You can set [value]'s via javascript. E.g., use a hidden form value.
<INPUT type=hidden name=browsertype>
<SCRIPT>
function set_browser(form) {
form.browsertype.value = "Netscape";
return 0;
}
</SCRIPT>
You also need something to call set_browser(this.form), probably best from
<BODY ... onLoad()> or whatever it is.
on the next page (or in mv_check) you can access it with:
[value browsertype]
I hope that helps,
