You need to set the default value of each input box to the the $_POST
value that was submitted.

You have...

> <input type="text" id="usrName" name="usrName"
> tabindex="002" size="30" maxlength="60">



What you need is

<input type="text" id="usrName" name="usrName"
tabindex="002" size="30" maxlength="60" value =
$_POST[usrName]>

REMEMBER!!!!

When outputting text via PHP's Print command, only variables contained
in double quotes will be converted to their values.

So if your PHP code looks like this....

Print '<input type="text" id="usrName" name="usrName" tabindex="002"
size="30" maxlength="60" value = $_POST[usrName]>';

The default value will show as "$_POST[usrName]" rather than the value
of $_POST[usrName].

Either swap the quotes over:
Print "<input type='text' id='usrName' name='usrName' tabindex='002'
size='30' maxlength='60' value = $_POST[usrName]>";

or force the quotes with the escape character

Print "<input type=\"text\" id=\"usrName\" name=\"usrName\"
tabindex=\"002\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"60\" value =
$_POST[usrName]>";

or drop them altogether

Print '<input type=text id=usrName name=usrName tabindex=002 size=30
maxlength=60 value = $_POST[usrName]>';

You only really need them if your values have spaces in them (an to be
WCC compliant of course...)
