Re: HTML Form retaining values

This sounds like something that could be browser-specific.

Also, you should try using CGI.pm instead of parsing your params by hand. You could replace your ParseForm() sub with this:

sub ParseForm 
{
    use CGI qw(:standard);
    my @keys = param();
    foreach my $key (@keys) {
        $formdata{$key} = param($key);
    }
}
[download]

This is much safer, as CGI.pm is smart enough to avoid edge cases that could cause security problems in your CGI.

This would do the same `use CGI qw(Vars); my %formdata = Vars();` [download] - Tom	[reply] [d/l]
