Answer 1

In my case it was because I was using jQuery to disable all inputs on the page just before using jQuery to submit the form. So I changed my "disable every input even the 'hidden' types":

$(":input").attr("disabled","disabled"); 

to "disable only the 'button' type inputs":

$('input[type=button]').attr('disabled',true);

This was so the user couldn't accidentally hit the 'go' button twice and hose up our DB! It seems that if you put the 'disabled' attribute on a 'hidden' type form input their values won't be sent over if the form is submitted!
