Can anyone help me with this. Tested all major browsers and they all work apart from IE 9 & 10 as far as i can see.
It reports that none of the form elements have been selected even when they have. This could be IE all versions but i only have 9 & 10 to hand.
I could try and get them to direct their customers to use another browser but surely there is an easier fix or alternative?
I was able to submit a completely empty form with Safari here. Are you sure you have applied the Action correctly to the page and elements? I don’t see any of the hallmark code from the validation suite in your linked page.
Also, you really need to go through your form and police the names you have given to each field. 1. is not a valid form field name, because it won’t pass the ID test. An ID must begin with an alphabetical character or an underscore, it may never begin with a numeral or any other punctuation. Further, in case you were wondering, it may never contain a space. (I don’t see an example of that yet, but I haven’t really looked all that far in your form code.)

Sorry i’ve had to remove the validation suite for the moment.
Purely because my client has already sent this out for their customers to fill in.
The validation suite works absolutely fine in Safari, Firefox and chrome. But when in IE the javascript error pops up saying none of the required fields have been selected even when all the validated sections are chosen/filled in etc.
Duplicate the page and re-apply it as you did previously. Upload and send a link. This should be possible to diagnose. But I think you have a long slog of renaming form fields ahead of you. Make sure you use the Name field in the third tab of the Inspector. Nothing else will actually change the name attribute for the form field. question_1 is a valid name, 1. is not.

The value 1. etc worked fine.
The name field is not mandatory so i don’t want this to error if they don’t fill it in.
I will upload again in another directory with the validate suite applied so it doesn’t effect the live version.
You would only have to name it your_name or something similar (anything except name exactly) to skip the built-in PHP Feedback Form name validation. But if you won’t follow the rules of form construction, how can you reasonably expect all browsers to behave the same way when they encounter your form? Really. Read over the rules, they are few and they are absolute. Ignore them at your peril.
