Any hints would be appreciated

What exactly isn't working? One thing I see is you call a javascript function in the form, but I don't see the code for the function on the page or a link to a .js file.

I also see the action of the form is a .php file so if the problem is there we'll need to see that code.

Could yo describe a little more what the problem is. What is and isn't working in the form?

Hi

After checking 18 Checkboxes in Internet Explorer the form doesn't get submitted..
Weird.... so if you check 16, 17 or 18 boxes the form works ..but at 19 it doesnt.

Any Idea whats going on.

The PHP script I'm using I got from Hot scripts.
Heres the URL of the Script http://www.tectite.com/formmailpage.php

I did a new form taking out the Javascript I was calling but it wasnt there the new URL is http://www.dayspringdigital.com/reach/L2ISurvey5.htm

Maybe if the Whole world used firefox I wouldn't have these Problems
Any help would be GREAT!!!!

Thank you

Tony

I think that the use of radio buttons instead of checkboxes would be more effective in your form. As of now, I can check off both a "yes" and "no" on a yes/no type of question.

I agree with mgraphic. I hadn't really looked at what the form was about before, but it makes more sense to use radio buttons when it's an either or kind of choice.

I'm not sure what the problem you're seeing is, but I noticed a couple more things. I'm not sure why you have the onclick and onkeyup calls in the form tag. They really don't add anything to the form.

I'm also thinking the method of the form should probably be 'post' instead of 'get' but maybe that's what the php wants.

I Figured it out..
Instead of Having the Form Submit at the very end I had it
Submit in the Middle but changed the text in the submit box to "Continue"
And the PHP script re-directs to the new page ...The form part 2 and then that script re-directs to the thank you page...

Needed two PHP scripts but it works...Only problem is the end user gets two Thank yous...Oh Well at least they know I was thankful

I can use as many of the Check Boxes as I like....

Thank you for you help...

Best

Tony

Glad you were able to figure it out Tony. Sorry we weren't able to help find the extra 'submit' button, but sometimes finding it yourself is more satisfying anyway.
