Wouldn't this make the most sense if the multiple attribute behaved the same way on other elements, as it currently does with <select multiple="multiple">? IIRC, when multiple values are selected, multiple name=value pairs are submitted, so therefore, if it were applied to uri and date inputs, as above, then multiple name=value pairs should also be submitted. The only problem is that it may not degrade gracefully into older UAs, and would still need to submit a delimited list in one name=value pair, so the server would need to check whether multiple pairs were recieved; or, if only one was recieved, whether it contains a delimited list of values, or a single value. -- Lachlan Hunt http://www.lachy.id.au/ lachlan.hunt at lachy.id.au
