My first booking form - am i missing something obvious??

[richyp]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have built my first website and it has a basic booking form on it which only half works!

 

When i test it, the information that is emailed back is fine from all the text boxes (Name/email/telephone/comments) but the radio buttons and drop-down box give me nothing - it's just blank!?

 

Try as i might i just can't get my head around it.  I used a code generator to come up with the form and then modified it to include the radio buttons etc. 

 

I would be so grateful if someone could take a look and see if they have an idea what might be going on.

 

Here's the HTML:

<div id = "ctable">

<form action="Booking.php" method="post">

<table width="615" border="0" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="8" summary="feedback form">

<tr><td width="169"><label for="tswname"><span class="style23">Name</span></label>

</td><td colspan="4"><input type="text" name="fullname" id="tswname" size="55" /></td></tr>

 

<tr><td height="49"><label for="tswemail">Email address</label>:</td><td colspan="4"><input type="text" id="tswemail" name="email" size="55" /></td></tr>

 

<tr><td><label for="tswtele">Telephone Number</label>:</td><td colspan="4"><input type= "text" id="tswtele" name="tele" size="55" /></td></tr>

 

 

 

<tr>

  <td width="169">Please select a day for your mock interview</td>

  <td width="107" height="34"><label for="tswthis"><input type="radio" name="radio" id="tswthis" value="this" />

  This week</label></td>

  <td width="101"> <label for="next"><input type="radio" name="radio" id="tswnext" value="next" />

  </label>

    Next week</td>

  <td width="134"><label for="tswday"><select name="Day Of The Week" id="select2">

    <option>Monday </option>

    <option>Tuesday</option>

    <option>Wednesday</option>

    <option>Thursday</option>

    <option>Friday</option>

    <option>Saturday</option>

    <option>Sunday</option>

  </select></label></td>

</tr>

<tr>

  <td width="169"><span class="style24"><span class="style23">Please select your time</span></span><span class="style25"> <br />

    (currently limited availability due to Graduate season</span><span class="style24">)</span></td>

  <td colspan="4"><label for="tswselect">

    <select name="select" id="select">

      <option>(weekend) 11:00 - 11:30</option>

      <option selected="selected">(weekend) 13:00 - 13:30</option>

      <option>(weekend) 14:00 - 14:30</option>

      <option>17:30 - 18:00</option>

      <option>18:00 - 18:30</option>

      <option>19:00 - 19:30</option>

      <option>19:30 - 20:00</option>

        </select>

  </label></td>

</tr>

<p>

<td colspan="5">

<label for="tswcomments">Name and description of role you are applying for</label>

<br />

<span class="style24">(The more information you can provide the better)</span><br />

  <textarea rows="15" cols="75" name="comments" id="tswcomments"></textarea>

Your drop down has a name of select yet I see no POST['select'] same for the radio button.

Yes you're right - problem solved! 

I have just this second finished testing it  again and it all works now.  Thanks for giving a very frustrated newbie a helping hand.
