Are your check boxes > required? Is the script breaking or the redirect?Bob: although I thought I'd read that there was a 255 character limit when redirecting, I copied and pasted some of the redirected URLs and they were waaaay over 255, even before adding in all of the check boxes. And it's working. So I'm not sure what's going on there.I converted the form a bit at a time, adding the relevant code to each set of radio buttons (I'm not requiring the check boxes), then trying the validation by leaving out a field. All worked perfectly until (of course) I added the last set of radio buttons. Then, strangely, the validation code reports an error with the email address not being valid (error=3&mailerror=1) although it in fact a valid email address.I will continue to play with it. I still have to add the code to set the required radio buttons to value=: maybe somehow that will fix the other strange problem.Thanks again. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
