Summary: jswidget not adding field info to forms in Safari & Firefox

Initial Comment:
My site embeds jswidget into a html form and the PHP file that is the target 
of the form action expects to see form fields named cc_js_result_uri, 
cc_js_result_img, and cc_js_result_name. This is the behavior that I see with 
jswidget v0.92. With jswidget 0.95 these form fields are not being sent from 
Safari 3.2 or Firefox 3.01, but they are being sent from Internet Explorer 
7.0. 

My html looks like this:
 <form action='upload.php' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
 <table class='upload'>
  <tr class='lupload'><td><script type='text/javascript' 
src='http://api.creativecommons.org/jswidget/tags/0.95/complete.js?locale=en_US'></script></td></tr>
  <tr class='lupload'>
   <td>
    <input type='hidden' name='author' value='$byauthor' />
    <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Change License' />
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
 </form>


My PHP file dumps the POST variable to see what the browser sent in the post. 
Under Safari and Firefox the POST variable looks like this:
array(6) { ["cc_js_want_cc_license"]=>  string(4) "sure" ["cc_js_share"]=>  
string(1) "1" ["cc_js_remix"]=>  string(0) "" ["cc_js_jurisdiction"]=>  
string(7) "generic" ["author"]=>  string(11) "MtnViewJohn" ["submit"]=>  
string(14) "Change License" } 

Under IE7 it looks like this:
array(9) { ["cc_js_want_cc_license"]=> string(3) "nah" ["cc_js_share"]=> 
string(1) "1" ["cc_js_remix"]=> string(0) "" ["cc_js_jurisdiction"]=> 
string(7) "generic" ["cc_js_result_uri"]=> string(43) 
"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"; ["cc_js_result_img"]=> 
string(47) "http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png"; 
["cc_js_result_name"]=> string(41) "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 
Unported" ["author"]=> string(11) "MtnViewJohn" ["submit"]=> string(14) 
"Change License" }

Message:
I'm closing this bug because the behavior that version 0.92 exhibits on
some browsers does not seem to be a supported feature of jswidget. I now
use javascript on form submission to grab the widget information from
element cc_js_result_uri, etc. and copy it to hidden form input elements. I
guess this is a more reliable way of getting the browser to include
jswidget data in the form data set on submission.
