Hi,

I got this form working, it collects and sends data just fine; however, there's one input box that refuses to work. I've analyzed it, recreated it, I just don't know what to do anymore. This is the code I have for the input box:

*********************************************************
<textarea name="journey" cols="60" rows="8" class="inputboxes" id="journey">
*********************************************************

The form is broken into three pages, this value is passed to the final page into an invisible field, such as:

**********************************************************
<input type="hidden" name="journey" value="<%= request.form("journey") %>">
**********************************************************

Then, lastly, I have the Mail.Body (Mail.Body=bodytxt) as such:

*********************************************************
bodytxt = bodytxt & "--------------------" & vbcrlf
bodytxt = bodytxt & "Describe your spiritual journey." & vbcrlf
bodytxt = bodytxt & "--------------------" & vbcrlf
bodytxt = bodytxt & "Description: " & journey & vbcrlf
**********************************************************

Still, I receive all the other information from the form except the data from "journey".

The actual form can be found at:

The actual code to the forms can be found at:
http://www.blitzdesign.net/proto/form1.htm" target=_new>http://www.blitzdesign.net/proto/form1.htm
http://www.blitzdesign.net/proto/form2.htm" target=_new>http://www.blitzdesign.net/proto/form2.htm
http://www.blitzdesign.net/proto/form3.htm" target=_new>http://www.blitzdesign.net/proto/form3.htm

Thanks in advance for your help.

Remove the bit I highlighted in red and see if it works (I don't think the ID is alowed to be the same as the name).
