I have a hidden input field that when the preview button is clicked, i want it to set the value of the hidden field to something different. here is the example....
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function CreatePreview(){
document.PostCode.Preview.value="yes";
document.PostCode.submit();
}
</script>
<form action="segments_admin.asp" method="post" name="PostCode">
<input type="hidden" name="Preview" value="no">
<input name="Preview" type="button" value=" Preview " onclick="CreatePreview()">
</form>
it submits the form fine, but does not change the value, any ideas?

Hum, there is a bug with NS4.x so try using this instead:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function CreatePreview(){
document.PostCode.Preview.value="yes";
setTimeout("document.PostCode.submit()", 10);
}
</script>
<form action="segments_admin.asp" method="post" name="PostCode">
<input type="hidden" name="Preview" value="no">
<input name="PreviewButton" type="button" value=" Preview " onclick="CreatePreview()">
</form>
And you hade two object with the same name!

Never forget to use the SetTimeout, cause of a bug in Netscape.

is the 10 the amount of seconds to wait before submiting?
setTimeout("document.PostCode.submit()", 10);
should it be set to 1 instead?
setTimeout("document.PostCode.submit()", 1);

No 10 seconds would be 10000... It's Millisecond.

Alternately you could always try this!
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function CreatePreview(){
document.PostCode.Preview.value="yes";
document.PostCode.submit();
}
</script>
<form action="segments_admin.asp" method="post" name="PostCode">
<input type="hidden" name="Preview" value="no">
<a href="javascript:CreatePreview();">preview</a>
</form>
