I guess my question about order was more of HTML/submit question than a question about arrays. I just want to guarantee that the order of the values being sumitted stay in the order they are on the page.
I was simply giving every input field the same name such as "product" and catching the values in a String array in the ActionForm. I needed to worry about sort order in order to associate the values to their ids. Great example, I didn't think of creating an array of object like you to keep all of the data on one record together. --- Lynn Guy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just did this, maybe an example will help > > Read the database and stuff the data into an > arraylist.
