I have had trouble with some forms that seem to dynamically resize or adjust 
the permitted values in one field based on another.  (I think that one of 
Road Runner's pages did this to me, for example.)  A list of cities in a 
drop-down has values that depend on the choice of a state in another 
drop-down.  I suppose that there's some sort of javascript that fills the 
values for the second drop-down.  Unfortunately, the fields can resize after 
the first value is selected, causing the second drop-down to be covered and 
unselectable.  In those cases, my form submission always fails.
