for lack of a better description the names are radmonized. This is because they are in a hash.
if you need them in a given order, you may want to "number" them. ex: <form> <input name="field_00_id"/> <input name="field_01_fname"/> <input name="field_99_memo"/> <input name="field_50_authnum"/> </form> then you can take request.getParameterNames() and sort it. if you still have trouble using it, then you can make a translation hash for all in (request.getParameterNames()) xlatehash.put(val.substring(10),val); now you can access them in order or by unprefixed name. does this help? IMHO: if you need the names in order there is a problem with you logic, cause there is no gaurentee that the browser will send them in any give fasion. -jason pyeron -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron http://www.pyerotechnics.com - - Owner & Lead Pyerotechnics Development, Inc. - - +1 410 808 6646 (c) 500 West University Parkway #1S - - +1 410 467 2266 (f) Baltimore, Maryland 21210-3253 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
