always is alittle strong language.  sure, if you're talking about js-enabled
clients, then always would probably be a true statement.  however, clients
that either don't support javascript or have it disabled will be in for a
rough ride.  unfortunately for them, the hidden field will never get set and
they'll end up getting the form over and over again as if they changed one
of the select fields.  obviously that's not a very attractive situation for
non-javascript clients.

not sure what the solution is though, unfortunately.
