I have not obviously researched this in detail (perhaps you may want to) but I do not believe that the any of the various web rfcs define that either the client or server should send/expect any form elements in any explict order, and that if any order is mentioned at all it is probably 'implementation defined'. The introduction of various CGI interface libraries for various languages probably munges this even further. I would not rely on any consistent order at all coming from any system. -Michel Dyon Balding wrote:
from dtml using REQUEST.form.items(), the order of the form variables is jumbled. is there any way to get the original order that they appeared in the <form>? assuming the browser sends them in the same order that they appear in the <form>?
