Field result is empty on confirmation page after submit is clicked

When I click submit for my web page form, the confirmation page is
shown. One of the fields which has data is blank on the confirmation
page.

This is probably because I replaced the text field in the form and put
in a new one yet the old field name still shows up in places in the
html code.

How can I make sure where the verification page is getting its
information and change the name of the textbox field that it is
showing in the verification page? Of course, when the email is sent
with the data from the form, it is showing the blank also.

Thank you.

Please give a link to the form page.

My boss won't allow that since it's not a public site. I'm just
trying to update a page that was written by someone who left.

Can you answer the general question of where to find in the code what
fields are being pulled to the confirmation page?

Thank you.

The fields between the <form and </form> tags. Unless some are
omitted by changing the form properties.
It also depends on
a) if the form is processed by FrontPage extensions or by a custom
server side script - PHP, ASP, asp.NET
b) whether it is a custom confirmation page, or the default confirmation
page (fp extensions)

If emails are also getting the wrong fields, then it sounds like the
fields have not been removed from the form (hidden fields, perhaps?) or
a custom script is being used - see the action in the form tag -
<form action="scriptname.asp" ...> for example.

If you can post a section of the form (including the complete <form tag)
we can give a better answer, without guessing.
