Problem with a form

snowfishin · Sep 11, 2003

I don't think it is the actual form that is causing the problem I think it is the computer.

Everytime I post to this form on this computer it always sends the same value in just one of the fields. Seven of the eight fields post correctly but, this one is always the exact same value? The form works fine on other computers. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What is the exact link to the form in question? What is the field that doesnt change?

You've assigned that field a value.

There is no value assigned to the field. Even when I enter a different value into the field it still comes up with this other value.

"Everytime I post to this form on this computer..."

Which form? which computer?

Give us a URL (preferably) or an excerpt of the HTML. Tell us about the computer that isn't working (PC or Mac? Windows/Linux? Browser?) and we might be able to help. Otherwise there isn't enough information to go on.

Try changing that bit of HTML to that value...
