Get POSTed form values

[Christopher Benson-Manica]

When a form is POSTed, how can I get at the POSTed values? (Yes, I
know I could use GET and get them from the url, surely there is a
better way, yes?)

Well you would access them on the server in frameworks like ASP or
ASP.NET or JSP.
For instance classic ASP where you could use Javascript on the server
has a collection Request.Form

Client-side script does not have more than document.forms and
document.forms['formName'].elements.

in Javascript under ASP, that runs serverside, try:

var myInputText = Request.form('myInputText');

When its posted it goes out of the domain of clientside javacript.

Prior to tat geteElemntsByName('whatever')[0].value is the value of form
element 'whatever'.

Once the server gets them, you won't be using javascript to read them.
