Perl only runs on the server, not on the client. If you want to solve this problem using only Perl, you will have to (re)show the forms where no selections have been made yet. If you want to solve this problem using Javascript, you will have to have your Perl print the appropriate Javascript.	[reply]

My program (in Perl) is constructing an HTML file (using a HERE document). The HTML presents the dropdown boxes and submits the selection(s). Right now it is submitting using 'GET' to localhost. I can see the submission string in the URL line but it only has values from one 'submit;...I need the submission string to have a series of values.	[reply]

This sounds more like a problem in your HTML and less like a problem with Perl. Can you show a short HTML example together with the server-side Perl (each about 20 lines) that we can run to reproduce your situation? Maybe you have not given your HTML input elements the `name` and `value` attributes?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Chrome returns a page which say (in effect) that some dangerous code has been detected....I had written the example as: `...example` [download] Corion suggested that I needed to use only one form and I removed the first closing </form> and that did the trick. Thanks	[reply] [d/l]

Did you use `<code>...</code>` tags to mark the code as code? ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
