Try disabling your stylesheet and see if they reappear... If you're using a CSS reset, sometimes the borders that define the input boxes are styled as borderless.

nope disableing css didn't work, the only way i can get it to show up is by removing the whole top php section  :blink:

Hi there.  Are you saving the page as a php page?  Remember, you can only view a page if you are running a local server through something like xampp.

Looking at things on my pc, the following appears to be the problem:

Code: [Select]
print '<h1> Please Register To Continue </h1>';
print '<style type="text/css"
      media="screen>
      .error { color: red; }
      </style>';
If you remove that, the form then shows up, otherwise only the -h1- content appears.

What browser are you checking this in?
It works for me in ff3 and Safari 3 (mac) but not Opera 10. 

I found the problem.....


Your comment looks like this <!--  ...   --!> but it should look like this <!-- --> without the second exclamation mark.  Remove it, and your form will appear.

Straight away I can see you have a missing " from media="screen> I would assume that is why the display fails.

I wouldn't use print either, echo is much better.
