Hallo, I have the following perl script which through cgi prints a text box, among other things, and lets me do a keyword search in a mysql database. I was wondering if there is a way to add a button that will replicate the code for again so I can search for two,three, and so on parameters. The code is as follows : 
my $i = 0;
while (@col = $sth->fetchrow()) {
        $i++;
        print "<INPUT TYPE=\"checkbox\" NAME=\"tissues\" VALUE=\"$col[
+0]\">$col[0];\n";
    }


$sth->finish;

    print "<br>";
    print "The mirna expression level should be: <br>\n";
    print "Greater than :<INPUT TYPE=\"TEXT\" NAME=\"greater\"<br>\n";
    print "Lower than :<INPUT TYPE=\"TEXT\" NAME=\"lower\"<br>\n";
    print "<INPUT TYPE=\"checkbox\" NAME=\"hsa_mirna\" VALUE=\"hsa-mir
+-\">hsa-mir-\n";
    print "OR\n";
    print "<INPUT TYPE=\"checkbox\" NAME=\"block\" VALUE=\"block\">blo
+ck\n";
    print "<INPUT TYPE =\"textbox\" NAME=\"number\"\n";

        
print '<INPUT TYPE = SUBMIT VALUE="Click To Submit">';
print '<INPUT TYPE=RESET></FORM>';


print '</body></html>';

the part that I really want to replicate is the textbox element. Is there any way to do that in perl, or should I try to find something in javascript? thank you in advance for any help
