Other issues aside, the main reason this won't work is that all the 
quantity inputs on the results page have the same name (mv_order_quantity). 
I am not a javascript guru, but I don't think that there is any way your 
script can differentiate the qty input for one product from the next. You 
could probably get this to work on the flypage, since there is typically 
just one item order form there, but I can understand that you need this 
functionality on the results page.

So I would guess that your remaining options are a) change the pricing and 
description of the item so that '1' = 1 box of 36, or b) use a selector for 
qty, which offers multiples of 36, going to a very high limit.
