Inserting variable into hidden input

[Navillus]

Hi all,

I'm trying to insert a javascript variable into a hidden input form
field. Here's what it looks like:

<form name="loginForm"
action="scripts/wgate/ziac_login/!?~language=EN">
<input type="hidden" name="pss" value="`G_NEW_PASSWORD.value`">
<input type="hidden" name="usr" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Please Click Here to Continue">
</form>

and then later down the page I try to reassign "usr" like this:

<script>
var allcookies = document.cookie;
var position = allcookies.indexOf("user=");
var start = position + 5;
var end = allcookies.indexOf(";", start);
if (end == -1) end = allcookies.length;
var valueofuser = allcookies.substring(start, end);
valueofuser = unescape (valueofuser);
document.write(valueofuser);
document.loginForm.usr.value = valueofuser;
</script>

I can see it is printing out document.write(valueofuser) correctly, so
I know it is grabbing the user name. But it doesn't seem to want to
insert it into the form on the next line. Any suggestions?

I don't know what to say, this sentence is quite simple, there's nothing
to find on it =]
