HTML_QuickForm - setValue() not working?

I have a form that's changing a hidden element with javascript before submitting, and I'm trying to reset this element before redisplaying the form. Unfortunatly doing a setValue() on this element doesn't appear to work, and I just can't figure out why this might be. class myForm extends HTML_QuickForm { function myForm() { $this->HTML_QuickForm('RadUser'); // this is added for the javascript to change to allow the // action handler (serverside) to read it $action =& $this->createElement('hidden', 'action'); $this->addElement($action); // call the action handler $this->_actionHandler(); $action->setValue('moo'); $this->addElement('submit', 'post', 'Submit'); } } Any ideas are most welcome.
