I think in this case $_REQUEST and $_POST should both get you what you
want. I'm wondering whether your javascript is inserting the form
fields within the correct <FORM></FORM> tags.
Also, FWIW, I doubt it has anything to do with your problem but you
are assigning the same value for ID each time through the loop. The ID
attribute is supposed to be unique for each element on the page.
