Jimmy,
Thanks for your response. Im having a little trouble understanding how to structure the shorthand if/then/else within a value=""
Currently i have either below (loads init val from the registered users profile)
value="<?php echo $row_rsUser['firstName']; ?>"
or (loads from validated entries rs on page reload)
value="<?php echo(ValidatedField("confirm_386","firstName")) ?>"
I'm attempting to combine the two into an if/then:
Based on your instructions
<conditional statement>?<if condition is true>:<if condition is false>
value="<?php if ( $row_rsUser['firstName'] != )?>?<?php echo $row_rsUser['firstName']; ?>:<?php echo(ValidatedField("confirm_386","firstName")) ?>"
Is that correct?
