that's a good point... are they just passing user info in the URL?
does your script accept that?
i once created form fields whose names were dynamically
generated on every page view, and then were matched up with the
real names on the server do data could be written to the db... i only
had a few fields, so it wasn't too hard to manage that, as long as
you come up with an algorithm that works...
