Get values for Radio/Checkboxes outputted to email? - coldfusion

Question

Heres my code:
<cfparam name='form.firstName' Default=''>
<cfparam name='form.yes' Default=''>
<cfparam name='form.no' Default=''>
<cfparam name='form.clean' Default=''>
<cfparam name='form.light' Default=''>
<cfparam name='form.heavy' Default=''>
<cfparam name='form.superheavy' Default=''>
<label for="firstName">Guest Access:</label>
<input type="textbox" name="firstName" value="#form.firstName#">
<label for="allkeysaccountedfor">All keys are accounted for?:</label>
<select>
<option value="#form.yes#" name="yes">Yes</option>
<option value="#form.no#" name="no">No</option>
</select>
<label for="unitcondition">Unit Condition?:</label>
<input type="radio" name="clean" value="#form.clean#"><span>Clean</span>
<input type="radio" name="light" value="#form.light#"><span>Light</span>
<input type="radio" name="heavy" value="#form.heavy#"><span>Heavy</span>
<input type="radio" name="superheavy" value="#form.superheavy#"><span>SuperHeavy</span>
When I submit the form, I get an email returning what I put into the text box, but when I check yes or no or select an option for the radio button, nothing gets returned in the email. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!

You're setting name attributes in your options for the select and radio buttons. I would instead try setting it to the parent element like this:
<cfparam name='form.firstName' default=''>
<cfparam name='form.allkeysaccountedfor' default=''>
<cfparam name='form.unitcondition' default=''>
<label for="firstName">Guest Access:</label>
<input type="textbox" id="firstName" name="firstName" value="#form.firstName#">
<label for="allkeysaccountedfor">All keys are accounted for?:</label>
<select name="allkeysaccountedfor" id="allkeysaccountedfor">
<option value="yes" <cfif allkeysaccountedfor eq "yes">selected</cfif>>Yes</option>
<option value="no" [[do the same for no here]] >No</option>
</select>
<label for="unitcondition" id="unitcondition">Unit Condition?:</label>
<input type="radio" name="unitcondition" value="clean" <cfif unitcondition eq "clean">checked</cfif>><span>Clean</span>
<input type="radio" name="unitcondition" value="light" [[do the same for this value]] ><span>Light</span>
<input type="radio" name="unitcondition" value="heavy" [[do the same for this value]] ><span>Heavy</span>
<input type="radio" name="unitcondition" value="superheavy" [[do the same for this value]] ><span>SuperHeavy</span>
Then, in your email, I would look for the 3 form variables above. Also note that I added "id's" to your HTML elements. That's because the "for" attribute in the label specifies which form element a label is bound to and uses the "id" attribute to do that.
