I found a trick to do this. Add an "onChange" function to the _state_
entry and the page is reloaded when the user changes the state. A bit
odd, but it does work fine as far as I can tell.
<INPUT onChange="this.form.submit()" TYPE="text" NAME="state"
VALUE="[value state]" size=8>
That does it. The two page checkout was getting frustrating and my
management wasn't very happy because the existing system is not a two page
checkout. They don't want to change too much look-n-feel too fast.
Best,
Kyle
