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>?
Good luck. :( Browsers and servers are neither required to, nor are (to my knowledge) respecting any sequence of form fields. Basically, IME, if you need the data going in somewhere to be in the same order ( a program that expects certain values in certain a order, for example), have whatever processes the returned data order it for you. -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900
