[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Hiding prefix/suffix in volume creation

[Ben Shum]

Hi folks,

So I've been trying to figure out how best to hide prefix/suffix from 
being seen in the volume editor since we're not planning to implement 
these at this time.

We've tried using the CSS example to hide both prefix and suffix from 
view, and it results in errors when trying to create new volumes.  
Specifically, the server log seems to indicate that the term "undefined" 
is being passed as the option for prefix/suffix and that breaks things 
horribly.

My question is whether it's possible to assign a default prefix/suffix 
quietly behind the scenes even if we hide the fields from view using the 
CSS.  On our system, it looks like there's a prefix/suffix of id "-1" 
which correspond to a blank value.  Presumably this should be passed by 
default during item creation instead of the "undefined" which breaks things.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions folks have for us to try.
