You might need to keep that nickel Bill (: I've removed all the :size elements from the form and validated the page XHTML strict using W3C's validator.
Yet, the values are not displayed. The values are in the HTML, just not being displayed in the text boxes and text area for some reason. On a related note, I have a drop down and it's value IS set to the object's attribute.
