I took a working form I have here: http://dancematrix.net/files/register.htm and put it on a wordpress site here: http://virtualgeorge.net/register/ Now after making some changes I screwed it up and I can't get the validation to work for the required fields. Maybe someone can view the code and see what I did or suggest a better way to do this? thanks!!!
Well... that original is a gibberish mess -- table for nothing, tables inside tables for nothing, DIV for nothing, list for nothing, LI without any corresponding UL, empty LABELs, endless pointless classes for nothing, no FOR attributes on the LABEL, no FIELDSETs, non-breaking spaces doing padding's job, vertical breaks doing border's job, inconsistent or even nonexistant quotes around attribute values... and that's before talking the massive validation script that kind-of misses the point of using scripting in the first place or nonsense like the stupid malfing adobe mm_ scripting doing CSS' job. Though the first line alone explains a lot -- transitional, which is to say in transition from 1997 to 1998 coding practices. Quite literally that's what "transitional" in a DOCTYPE means! Integrating it into the steaming pile known as turdpress? YIKES! Basically you've got 48k of markup for 11k of plaintext and two dozen form elements -- anywhere from two to three times as much code as should have been used for something so simple. I'm on the way to dreamland right now, but when I get up I'll see if I can spare the time to do a rewrite for you of the original to address all those problems, with a bit more versatile (and smaller) a script... fixing all those issues and getting the scripting sorted should make WP integration easier... Though again given what absolute rubbish turdpress is shoving certain bits of bad markup down your gullet...
