If you really wish, then fine I will prepare a bigger script however the primary issue is not the form but the data for seeding the form. The scriptlet shows the creation of a form variable and the variety of means of supplying data to it.For some reason #1 is given a value but when checked = ? it is blank, yet the variable is reset with #2 and displayed but then it is showing the value of #1.. I can not rely on the value being there when it is suposed to be ... or so it seems.
