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...
