Hello,

I love chrono forms! Thank you so much for this service. But I'm having some issues here.

I wrote the code by hand (after reading up on how to make forms), yet when the user submits the application to us we only recieve half of the information:

A TEST (this is what shows for the users information)

{Last Name}*:=

{Address}:
869 congress st

state:
costa mesa

state
CA

zip
92627

{email}
[email]oddball13@hotmail.com[/email]

{Phone Number}:

{Which time should we contact you?}:

{Which courses will you be attending?}:

{Suggest Course}:

{Will you be needing tuition assistance?}:

Submit
Send Application

_______

So only the address information shows up, but none of the other information. I will paste the code here, and someone PLEASE help me figure out why the name and course information for this online school wont show up. Thank you!!!

Hi oddyball,

Field names can't have spaces in them. They give ChronoForms indigestion and they are bad html. Replace 'Phone Number' with 'phone_number' (or just 'phone') and 'Which time should we contact you?' with 'time'.

No punctuation is allowed and field names must begin with a letter (they can have numbers later but not at the beginning).

I also try to use only lower-case as that removes a source of problems when you type 'Email' in one place and 'email' somewhere else.

Hi oddyball,

Add 'email' (no quotes) to the 'Email fields' box in the Special Fields tab.

Bob

PS There is a bug with this - you still need to have a valid email address in the box on the General Tab too.
