Cannot bind validated Entries to text fields

Hi,

I've done this a thousand times before and it's always worked but ever since I removed Validation Toolkit and installed CSS Form Builder (also downloaded the fix and did that) I cannot for the life of me get the validated entries to bind to the text or comment fields. For example if I have three fields, name, email and comments and all are required. Let's say the visitor gets name and comments correct but makes a mistake with their email, when submitting, it's really annoying that although he/she gets alerted to the validation, their correct entries have vanished and they have to type them up again. Has anyone else run into this?

Here I've made a simple form as mentioned above and it's just not working... (the name of the page is test.php) Thank you in advance for any help.

<?php require_once("WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_ValidatedForm_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["contactbutton"])) {
$WAFV_Redirect = "";
$_SESSION['WAVT_test_553_Errors'] = "";
if ($WAFV_Redirect == "") {
$WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["name"]))?$_POST["name"]:"") . "",true,1);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateEM(((isset($_POST["email"]))?$_POST["email"]:"") . "",true,2);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["comments"]))?$_POST["comments"]:"") . "",true,3);

if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"test_553");
}
}
?>
