I have this code, because I want to have a lot of user inputs. However, once the user inputs this stuff, how do I save this into an array? Is that possible? I want to save it into an array that I can access from a java applet, is that possible as well?

When the form is submitted, the event handler, collectData gathers the text in each <input> and uses the push method to populate an array. This array is then stored in a hidden <input> and that data is then extracted by the form which then posts to the server.
I don't know much about Java applets but I got you this far. I suggest you ask about Java in a new question. Your tags are of a JavaScript/jQuery nature.
My demo actually functions with a test server so once submitted, the server will respond with the data that was posted to it.
This works: http://plnkr.co/edit/seD0L3oI7dTnXQrrFZPl?p=preview
form.addEventListener('submit', collectData, false);
function collectData(e) {
var userSites = [];
var cache = document.getElementById('cache');
var z = 0;
while (z < max_fields) {
z++;
var data = inputs[z].val();
userSites.push(data);
}
e.stopPropagation();
cache.value = userSites;
}
});
