Refining search results

I have an asp results page that returns results depending on their search criteria. I'd like to give them the option of clicking on check boxes in order to narrow down their results. Do I put the <form> tags outside these results? Because if it returns many results, will it work if each result has the same select name?

try to save your sql statement in a session then just append the search criteria as they try to narrow it down

I think if the form has more than one select with the same name ... when it gets submitted/posted

The recieving page recieves an array in the same order they are presnted on the page

(e.g.)

<FORM>
<SELECTorINPUT name = "a" value = "s">
<SELECTorINPUT name = "a" value = "v">
<SELECTorINPUT name = "a" value = "q">
</FORM>


lets say it is posted,

the Request.Form("a") will be an array

where

arr = Request.Form("a")

arr(0) will be s
arr(1) will be v
arr(2) will be q

I am not 100% sure about this .. if I am wrong please correct me.

Thanks everyone. I got it.
