Have changed that Ray and there's no change. All of the fields are being wiped upon failure of the validation.
I've checked another form I have, an identical form in fact on another domain, and it uses:
value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("addnews_784","newsTITLE")) ?>"
...and it works fine.
I attach the page again, with the amendments I've made. I've changed all of the values to:
value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("WAVT_addnews_784_Errors","newsTITLE")) ?>"
I've also provided a link to this online, so you can check it in a live scenario.
Thank you.
