It was exactly that, stupid me. Put back the names, no more error (of course) for a missing "name" attribute, the page validates w3c xhtml, and my post variables are back! Thanks Jorn, sorry for the false alarm. If you're curious, the page is www.alu.com http://www.alu.com/en/contacts/index.php . In other pages (for example, the ones with a gallery) I also used your accordion with a trick to let the jcarousel carousel appear (it didn't worked, 'cause it was loading stuff via ajax in the carousel, but the carousel didn't want to update since it was inside a collapsed accordion item). Thanks again, bye Simone
