Yeah this is apparently the fix... Explains why it works on the live site.. can't figure out WHY it's not working on the dev site..

Okay.. so in doing some more testing/messing about, I found that a bit of javascript I put in place as a bandaid solution for an unrelated issue was the problem.. Once I removed it, all was well again.. Thanks to Stevesh for the "nudge"..

Now I have to figure out where that annoying closing PHP tag is coming from on this page.. It's on the live site too..

See what happens when you go to sleep?? You miss all the fun!!! Found and killed the closing PHP tag.. turns out this came from the password confirmation module.. One of the included JS files had this stray ?> at the end of the file..

Got my issues all worked out.. Once I got rid of the stray PHP closing tag, removed a bit of javascript I was using to solve an unrelated issue, and added the CSS bits stevesh pointed out, all was right with the create account page..

Though you missed most of the action, thanks for jumping in here to help!!! Your willingness to help is appreciated! I can always count on the Zen Cart community when I need a "second set of eyes"..

Was that stray php tag an inherent bug or just wayward editing?

The country on the account create IMHO should appear before the state dropdown selector since the states change based on the country selected. It makes no sense when using the state dropdown that country appears AFTER the state.. So I want to move it so that country is selected BEFORE choosing a state and improve the usability/logic of this form.

Absolutely, I implemented this a very long time ago and also remember struggling to get it to work.
Since then I've also used the js to put country-dependent error-checking and info messages on the postcode field since sometimes customers don't seem to know their own countries correct format!
Sorry I didn't see this thread until you had fixed it!

It was an erroneous closing PHP tag included in the email confirmation module..
