All of your text fields for student names have the same name value.

Thanks, I'll fix it . . .I wondered bout that.

But what about the grade drop down--not getting any of it

and only the first item checked on each checkbox group is comming through

Your select fields don't have any names, and the options don't have any values. The select fields and corresponding options should look like:


<select name="gradeFirst">
<option>Grade</option>
<option value="1st">1st</option>
<option value="2nd">2nd</option>
<option value="3rd">3rd</option>
<option value="4th">4th</option>
<option value="5th">5th</option>
<option value="6th">6th</option>
<option value="7th">7th</option>
<option value="8th">8th</option>
<option value="9th">9th</option>
</select>

The checkboxes should have different names but the same values. They should look like:


<input type="checkbox" name="Discoverers" value="1stclass" /> Discoverers
<input type="checkbox" name="Investigators" value="1stclass" /> Investigators
<input type="checkbox" name="Researchers" value="1stclass" /> Researchers

Thank you, but the checkboxes are still not working. They are now sending the "1stclass" "2ndclass" as the titles instead of Discoverers etc. and then ofcourse not sending more than one selection. Here is an example of the info that comes to my mail:

Your MonsterMail form has been completed, following are the results:

Third Student Name Bill

Fourth Student Name John

And here is my script again with your changes

Just an obversation, but wouldn't you want the Discoverers/Investigators/Researchers sections to be radio buttons? (Or are the allowed to pick multiple classes?)

[sjlplat]

I think the checkbox issue might be a problem with Monstermail itself. I'm not sure if it loops through each group array or not. Your might try using unique names and values for each one.


<input type="checkbox" name="1stClassDiscoverers" value="1stClassDiscoverers" /> Discoverers
<input type="checkbox" name="1stClassInvestigators" value="1stClassInvestigators" /> Investigators
<input type="checkbox" name="1stClassResearchers" value="1stClassResearchers" /> Researchers

You can see an example of how it's supposed to work at http://catcode.com/formguide/checkbox.html
