in reply to Passing things back to the script! Novice needs help
I'll agree with the last poster on using hidden fields. They
are a quick and easy way of allowing you to save state if
you have dynamically served all of the pages. Otherwise you
have cookies (properly used of course) to save state. I'm
pretty sure that is what CGI does to maintain which browser's
state to recall
in that file. Note that this could possibly screw up
something if the user is clicking the forward and backward
button's a lot. This would cause the state in the file
to be out of sync with actual page displayed. Hidden
fields do not have this problem. (state is cached in the
page)
