Cbirds,

- because they all have the same name - you only use that format for an
option set. The last one clicked is submitted. Try volunteer1, volunteer2
etc.

>In HTML I have always been able to get checkboxes to yield
multiple answers, that is, the user can select all three. There are no
others. Why am I only getting ONE answer back in the mailform
when coded thusly?

<.input type="checkbox" name="volunteer" value="Signs">Signs
<.input type="checkbox" name="volunteer" value="Literature">Literature
<.input type="checkbox" name="volunteer" value="Coffees">Coffees
