You have to keep the input field and its name (email) because it's also the name of the form parameter. So, what you probably need to do (I didn't try it) is to change: identity.addLabel(T_email_address); identity.addItem(email); to something like this identity.addLabel(T_email_address); if (email == null) { // well, either null or an empty string, not sure identity.addItem("[email protected]"); } else { identity.addItem(email); } Regards, ~~helix84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
