And that is true regardless of which browser they are using. In some scripting platform other than PHP, or if you process the raw post data yourself it could be different, but in PHP the variable $_POST['title'] will only have one value in it, and it will be the last one passed by the form. (In this case, "mot de passe".) Andrew
