i hope you haven't solved this problem yet.  if you have, i hope this can be
useful in some way to you and others.

i wasn't able (with my limited play time these days) to figure out exactly
what was causing netscape to not play nice with your javascript.  i tested
it with a text box (instead of a hidden field) and it still wouldn't write
the value to the field or report it in the alert().

so, since i felt bad about being stumped and slow in responding to your
problem, i took 10-15 minutes to write the functionality from scratch to see
if the problem was reproducible from dissimilar script.  fortunately, i was
unable to reproduce it and have succeeded in building a version that does
what you want it to.  i even managed to end up with a solution that's
slightly smaller as well.  enough bragging, here's the goods:
