Re: HTTP_POST_VARS problem

Please ignore my question - I just figured it out. I had the method="post" in the input type="submit" tag rather than in the form tag. It works! However, if one has an HTML select/option menu scrolling list with multiple selections, how does one get the number of values for the same name with HTTP_POST_VARS? Or how does one scroll through the list of choices passed? Thanks, Eurico ejfs@sympatico.ca wrote: > Hi.
