I don't see any HTML. I assume the part that says "Name GenderMaleFemale" was HTML code but you didn't wrap it in code tags. It's hard to say what's happening without seeing the HTML.
The only advice I can give is to use IDs instead of running through the names of the elements. It always seems easier to me to assign each element (where appropriate) an ID and then use document.getElementById("id_of_element") to reference it. That's all I can really advise without seeing the HTML.
I have enabled your validation function and enabled some labels and stuff (see attached)
BTW I looked for a "textarea" and could not find the HTML tag - you are sending the content as innerHTML to a div, which is fine, but it ain't a "textarea"
another useful technique is to write the form values to a flat .js file that can then be read back into the page - using PHP file functions. It's a little more advanced, but lets you store and retrieve the form input.
I plan to post it as a project soon (actually, it was part of a project to create a scrollable div - without scrollbars - that contains event listings that can be managed from a form-based mini-cms)
Thank you for your reply and the attachment. It makes more sense now how to get the array working. thank you.
Yes, opps sorry i somehow missed the textarea html code...not sure how. But now that I know how to display the radio button value I'll give the textarea a go myself. If not, I'll post my problem again.
thanks
