Hello Monks,

I am having dificulties trying to pull the values from radio buttons in the html script below, with the my cgi script: 

<tr>
    <td><span class="category">Reporting Dashboard</span></td>
    <td><input type=text  size=18 name="dashboardUse" value=""></td>
    <td><span class="note"><input type=radio name="dashboard" id="dash
+board1" value="">1&nbsp;<input type=radio name="dashboard" id="dashbo
+ard2" value="">2&nbsp;<input type=radio name="dashboard" id="dashboar
+d3" value="">3&nbsp;<input type=radio name="dashboard" id="dashboard4
+" value="">4&nbsp;<input type=radio name="dashboard" id="dashboard5" 
+value="">5</span></td>
</tr>

The script runs with out error, and sends me the formatted email. However, I do not see the values for the radio buttons. Here is some of my code. I am not certain how to go about fixing this. In my script I have pointed to the parameter named "dashboard" where the value would be stored after a person clicks the button.

Any info would be welcomed. 

my ($reportingdashboard) = $main::cgi->param('dashboardUse');
        my ($satisfactiondash) = $main::cgi->param('dashboard');

Thanks again for all of your help.
