I am working on a chronoform installation that was setup by another company. The form seems to work fine in Firefox, but when run in IE7 the form begins to say that fields are required even when they are not. You can see the problem by beginning the form here:

None of these fields are actually required, but Chronoforms say they are anyway. When you click through to the second page of the form some of the drop down menus even disappear completely. Works perfectly in Firefox just not in IE. Any Suggestions?

Hi beatatype,

Hmmm . . . on that first page all but the name fields are marked as required - the problem is that the validation isn't working in FireFox. If you look at the form without the template here you'll see that the validation works OK (though it may not be what you want).

Unfortunately Firebug isn't showing any JavaScript errors so I'm not sure what is causing the problem.

Hi beatatype & Bob,
It would actually seem as if only the two first inputs are actually part of the form to start with. I'd recommend you start by checking the Form Code for any <form> and/or </form> tags - these should not be present, since chronoforms will add these on it's own when rendering the page.

Updated,
Downloaded the form source using a non-parsing browser (lynx), rather than checking the source using Firebug. The first thing that stands out are unbalanced div-tags, which is probably why Firefox close the form prematurely, while IE is... "more forgiving". At a first glace, it appears the form was initially created using the Form Wizard in 3.0, then manually edited to include additional fields, unfortunately messing up some of the div-tags..
