In your real code, are the quotation marks missing from your input, select, and option tags? It may help to submit the script output (IOW, the HTML as the browser sees it) to an HTML validator. Other than that, it might help to show what code you're using to check that the variables have been passed. Perhaps the problem lies somewhere in the "receiving" script instead of the posting one...? -- CC
