Currently, if autobarcode is set to "<branch>yymm00001", the barcode won't be
created. Depending on your browser, you should receive a Javascript alert
saying something like "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'field_value'
of undefined". 

This looks like it's due to the form containing elements with a 'field_value'
property missing the name "f". 

The easiest fix is to add a name of "f" to the form. That eliminates the
problem and allows the barcode to be created. 

However, as Jared and Robin have pointed out, "f" is a really poor choice of
names for a form. We should probably be using descriptive names for our forms. 

We should probably also be populating the barcode field in a way that doesn't
rely on looping through the inputs of a form. Maybe we could just look for the
branch code by doing $('#outeritemblock #subfielda') or something like that.
