Drop downs and radio buttons not pushing data through to dat

malcolmp 10 Dec, 2008
Hi

I have the form I want, with the fixed information buttons, thanks for the help last time. Max and Bob.

I now have changed and added radio buttons and drop downs for the questions, but the data captured by the user, does not get saved through to my database connection or the report in email.

What am I not doing?

Should I start the Wizard from scratch again?

Thanks

Malcolm

PS. stepping out for about an hour or so but will check back on my return.

Hi Malcolm,

The names of your checkboxes start with _ and have spaces in them e.g. name="_Western Cape" both of these are 'illegal' in ids and names, change them to e.g."western_cape"

You may want them to return an array of values rather then separate values for each checkbox - in that case change *all* the names in the checkbox group to name="branch[]" and put Branch offices {branch} in the email template.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the reply, as always, most efficient!

I have made a plan, the biggest problem was my names of the fields, as you said, with a couple of other "Bad" things, like a similar field name for different selections!! That is what happens if you compile using Wizard, and copy and past into the main form!

I don't think it will be a problem, give it a try, you can copy the form source from the source button, the next version will let you change fields names in wizard!
