Chrome browser not submitting new hidden form value

Chrome browser not submitting new hidden form value

Has anybody seen this behaviour before.

Upon certain selections within an HTML select, I replace a second HTML select element with a hidden form value (via an ajax call):

<input type="hidden" name="bootsReqd" value="1"/>

However, upon submit, bootsReqd holds a value of -2 when using Google Chrome (the original value from the replaced HTML select.

Firefox submits the new correct value of -1 however.

Does anybody have any ideas on a solution?
