anyone? the submit button sends a value but none of the rest does.

it validates but i'm not too hot in labels and their effect on the working of the form.

<form id="registrationform" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/formTest.pl">

<p>
  <label for="firstname">Firstname:  
  <input type="text" id="firstname" />
  </label>
</p>
<p><label for="surname">Surname:  <input type="text" id="surname"  /></label></p>
<p>
  <label for="preferedname">Preferred Name:  
  <input type="text" id="preferedname" />
  </label>
</p>
<p><label for="email">Email:  <input type="text" id="email" /></label></p>
<p>
  <label for="password">Password:  
  <input type="text" id="password" />
  </label>
</p>
<p><label for="contactnumber">Contact number:  <input type="text" id="contactnumber" /></label></p>

<h3>Optional Information</h3>

<p><label for="country">Country:  <input type="text" id="country" tabindex="7" /></label></p>
<p>
  <label for="preferedlanguage">Preferred language:  
  <input type="text" id="preferedlanguage" />
  </label>
</p>
<p>
  <label for="age">Age range: 
  <select id="age">
    <option value="">Select</option>
    <option value="Under 16">-16</option>
    <option value="17-21">17-21</option>
    <option value="22-28">22-28</option>
    <option value="29-35">29-35</option>
    <option value="35+">35+</option>
  </select> 
  </label>
</p>
<p><input type="submit" class="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></p>
</form>

The label is a user thing. It doesn't effect the workings of the form if used correctly - and you said it validates.

[smallbeer]

you have to have name's as well as id's, ie

<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" />

[Brown]

ok. lemme try just id's.

[Brown]

hang on, i can't read proper today (tuesday night treats ).

will add names now. for some reason i thought names were invalid.

[Stickman]

You need the id's for the labels. Smallbeer is saying that the form needs names.
