Ok as one helpful member already knows(you know who you are) my setup is the following.

GoDaddy and Dreamweaver 8

I have a form which consists of multiple fill in the blank text fields and several drag down menu options for the clients to fill out.

Yet when I fill out this information(say 20 questions in total)

I receive via e-mail only 5 answers in total.

Yet these answers are nowhere near whats been inputted by the user.

Example

Whats you cell phone number? - 555-555-5555

I get - E

Heh. Why?!?

Here is the code that I have for the questionnaire

Probably something to do with not closing the <input> tags. It's worth validating your page if your having problems - at present you're showing 157 validation errors - although most are simply use of <id> when you want <class>

Have a look at this:
and come back if you're still having problems when your page validates

Im sure that would be helpful to someone that knows what all that means. But 10 minutes of looking at it just gave me one heck of a headache. Anyone able to dumb it down for me?

Validating is always good, but for starters I would first go back and give each textbox a different name, and the "Select" boxes a valid name without spaces. Don't know how I missed that back in the other thread.

In case:

Code: 
<div id="textboxwrapper" style="overflow:hidden; width:300px; border:0px solid #FFFFFF;"><span id="label" style="float:left;">Address</span><span id="textbox" style="float:right;"><input type=text name="[red]addy[/red]"></span></div>

and

Code: 
<div id="textboxwrapper" style="overflow:hidden; width:300px; border:0px solid #FFFFFF;"><span id="label" style="float:left;">City, State, Zip</span><span id="textbox" style="float:right;"><input type=text name="[red]cty[/red]"></span></div>
etc..

and

<select name="a_valid_name_no_spaces">...

etc...
