basically i have a form with lots of fields.. drop down boxes and textarea's and standard input text..
now what i need is a way to change all of these fields with a fetch button.
i can get the value for the fields from the perl script on my server side.

the form basicslly sends lots of fields to my perl script and saves each field of data into seperate text docs. now my customer would like to retrieve the data back to the form to change aspects of it to be resubmitted .
i am struggling with the simplist of codes to set the value of the fields from a javascript variable
any ideas please.
