CategoryID (Invalid format)
I keep getting the following error message via the add.cgi script.

Code:

* CategoryID (Invalid format)


I searched the forums and also pugdog's FAQ site and could not find any solutions.

The valid expression column for CategoryID in the Validate.def file look okay to me.

Here is what my CategoryID field looks like in the Validate.def file:

Code:

CategoryID => ['7', 'INT', '10', '20', '1', '0', '^\d*\.?\d*$'],


And here is the codes for the CategoryID field in the add_failure screen:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="CategoryID" value="24">


This looks okay to me as well.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Eliot

Yea...I just deleted the values in the valid expression column in all the .def files (Links and Validate). Shouldn't hurt any since the IDs are added in the correct format.
