There is a bit of a problem with your form code here. You correctly use for
in the <label> tag but the for="name" must be the same as the id="name" in
the <input> tag. In your snippet below, you have for="Name" and
id="cadName".

It also appears that you are using XHTML because of the /> at the end of
<input />. Starting with XHTML 1.0, the name attribute has been deprecated
in favour of the id attribute. It is commonly recommeded that you use both
for older browser support so they should be the same: name="x" id="x".

HTH,

Jules
