Great idea, thanks Curt!
I almost fell for this and updated my code. Then I decided to read the spec for myself and noticed that it doesn't say anywhere that % is ok either *grin*.
- ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
Yeah I sort of ignored that :) What is interesting though is that
the html spec isn't fully supporiting HTTP. This probably should be
changed to allow urlencoded characters. Although I do see the
justification for this
document.forms[0].stuff[title].value
or document.forms[0].stuff%5Btitle%5D.value
just wont work
Kind of supports the idea that PHP should turn multiple variables into an array automatically, without the need of specifying [ and ].
That would kill the ability of "name" keys in the HTML, though...
<input type="text" name="name[xxx][yyy]" value="">
I like being able to do that and don't really care if it doesn't conform to the HTML spec... oh well. :)
