I have used radio buttons often in the past, but now I am having problems.
Please, someone, look at this simple code and tell me where I am going
wrong. I cannot retrieve the posted value of gender when I click either
button (male or female)
I have tried (in desperation)
1 - removing the target statement on the form.
2 - adding [] to become name="gender[]".
3 - changing the values to 1 and 2.
Nothing is working. It must be something extremely simple and obvious, but
I just can't see it.
This has worked for me many times in the past. Does anyone see ANYTHING?
The complete code is below between the "******" lines, and can be cut and
pasted.
