I wrote a rather large survey form (the largest I've ever written) and after creating the table, am finding that only some fields are being captured. many are not. this is true both of the automatic e-mail that's sent (it's set to FIELD, not a custom e-mail template), and looking in the backend at the saved data. any ideas why this would be the case? i've double-checked for typos.
it would take too long to list the fields that do/don't work, but you can see it below. the first field that is not working right is "fld studio light". also none of the last 7 fields ("mon avail" "tues avail" etc.) are working.
are there any immediate things i should check to get this form working properly?
i've included the form code below. everything else is pretty much set to default.
and this is the email result i get. i didn't bother manually making a selection for most of the pulldown menus, but i did type bogus info in all of the fields, which works for "name2" but doesn't work for any of the others.
HELP!
