Thanks!

I'm now moving my "advanced" form fields outside the <form> tag
as explained in the link above to hide them and prevent them from
being submitted.

I originally was going to use a combination of "disabled" and
"display: none" to prevent the hidden form fields from being
submitted.  I suppose it's better to change the structure of the DOM
than to just disable the fields.

BTW - 

I wanted to make it so if Javascript is disabled that the advanced
form would show.  The problem with that is with Javascript *enabled*
the form first shows then vanishes when the onLoad event runs.  Kind
of ugly.

So, I now have "display: none" on the advanced form to prevent it from
initially displaying, but that makes the form not display if
javascript is disabled.
