Re: PHP errors - strange variables causing form corruption?

I just played with it for a few minutes. It worked fine for me, no problems. Keyed in 5d6-3 k2 and it kept rolling and not resetting. Are you using IE or some other browser? It could be a browser problem. Or you've fixed it since you've posted.
