Well, you lose the information about what order the elements appeared in in the form, but that's usually fixed and known beforehand. I can imaging situations where it isn't, but not where it would matter. On the other hand, I have written code that had multiple occurences of the same NAME element, and depended on the order. I decided to rewrite it rather than depend on browsers to get this relatively minor point right. <mike
