Postable players are visible players whose values can be sent to a CGI program on the server. The postable players are button, text, control and sublet.
If a player's postable property is checked, the player's value is sent to a CGI program on the server with the mbedlet GET and POST actions.
The mbedlet GET and POST actions go through the entire mbedlet and build up a post string by looking for all of the players with the postable property. For each postable value that it finds, the mbedlet creates a name/value pair and appends it to the post string. The post string contains all of the postable values. By default, the postname is simply the player name, but you can set the POSTNAME property to use a different name.

note CGI Unleashed.
