Very Odd Form problem [Resolved]

**ober0330** · Feb 10th, 2005, 11:13 AM

I have a form that has multiple elements on it. When you change any of the select boxes, it reloads the page and changes a few of the other elements.

One of these changes is to show a table with some text boxes in it. If this is the last task that is performed before the form is submitted, those dynamically created (using PHP) text boxes and their values do not get submitted with the rest of the form. It's like those text boxes aren't even there, but I can change their values and type in them and they are physically (or digitally) there.

Does anyone know what is going on here?

Can you post the outputted HTML?

This is "post-dynamic-creation" and I've removed most of the options in the select boxes just to decrease the size:

FSCK. Nevermind. I found the problem. I validated the page with the dynamic boxes on there and found that I opened a quote on the "type" field and never closed it.

I fixed that and "wala".
