Ed,

iīm not sure about this thread. But it seems to me, passing any values
via the post methode with your codes like above should cause some
trouble. It seems to me, you canīt use the _same_ variable name to pass
more than one value. What did you get, if you use the different
variable names like "myfield1", "myfield2" and so on?

Iīm in a muddle. With my understanding of the post methode, i canīt
believe, your codes like above with _one_ name for _all_ those different
values will works well. Is this a right usage to pass a lot of values
with a lot of input tags with the same _one_ name?

Regards,

	Joachim
