Do you want a default Value in there? Thats what It sounds like... but here:

Email: <input type="text" name="email" value="Whatever@something.com" size="20">

I really hope that is what you meant. chuckles

no that would be too easy...

im trying to put a value on the form (dynamic)

shrugs i don't understand, put a value in the form dynamically, what value...?!? You can submit, and then insert it into the db, then reget it... or just put it back with a variable into the value field, but otherwise explain.
