Thanks Jesse. I'm not sure why that wont work.
The file that the updater is pointing to contains this script ( i am
passing a hidden variable as well~ that i have control over):
<?php
if ($_GET['type'] == 'white' && $_GET['decide'] == 'yes'){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('type').value = 'green';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
this script works when i just want to replace the placeholder with
html - but it doesn't seem to effect the input field at all when the
script is added.
When I submit the form after the replacement it still uses the value
of "white".
