Now looking @ the source of the page the element you want is this, I think:

<form name=3D"tou" method=3D"POST" action=3D"/FRONTDOOR">
<input type=3D"hidden" name=3D"accept" value=3D"N">

I figured you'd be able to say something like: fv(2, "accept", "Y")
and yet when you do that I get this from Twill:

>>> fv(2, "accept", "Y")
form field is read-only or ignorable; nothing done.
>>> fv(2, "accept", 1)
form field is read-only or ignorable; nothing done.
>>>

Titus? Anyone else?

Never had to tinker with hidden form fields.
