How would I allow for spaces but not newlines in a textbox like the one that I use obtain the name? This is the reason that I am doing it so I can learn, I learn better by doing so by doing this and making mistakes (and fixing them) is a lot better for me than just reading about it. Sorry but reusing code from the CPAN is nice, but doesn't really help me learn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-cgi-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-cgi-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
