#35 user defined form elements handling

[Shireesh]

There are lots of parameters that can be configured in
htdig.conf file. say for example "results per page".
But if I wish to make the value of this parameter
dynamic, i.e., allow the user to choose a value for
this from a drop-down box on his browser, and submit
his search query, the search result is shown as
desired but the dropdown box value gets reset. There
should be provision for handling user defined form
elements in the CGI programs.

There are ways of doing this already.
