my form is working fine except for the text area. when I get the filled out form emailed to me, where the text area is, it says:

Comments
{Comments}

I don't even have the word "Comments" in my HTML code... Please help

Hi stateofmusic,

Hard to say anything without more info. You could just edit the Email Template?

I used the form wizard. The entire code for my form looks like this:
<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_heading">
    <h2 class="cf_text">General Inquiries</h2> <hr>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Name</label>
    <input class="cf_inputbox required" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_1" name="Name" type="text" />
  
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">
    <label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">Phone </label>
    <input class="cf_inputbox" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_0" name="Phone" type="text" />
  
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_textbox">

  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<div class="form_item">

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi stateofmusic,

My guess would be that that big white space is where the Comments textarea was once up on a time.

As I said before, you'll need to edit the Email Template to remove it from there too.
