it never seems to fail...i look around for an answer, dont find it, send
out an email, and 2 minutes after i send the email i find the answer :)
Although i was just using req.fields() This is too similar to asp :)
One thing i am stuck on now though...how do i access an uploaded file from
a form? Maybe i shouldnt write code at 4am ;)
thanks for your help,
Ian
