Hi Ray,

Thanks yet again. You have been very helpful. Progress is being made. When things don't work, I fall back on shifting code around hoping to hit on something that does work with mixed results.

1. The checkboxes are now sticky. Per your suggestion, this is the code that worked:

Checkbox Field code:
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="bluexxs">
<label>
<input <?php if (!(strcmp((ValidatedField("regis","course1")),"course1"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> <?php echo(ValidatedField("regis","course1")) ?> name="course1" type="checkbox" id="course1" value="course1" />
</label>
</td>

However, I'm getting confused in the all the details. Do I need both php statements?
I would really appreciate help debugging the page. Is there a way to privately send you the link?

Even more Questions....
2. Email Field Question:
I used the email field and code from the WA contact form field. It does not seem to be set up to allow uppercase entrys; i.e. "MYNAME@THIS.COM" Validation balks at the ".COM" Is this the way the email validation works or is it the result of some screwball changes I made? What change where, do I need to make to create a more forgiving validation? I don't want someone to have to go back and reenter the email info just because they left the caps lock on. Or am I missing something?

Email Field code:
<tr>
<td colspan="4"><div align="right" class="formtext"><span class="star">*</span>Your
E-mail:</div></td>
<td colspan="3"><span id="sprytextfield2">
<label>
<input name="Email_Address" type="text" class="inputValue" id="Email_Address" onblur="if (document.getElementById('emailServerError')) document.getElementById('emailServerError').style.display='none'" value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("regis","Email_Address")) ?>" size="25" maxlength="35"/>
</label>
</span> </td>
<td colspan="7"><span class="textfieldRequiredMsg"><span class="error_message2">Please enter a valid email.</span><span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">Invalid format.</span></span>
<?php
if (ValidatedField("regis","regis")) {
if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("regis","regis").","), "," . "2" . ",") !== false || "2" == "")) {
if (!(false)) {
?>
<span id="emailServerError" class="textfieldServerError"><span class="error_message2">Please enter your email address so we<br />
may confirm your registration.</span></span>
<?php //WAFV_Conditional regis.php regis(2:)
}
}
}?></td>
</tr>

3. Phone Field Question:
I added a spry formatting hint to the Phone text field which is not a required field. Is there a way to prevent the hint text from submitting?

Phone Field code:
<tr>
<td colspan="4"><div align="right" class="formtext">Phone #:</div></td>
<td colspan="3"><span id="sprytextfield5">
<label>
<input name="Phone" type="text" class="inputValue" id="Phone" value="555-555-5555" onFocus="if(this.value=='555-555-5555')this.value='<?php echo(ValidatedField("regis","Phone")) ?>" size="12" maxlength="12" />
<span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg"><span class="error_message2">Example: 123-456-7890.</span></span></label>
</span></td>
<td colspan="6"><span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg"><span class="error_message2">Enter phone number as 555-555-5555.</span></span>
<?php
if (ValidatedField("regis","regis")) {
if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("regis","regis").","), "," . "8" . ",") !== false || "8" == "")) {
if (!(false)) {
?>
<span class="error_message2">Enter phone number as 555-555-5555.</span>
<?php //WAFV_Conditional regis.php regis(8:)
}
}
}?></td>
</tr>

4. Non-Required Fields:
The address fields are not required and can be submitted blank. I followed the example of the contact and email fields. The code works and the information passes to the email, but I'm unsure whether it's the correct way to do it. Should the target value for the "value=" be the php ValidatedField value?

Address field code:
<tr>
<td colspan="4"><div align="right" class="formtext">Address #1:</div></td>
<td colspan="3"><label>
<input name="Address1" type="text" class="inputValue" id="Address1" value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("regis","Address1")) ?>" size="25" maxlength="50" />
</label> </td>
<td colspan="7">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

5. I also still have my checkbox validation question still on the horizon but am trying to get the rest of the form in order before facing into that one. Thank you again for following up on all my long-winded questions and helping me sort out my confusion.
