Rik -

So you are suggesting I use an array but what do you mean by e
ampersads? Does that mean the ":" should be and &?

The reason I placed the colons is that they are just part of the field
input name I thought was necessary for the post. For instance, one
field on the form is called
MasterTemplate:_PageTemplate:cphCenterContent:CenterContent:zipTextBox.
Looks real weird to me as well but I do not know any other way to post
to the field than to call it as specified in the input name of the form
i.e. <input
name="MasterTemplate:_PageTemplate:cphCenterContent:CenterContent:zipTextBox"
type="text" maxlength="5"
id="MasterTemplate__PageTemplate_cphCenterContent_CenterContent_zipTextBox"
tabindex="1" class="dealertext" style="width:100px;" size="20" />

Is this incorrect?

Thank you.
