IMO, hidden tags are really a complicated and somewhat unmaintainable way of storing input from previous pages. You'd be better off taking a look at CGI::Session, which will enable you to easily store/retrieve these parameters server side.	[reply]

To be honest, I would agree with that. Not to mention a security issue in some cases. I will have a look at CGI::Session for maintaining stateful variables.	[reply]

Store them as multiple hidden tags with the same name.	[reply]
