Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.Hi all, I have a form that has multiple <select> elements that have the same name. This is so that the destination script can deal with all of them as an array. <select multiple> is not appropriate because the order in which options are chosen is significant. A simple version of the form might be <form action="foo.pl" method="POST"> <select name="m"> <option>a <option>b <option>c </select> <select name="m> <option>a <option>b <option>c </select> <input type="submit"> </form> Works great. The handler script works wonderfully. However, when I try to test it all with WWW::Mechanize, there's a problem with HTML::Form, which parses it out to be (effectively) a single select with 6 options. I don't see anyway to make HTML/Form.pm parse this correctly without one of several really unpleasant modifications. I don't want to have to change the names of the <select> elements to be unique (e.g. m1, m2), because then I'd have to add code to the handler script to put these parameters into an array. I get that effect automatically with the current naming. Comments/thoughts/suggestions?
