For now, I've changed my code to this (thanks, Kevin!), except removing 
the image swap, and using just a plain submit button.

Works fine, except any other "submits," such as removing an item, 
changing the country, or recalculating give "errors in your last 
submission...", just like my old code did.

Does it do this to you?
