- <H2>10.1.3. Old classes</H2>
- These classes, present in earlier versions of the <CODE>cgi</CODE> module, are still
- supported for backward compatibility. New applications should use the
- FieldStorage class.
- <P>
- <CODE>SvFormContentDict</CODE>: single value form content as dictionary; assumes each
- field name occurs in the form only once.
- <P>
- <CODE>FormContentDict</CODE>: multiple value form content as dictionary (the form
- items are lists of values). Useful if your form contains multiple
- fields with the same name.
- <P>
- Other classes (<CODE>FormContent</CODE>, <CODE>InterpFormContentDict</CODE>) are present for
- backwards compatibility with really old applications only. If you still
- use these and would be inconvenienced when they disappeared from a next
- version of this module, drop me a note.
