And you are check the source code and notice the hidden fields are still
blank, well of course they would be. The HTML would only reflect what
was sent and generated by the webserver, i.e. the Perl script.
JavaScript runs on the client machine may change the field values but
you will not see it in the source. Only after the form is process will
your see the values in the receiving script.
Client-side JavaScript generated code is never seen in the View Source
of a browser, with one exception. Netscape 4.x would show JavaScript
generated code upon the initial loading of the page, not of course for
DHTML changes after the pages loaded.
Maybe I should ask, how are you checking if SGROUP values have been changed?
