I'm completely perplexed. I set the value of a hidden field with jQuery and the submit the form. The hidden value is present when I dump the $_POST array via PHP unless I use Internet Explorer.

Here's the test code:

$('#hidden-field').val('I am a hidden value');

// To make sure it's setting properly ...
// This shows its being set in FF, Chrome, **AND** IE
alert($('#hidden-field').val());

Then on the PHP side:

print_r($_POST);

For submissions made with IE the result looks like this:

Array
(
    [hidden-field] =>
)

Other browsers have the value. Help? Why doesn't the value submit and how can I make it?
