Submit to multiple records with single submit form

[ibiubu]

I have a form that displays a single record from an online search. I can fill in the form and hit the submit button, and a new FM record is created with the contents of the form. This all works GREAT.

But here is my question: what if I use the [FMP-Record] tags, and within my form I show the contents of 3 seperate records. This is done by using a [FMP-Include: Filename]. Something like:

<form action=FMPro method=post name=Edit>

[FMP-Record]

[FMP-Include: contents.html]

[/FMP-Record]

<input type="submit" name="-Edit" value="Continue">

</form>

That is not the complete form code, but you get the idea. A find is performed, 3 records are found, and each record is displayed in the [FMP-Include: contents.html]. Is there a way once the form is filled out to be able to hit the submit button and basically have all 3 records updated?

I know how it works now would have to be redone, but I don't quite know how. I know it can be done somehow because I have seen it. But I am not quite sure of even where to begin. Does anyone have any thoughts that could point me in the right direction?

The only way to do this is with php (or similar). We have tried using Javascript and submitting a Form/URL for each record, however this has some problems.

All the best.

Another way is to display the records in a portal. You can the submit the portal changes in one step. I attach my old example I had published about 4 years ago in the fmwebtalk discussion list.
