this shoud work. i don't see anything wrong with it. i've been using
integers for my value attributes. have you tired that just to see? lets
see, some other guesses. is the tag between <form> </form>? have you
jacked with the cgi code at all and inadvertently altered something?
that's all i can thing of off the top. "cb_phonelist" should work as the
hash index.
