  • revision 1.39 date: 2001/08/20 23:41:08; author: nwiger; state: Exp; lines: +60 -42 this works pretty well, but has a few problems. for one thing, I'm not sure what to do about the _sessionid or _submitted fields. Part of me says to leave them out and let the user insert them if they want. _sessionid is automatically handled anyways by keepextras, but not really - you want it there even if you have keepextras off. So, we reallyt want to track this stuff automatically. This means I just have to decide what the submitted() function is going to return... maybe the number of times only in an array ctxt?
