I have been using the records form variable type, but believe there may be a problem with it. With most browsers all appears OK, however some browsers (e.g. Mozilla) may return form elements out of order. What this means is that when trying to use the records type their is no guarantee that the different elements of a single record will be sent consecutively and therefore the records objects will not be correctly constructed by Zope. I would like to know if this is the fault of browser or if this is an issue which excludes the general use of the records type. If the latter what alternatives would be recommended - I would prefer not to have to create unique form element names as it would add a fair amount of complication. What guarantees can be safely assumed about data arriving from a form - for example if you try using the list type is the order in which the components of the list guaranteed to be the same as the order in which the respective form elements occur in the document? -- Dr. John A.R.
