Hello Monks,

This question is about incorporating java script(?) in a perl + CGI program.
Am not sure whether java script is the one to be used or can be done in perl-CGI itself

This is the problem:
I have a set of text area fields ( eg: 3 text area displayed in a row )
and when the user clicks a button, I would like to add another set of text area fields
eventually,
2 set of textarea in different lines


I tried the following 
add_set_of_text_area;
if ( $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} =~ /^Button_name/ ) {
    add_set_of_text_area; # this displays 3 text area fields
}

The problem with this as you can see is the maximum set of textarea fields that can be generated is only 2 sets.
As and when the user clicks the button, I need to keep generating the set of textarea fields.
How can I keep track of the set of text area fields already generated?

Can you please provide me some pointers on how to keep generating the set of textarea fields on clicking the 'button'?
