Hallo Perlmonks,

I have a form with a table where new rows can be added/deleted dynamically by clicking on add/remove button. The new rows are now added at the end of the table, but in the future I must have the possibility to insert new rows in any position in the table and move up/down the rows. The table will contain Access List and the order of rules is critical.

The new rows contain more columns with input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons and a select list. The table is populated with data from a small database (and all form elements used now unique name). I used Perl and JavaScript to do this job.

My problem begin when I try to save the new added/removed rows back into the database. When I submit the form, the POST string not contain my new added data. Yes, I know what is happening but I have no solution.

My question is, how can I save my changes (with new added rows) from the HTML table into the database? I wish to use simple programming style (KISS style) and not big/complicate module. Template style and performance is not important for me, because will be one page and only one user will work with the application. The security is very important.

I wish to use only perl (and perhaps JavaScript, but no AJAX) for my work. If it's necessary, I can restart all over again in accord with your guidance.

Thanks in advance for your sugestions

Josef
