When a user forgets to select the category from the drop down when adding a link, the error message appears and the form is cleared.

Is this how it is suppose to work?

I know if you simply hit the back button you can retrieve everything that was input. In 2 years of running links I've never had a user complain about this until today. I have a very lengthy form so he was quite upset, didn't use his back button, and has to redo everything.

I'm just wondering if it's how the program works or if my form may be set up wrong.

You should have something like:

<%if some_field%>value="<%some_field%>"<%endif%>

....for all your fields so that on the error page the values will be inserted as detauls values.

Or;

value="<%if some_field%><%some_field%><%endif%>"

Thats what I normally use, and its the default syntax used in include_form.html

Paul,

Thanks. I remember now that I did have my form set up that way at 1 time.

Much appreciated.
