[Javascript] Re: Automatic Unique Form Numbering

[Cutter (javascript list)]

I would think that, in this case (using js), you're SOL. To do an 
incremental number like you're asking for would require a server-side 
variable so that the server keeps track of the "unique" number and 
increments it. If you're processing your form through a SQL server then 
using an autoincrement id field would handle this for you...
