[development] Node limbo

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

That would be (will be?) great, but here's what I see.


I have a field myfield that I send to the client as a hidden field with 
value 0. I change the value, via javascript, on the client.


When I dsm $form in form_submit (I didn't try form_state yet), I see 
form->myfield->value as 0, but form->myfield->#post->myfield has the 
correct value.


When I look at the node object, I see myfield, but it is value 0, the 
original value, but not the value that was present when the form was 
submitted.
