I have been trying to find an answer to this question for some time.
There used to be an example of this in the NCSA fill-out forms examples
but it seems to have disappeared about 8 months ago. I think X Mosaic still
supports it, but I don't think any of the other browsers do. It sure would
be nice to find out if this is "real" HTML or not, cuz it sure seems
useful to me.
