Assuming that the form was submitted via HTTP POST using the standard MIME type (application/x-www-urlencoded), they'd be strung together like this: myfield=value1&myfield=value2&myfield=value3... CF, in its quest to make things as easy for us as possible, makes this into a single variable with a comma-delimited list. But if you've enabled debug output or reference Form.Fieldnames directly, you can see the repeated field name in the Form.Fieldnames variable also created by CF.
