Well, I put a Perl function call in the -onsubmit of this button and it got called.

I have an array reference. When my page gets created the CGI loops through the array and puts the values into Text boxes so they can be changed.

I have a JavaScript to dynamically add rows to this table.

When the form is submitted, I need to gather the current values and put them back in my array ref. Here's the code: 

sub generateFlgNotes
{
    my $cgi = shift;
        my $readonly = shift;
        my $attr = shift;
        my $attrHash = shift;
        
        my $value = $attrHash->{VALUE};
        my $result;
                
     $result .= $cgi->start_table({-id=>'FlagNotesTable'}); 
     
      foreach my $note (@$value)
      {
           $result .= $cgi->Tr({}, 
                      $cgi->td("<TextArea>$note</TextArea>"));    
      }
        
        $result .= $cgi->end_table({});
        
        my $addbutton = button(-name=>'AddFlagNote',
           -value=>'Add Flag Note',
           -onclick=>"return addNote('FlagNotesTable', '')", 
           -onsubmit=>?????);
        
        $result .= $addbutton;
                
        return $result;
}
