Yes, I do have it.
Each cell in an htmtable can be set to a certain kind of content type.
If you set it to HTML content, and create an input field that will contain/receive the text, you're done.
I know Mark has done a presentation on this technique during summit '08, he'll be happy to send you the details.

In order to enter a input field into an HTMLTable, add this code to your stack:

  
-* To create the variable
Compute I/I3=1;
Repeat Stk.FocCount
Compute stk(I).Inbox/a100=
  "<input type=text VALUE=' ', name=inputx " || I || " size=10 >";
Compute I=I+1;
Endrepeat

-* To retrieve the variable.
Compute I=1;
Repeat Stk.FocCount
Compute Stk(I).Inval/a10 = Form1.GetHTMLField('inputx' || I);
Compute I=I+1;
EndRepeat


This creates an input field of length 10 (about). When you place inbox in your HTMLTable remember to set the cell type to HTML and not text. Also, you can shrink the width of the field. If you need to PRESET the value to a database value, you can place that inbetween the quotes in the VALUE parameter.
