Thank you for your time. > I've got a cool system that I made for www.pnicorp.com's shopping cart. It hides the shipping address if you check the checkbox. If you need some JS help, let me know. However, it doesn't use QF. So you're using QF and I assume you're doing client side validation? I would suggest making the billing address fields client rules, then make the shipping address required rules server-only. If the form gets submitted with "same as" checked, you can either: 1) Just don't add the required rules. Do something like this: if (!isset($_POST['submitted']) || !$_POST['sameAs']) { //set up billing required rules } This has to be before the validation call, of course. 2) Before validation, if the "same as" box is checked, copy the billing values into the shipping fields if (isset($_POST['submitted'] && $_POST['sameAs'])) { $_POST['shippingAddr'] = $_POST['billingAddr']; } -- paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
