    By textbox I assume you mean a TEXTAREA tag. By "add button" I assume you mean some client side scripting like JavaScript?

    Really not sure I'm grasping what you are trying to say -- ranguage rarrier and so forth -- but really without seeing the code you are using it's impossible to diagnose what you even mean, much less what you want.

    1) Why is that a table?

    2) Where are your labels and fieldsets?

    3) if it WAS a table you should be using TH instead of TD+B

    4) You seem to be using this oddball mix of client side and server side code for... well... I'm not even sure why. Is that some form of attempt at submit validation or something?!? Of course, I wouldn't waste memory making copies of your $_POST values for no good reason...

    It looks to me like you're trying to use client side scripting to process something that should be handled server-side when you output the form... of course i have no idea what your 'Fillup' method is supposed to do... referring to elements by their 'name' is outdated Netscape 4 style... I've no clue why you're sending alerts when you resend the form instead of just say... colorizing the invalid element and showing text below it.

    I'm not sure what it is you're trying to accomplish, but it's a laundry list of how not to build a form or create user interaction for it. You've got 15 year out of date markup with pointlessly bloated PHP to do... well, I'm not even sure...
