[Web4lib] Form coding problem

[Edward Spodick]

We have a subscription to TCE Today, and I am trying to ease the login for our users.  I am trying a script-generated form, with the needed username and password variables.  But there is a third form input element, which is a check box on their login form.  If I leave it as a checked checkbox in the script-generated code, the login works.  If I convert it to a hidden input element, with value="yes", the login fails.  If someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it.

Form which WORKS when the submit button is pressed:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.tcetoday.com/tce/login1.asp" target="_top">
	   <input type="hidden" name="memberno" value="username">
	   <input type="hidden" name="pinno" value="password">
	   <input type="checkbox" name="chkIsOrg" id="chkIsOrg" checked>
	   <input type="submit" value="CONNECT NOW">
</form>
