Forms/CGI question

[Bill King]

We have a number of scripts that check for filled fields. Best examples 
are:
http://www-library.lbl.gov/Library/forms/illreq.html (Interlibrary loan)
http://www-library.lbl.gov/Library/forms/pwo/ (Lab publishing submission form)

Both of these save state using hidden variables, the first uses 
one script which is called twice, the second in a series of related 
scripts. Anyone that's interested can have the Perl code if you're 
from a .gov or .edu site.  

Mail me for details.
