well, of course this would happen. About 30 minutes after I posted, I seem to have found the answer.
Apparently, some browsers, under some conditions, keep the extra space I put in when I formated my HTML. I finally looked at the code generated by the PHP, and saw many extra spaces in my hidden fields. When I took out all formatting, and made the combination HTML and PHP code one line long, everything worked fine on all the offending machines. Incidentally, the problem showed up on WIN95, WIN98, and WINXP machines, using 5.5 and 6.0 browsers. This seems to have only been a problem on the hidden fields, for some reason. Other radio buttons, text fields, etc. seem to be unaffected by this problem. Anyway, thanks for the help. I thought it was probably the firewall myself, but apparently not?
