My QF is posessed

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think QF may be posessed of an evil spirit. I validate form A, which has a hidden var disp_state set to "A". After validating and processing, $_REQUEST['disp_state'] === 'A'. Then I instantiate a totally new form B. I then $formB->addElement('hidden', 'disp_state', 'B'). And when QF creates this element, it *ignores* my value passed in to addElement, and instead insists on placing into it the value "A". If I print_r the element immediately after addElement'ing it, "A" is in there, not "B" which I specified. I have no code of my own in there between addElement and print_r. Who or what is making the decision to put a different variable in there? Only the shadow knows. But then if I explicitly setValue("B") afterwards, it stays in there, and the behaviour I expected is exhibited. I'm using $trackSubmit, but that doesn't look like it is the problem. Since I found the setValue workaround and I wasn't able to isolate this in a testscript suitable for a proper bug report, I'm just going to raise an eyebrow and move on from here. It's apparently some interaction with the rest of my application, but I can't imagine what. I'm on a tight deadline so I haven't time to do a lot of detective work on this, but I'm still curious what code of mine could be causing this strange behaviour? - -ken - -- - --------------- The world's most affordable web hosting. http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB/dGme8HF+6xeOIcRAncmAJ9EHRl5TLxco6hp/WfMQyrODTNtAgCdE5kO ALaOTrk1wjinCXH3U7U239E= =VHhP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
