I'm not quite sure, if this is what I need.

I need to passthrough an additional variable, lets say my_param, which may
contain any string.

If I get the documentation right, I cannot use allow in Form, as this is
only valid for config attributes known by htdig, but  htdig knows nogthing
about my_param.

I cannot use select Lists, because there is no fixed list of values for
my_param, right?

Maybe I should try to describe the mechanism in more detail:

In the search form there is a javascript, which generates a string and
stores it in hidden field "my_params". In the result page there is a
javascript, which shall parse "my_params". 

Sorry if I missed the point.

Bye

  Stefan

See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#allow_in_form
and http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#build_select_lists

If you use the latter, you may also be interested in this patch

    ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.5/build_select_lists.0

to make the attribute more powerful/flexible.
