This forum is slowly becoming my new best friend... 🙂
This is probably one of the most simplest of tasks, but apparently I can't figure it out. On error I want my form to remember the values that the visitor typed. The drop down menu I have remembers it's status, the rest of the fields don't.
Can someone provide an example?
Here is the code that displays the form:
