Confirmation page not retaining all data on edit

I have set up a fairly simple form in 4.0 RC3.5.1 on Joomla 2.5.8. I followed the FAQ for creating a form with a confirmation page.

When I click to review data on the confirmation page, all input data is present. If I click back to edit, not all form field data is retained. A couple of drop downs and a couple of text boxes are empty. All other fields (about a dozen) are retained correctly.

I can re-enter the missing data, then click-through to submit and all is sent via email. The failure happens only when I click back to edit.

I have tested in a couple of browsers and it is always the same fields that are blank.

Hi ShoestringWebs,

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi ShoestringWebs ,

The select drop-downs have no value set if you look at the HTML so they will not submit anything and are correctly re-setting to the first option with value=""

The text inputs that are left blank look as though they are missing the type='text' attribute so my guess is that makes them illegal HTML and so ignored on the reload.

You were correct. The form was some five or six-year-old code that I copied from an old site.

Thank you very much for the quick response.
