revision 1.39
date: 2001/08/20 23:41:08;  author: nwiger;  state: Exp;  lines: +60 -42
this works pretty well, but has a few problems. for one thing,
I'm not sure what to do about the _sessionid or _submitted
fields. Part of me says to leave them out and let the user
insert them if they want. _sessionid is automatically
handled anyways by keepextras, but not really - you want
it there even if you have keepextras off. So, we reallyt
want to track this stuff automatically. This means I just
have to decide what the submitted() function is going to
return... maybe the number of times only in an array ctxt?
----------------------------
revision 1.38
date: 2001/08/20 23:16:32;  author: nwiger;  state: Exp;  lines: +29 -12

this version was gearing up to use %HTMLATTR, but it's just way
better to take out our custom tags so that we don't have to update
the module for every new version of HTML
----------------------------
revision 1.11
date: 2001/08/08 00:03:48;  author: nwiger;  state: Exp;  lines: +121 -26

----------------------------
revision 1.10

working well, the only thing that this doesn't handle yet is the
ability to have multiple options AND multiple values (like
with multiple select lists and checkboxes). Hmm.
----------------------------

The very simplest cases are handled. Still no processing, and no
customization of field attrs (like checkbox, size, etc).
----------------------------
revision 1.2
date: 2001/08/03 18:48:07;  author: nwiger;  state: Exp;  lines: +51 -13
