I am not sure why dody coded it this way but he used <%variables%> in the add_form.html page as follows:

        <tr class="tbl_normal">
          <td>Url</td>
          <td><input class=text3 type=text name=url size=40 value="<%url%>"></td>
        </tr>

I would have used the following:

        <tr class="tbl_normal">
          <td>Url</td>
          <td><input class=text3 type=text name=url size=40 value="http://"></td>
        </tr>

He actually put it in the add.php at about line 74:

    if(empty($url)) $url = "http://";

It just doesn't make sense to add it there.

For your state you could use:

        <tr class="tbl_normal">
          <td>state</td>
          <td><input class=text3 type=text name=state size=2 value="NJ"></td>
        </tr>

update on the thread i got it to work a while ago, i guess the value feilds dont mean anything in the add forms.
just courious y dody put them in if its not needed???

actually, the value field does work and is quite valuable as a way to populate common information in the add_form file. However, most of them will be blank. which does not hurt anything and allows you to use the same html by a simple copy and paste into the modify_form ( or most of it, anyway ).
