Is there a way to get number from a form?

- Tue Mar 10, 2015 3:27 am #11711 Hi everyone! I am quite new to lua and even more to html, but I have been developing in c for ages.
I am struggling with something; How would someone get number from webpage in lua.
Code: Select all  <input type="number" name="points"   min="0" max="100" step="1" value="30">
  <input type="submit">

In examples I have seen so far everyone are just using _GET to test which button was pressed. Is there anyway to input and parse numbers from forms?
Thank you for your suggestions.

The basic problem with doing anything more sophisticated is that there is very little free memory to play with -- so the type of HTML parsing library that you would normally reach for is too large :-(
