Adam,

It means that the name attribute in the properties window isnt sticking when I save the html. So if I type something other than textbox1 in the name field (when I right click the control and click properties), it doesnt get saved. It just reverts to the original value which is something like textbox1 or radiobox1. DO you have any idea where the problem might be since I have the source code version 5.0. I see that it has been fixed in version 5.2 but I cant upgrade to that version. Also, how difficult is it to add a custom attribute like say, short name, to the properties window for radio boxes, checkboxes, drop downs, list boxes and text boxes? what places do I need to change the code in to make it work and save to the html. thanks for all your help/.
