OK. So here's what I think I've figured out. It'll take more testing
before I'm sure.
You can't use a positive lookahead before the main section. I should
have known this, given the name "lookahead", right?
CF does not support lookbehind.
As a workaround, you can grab the whole <input...> string, then do
another check to find the name="..." bit. Not efficient or elegant, but
it should do the trick.
