Subject: Re:form variables not passed to action page - please help!
I'm assigning the form field values to hidden variables because it is a 4
pages form and I am passing the values from one page to another in hidden
variables. I have chceked the code in both the action pages, they both have
the same code, I just don't understand what's happenning here, I've turned
debugging on. One another thing I've noticed is if I remove the "id"
attribute from the text input fields, I get a _javascript_ error when
submitting the form (form variable FirstName is not undefined). I thought
the "id" attribute was optional. Any ideas?
