    Hi,

    i´ve got to validate a set (or 5 single ones) of checkboxes with eForm 1.41 & modx 0.92, but no way. What´s going wrong, here´s my code:
     <input type="checkbox" value="checked" id="wf_AlleEingabezellen" name="Kontroll-Frage Nr.1"  eform="erste Checkbox::1"/>


    I tried everything i know and what´s written in the docu. Please Help, Alex

      Start by removing the spaces and dots in the name of your checkbox! At least make it Kontroll_Frage_nr_1 if you must use such a verbose naming.

      afaik spaces and periods are not allowed in the name attribute.

          Ok, next question.

          why eForm formats the content of this input-box always wrong like this:

          Input: 05119906565 - Result in E-Mail: 5,119,906,565

          Here the form-code i used:
          <input type="text" id="wf_Telefon" name="Telefon" value="" size="30" eform="Telefon-Nummer:integer:1" class="required" />


          Peace, Alex

            change your eform line to the following and it should come through fine:

            eform="Telefon-Nummer:text:1"
