Well, the issue was with my function name not the form. I changed my

Then how is $F() any different than $()?
Also, any idea why I can't get my form to submit. I have been all over
Google and can't figure it out.

Try giving your form elements IDs to match their NAME property. I have
always needed the ID to be set in order to get a value out of $F.
