certain form checkboxes not working

S

Steve

Here's the form
http://www.tcboutique.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=8

Questions 2, 6, 12 & 14:
- do not work when all boxes are checked
- they do work when not all boxes are checked, but it's possible a user may
need to check all boxes for one of those questions
- I tried placing all checkboxes for each question in the same cell...still
doesn't work

I'm using FP2003
I have other forms on this site as well, all created with FP2003, and they
all woirk well. For ex. -
http://www.tcboutique.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=7

I've lost many, many hours trying to figure this out...any help would be
greatly appreciated.

You can not have input fields (your "other") named the same as your check box fields
- each check box should have a unique (preferably short) name as in
name="_1_AWARE_TCB_SELLS_A"
name="_1_AWARE_TCB_SELLS_B"
name="_1_AWARE_TCB_SELLS_C"

Thank you kindly for that.

I -
- shortened the names for all checkboxes
- made each name unique

Now, each of those questions (2,6,12,14) works when selecting all boxes IF
each is the only question answered.

Example
- if all boxes for question 2 are selected, and question 2 is the only
question of those 4 that is answered, all is fine
- HOWEVER, if all boxes for both question 2 & 6 are selected (or for 12 &
14, or whatever combination of those 4 questions), the form will not work.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

I just discovered...the form works perfectly in Firefox. The problem is only
with IE.

Any suggestions?

Try removing the leading _ and moving the # to the end
AWARE_1A
AWARE_1B
