[ic] Hidden fields mapping

[J.-P. Parent]

Ed,

I dont understand how the following code affect the URL request?!

You are telling me that when the person will submit the form, the mv_check
will execute this code. I follow you there I've worked a bit with mv_check
but that the return value of this code is actually the URL is out of my
understanding...I think the variables that will be created will be session
vars wouldnt they? I need em to be hidden posts.

Besides, it doesnt seem to work. Is there any way i could see if the values
have been modified?

Here's what i tried:

[set map_fields]
[perl]
         my $out;
         $out = "name=$CGI->{fname}%40$CGI->{lname}\n";
         $out .= "address=$CGI->{address1}\n";
         return $out;
[/perl]
[/set]

and by setting the hidden mv_check to map_fields of course.

J.P.
