I have this form. The problem I'm having is that I keep getting an Error if the form element "Card Type:" (the list/menu item) is named anything other than "select".
The section of code in question is contained within the *************.

You should be able to change it, as long as BOTH the red areas are exactly the same (Case Sensitive), and contain no spaces.You were correct, I must have had an extrainious character somewhere in my code. It works fine now. Thanks for the heads-up.
I just had the same problem and spent forever on it. Then I found out the name I was using was defined twice in the same script. DOH!
