Hi, We are getting errors when trying to vaildate our HTML due to the [ character when using Post Arrays: Line 173, Column 65:

Še="filters[calling_url]" id="filters[calling_url]" value="categories-bulk-ear Does anyone know of a way around this? Thanks

Don't use [] in an ID - it doesn't belong there. If you are not using the ID for a hook, just drop it - the ID doesn't need to be there. The name attribute is where you want the [] to post an array, ID does not get sent in a post.

Correction -- name is Ok and where you should put the []. The demo is here: http://www.webbytedd.com/bbb/check-box-form/ It works, shows why and how you can use [] and it validates. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
