Sounds like a cool project. I'm glad to hear you're already able to manage

all the choices people make, and show them their final auto.


To let the server know their choices, couldn't each instance of your

"submit" button have a slightly different URL, which includes the CGI

name=value pairs that the database will need to know? It could be a little

laborious to type this in, true, but would you be able to give each button

instance the info about the choice...?
