ComboBox valueField - Ext JS

Hi,

I noticed that you are creating a hidden input and storing the valueField in that input. This works great if you will be submitting the form because you store the hiddenName. Is it possible to make the id of that hidden input the same as its name? This allows you to access the value by id which happens to be what I am doing.

I believe this should do the trick (located in Combo.js):

    onRender : function(ct){
        Ext.form.ComboBox.superclass.onRender.call(this, ct);
        if(this.hiddenName){
            this.hiddenField = this.el.insertSibling({tag:'input', type:'hidden', name: this.hiddenName, id: this.hiddenName},
                    'before', true);
            this.hiddenField.value = this.value;
        }
      ...

I would love to see this added into the library.

Actually, that didn't work for me. But I'm sure there is a master mind among you that can achieve what I am after.

Any chance of getting the value into the id of the hidden field?

Sorry to not respond. I already added it in, it will be in the next rev.
