Re: . becomes _ when submitting page

Hmmm, I guess you're right. But I have some vague memories from useing dots in name attributes before. But that was with ASP & IIS... I have some excuse for using dots, it's Windows filenames. They come with dots and I can't change the attribute names because it's refering to the file. I guess I will have to go around it with hidden fields and indexes... Too bad, it was such a brilliant solution with the filename in the name attribute :( Anyway, thanx for enlightning me! Regards Kjell Ignatius Reilly wrote: > Your naming conflicts with javascript.
