When you output the form again, output it with the values that were sent to you (take care about deliberate injection though) For things like select lists, I find I end up creating these from an array in PHP anyway, so it's easy to loop through the array and set the selected attribute if that's the value that was picked. Checkboxes and radio buttons; if the value has been sent by the user, then mark them checked when you output the html for them. Don't fill password boxes, as that confuses the user. If they mistyped, how do they know what value it holds anyway? Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
