texte = All: I'm having problems getting Bob Minor's Validation Checker code to workon a form page I have, and would like to see if anyone using that code canhelp. Two main problems:1) If I limit the form to simple text inputs, it works as advertised andkicks the user back to the form page if they've not filled in a field with-rqf on the end, or entered an improper email address. However, it isn'treporting the # of errors nor is it retaining the values of theformvariables when it returns to the form.2) The form also normally has check boxes and radio buttons. It doesn't seemto work correctly with these, even if the form fields don't include an-rqf in the name. I don't think it likes the fact that some check boxesmay not be checked and thus won't have a value. I thought I'd tested withjust radio buttons (which share a field name and should work better) but nowI'm not sure.I know #1 should work, so I'd like to solve what might be going on therefirst. Then I can move on to #2 once that is settled... maybe what's brokenin #1 will fix #2.Thanks. I'm including Bob's message below.
