[mv] Help!! Adding Customer-input variables

Hi,

Iīve a problem that has had me stumped this last week, which goes as such:

A client would like the option of choosing various typefonts and a
text-input field for engraving his products and
having this displayed on the flypage...
The fonts part seems relatively easy by adding an extra variable to the
products.txt giving the choice of 1,2,3,4
and then using

[if-item-field typefont]
 <font face="verdana" size="2" color="#003366"><b>
 Please choose one of the following four blabla
 <P><SMALL>Fonttypes:   [item-accessories fonttype]
[else]
[/else]



Now how do I input the text eg. " happy birthday Mum" using either <input>
or <textarea> and asign this variable
to a specific item... so that Minivend carries it forth through the entire
shopping process??
I canīt use something like  [item-accessories engraving]  , as then it will
allways take the variable from
the products.txt.... Trying to get this worked out Iīve disected the
giftnote line:
<TEXTAREA NAME=[item-code]engraving ROWS=5 COLS=72>[value
[item-code]engraving]</TEXTAREA>
..trying to get something to work (to no avail I might add)

I know enough html to do the forms etc... I just havenīt a clue as to how to
do it in such a way that MV
will assign the text-input to an itemcode and retain it throughout the
shopping process.....

Can ANYONE Help????
Thanks
