Old versions of IE don't allow you to set .type = on an input element. You can't do it by other means (jQuery's attr(), or js setAttribute()) either.
So thee input is now hidden via css (visilibility: hidden; position: absolute;) in cases where it can't have its type changed. I didn't use display:none; as this would prevent the input value from being posted.
