Is this possible?

[Kijori]

i have a situation here. i have a web form with a few textfields displayed initially. there'll be a button to add more textfields to the existing ones using innerHTML. i intend to have the same element name for all textfields, eg.

<input type='text' name='something' value='somevalue'>

i don't want to have unique names as it would be tedious to assign variables to all of them individually.

i haven't tried it yet but is this possible?

use CGI;
$q = new CGI;

@textValue = $q->param('something'); #common for all

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
  print $cgi->header,
    $cgi->start_html;

if (!($cgi->param('submit')))
  {
  print $cgi->start_form,
    qq(  <textarea name='a1'  rows='3' cols='65'>
      first text area |</textarea><br>
      <textarea name='a1'  rows='3' cols='65'>
      second text area |</textarea><br>
      <textarea name='a1'  rows='3' cols='65'>
      third text area</textarea><br>
      <input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>),
  $cgi->end_form;
  }
else
  {
  @vars = $cgi->param('a1');
  print &quot;<pre>VAL of a1: <@vars></pre>&quot;;
  }
print $cgi->end_html;

'hope this helps
