Adding enctype="text/plain" makes it work for me.
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/form.html

The first couple of fields lacks the name attribute and they have some peculiar construct with questionmarks at the end.

CODE

<input id="element_1_1" class="element text" maxlength="255" size ="8" ?element_1_1?>
                                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Also, the layout doesn't work too well in my a little older gecko browser (not that many versions behind FF). Adding a doctype that triggers Standards Mode takes care of that. Typically you don't want Quirks Mode, especially not with CSS, and that's what you get with no doctype at all.

More about that here: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ .

awsome.....i just get so confused when doing half the coding myself and the other half generated.....i was trying to be lazy and use a form generator and then edit the code later...but now i wasted the time that i thought i would save by dealing with this issue....

thank you for your help
