httpunit / Discussion / Open Discussion: set hidden fields and submit

Why can't I set the value of a hidden input and do a submit? Can someone provide me the sample code to do this?

<input="hidden" name="linkSource"
value=""/>

I need to set this hidden field to "addComponentPage". However, I cannot do this:

This is what happens:

Testcase: testMakeFromPart_AddComp(com.ge.ne.psi.view.TestParts_test):      Caused an ERROR
Parameter 'linkSource' must have the value ''. Attempted to set it to: { addComponentPage }
