My form returns check boxes but not field data.

jonnyroboto · November 6, 2009

I have a form that I've built for a client. Real simple form with name, email, phone, other, and comments text fields. I also have 8 check boxes on there too. When I send myself a test email, it is styled the way I'd like, but the text fields are not returning to the email, only the check boxes. Next to name in the email it's blank. What could be a miss?

Also, when I submit the form I'd like the Thank You page to open in a new window about 500px square with no scrolls, status, or resize.

Thank you
