Hi all,

I try to convert my application (that uses CGI) and HTML::Template from a html generating app to an xhtml generating application.
the html 'name' isn't allowed anymore, all has to be done using 'id', but if i submit a form, CGI expects the form elements to have names, thus the form seems empty using id only.
Am i missing something here, or is the id of a form element just not been read yet by CGI?

ps. the xhtml has to validate against the w3c validator. (using strict in stead of transitional)
