fwrite() and fread()

Once again, I'm struggling with writing into my binary file!!
I've got one funtion to enter employee info... Thanks to Prelude I actually got to this funtion, but then I stuck AGAIN!!

Code:

void newEmployee(EMP emp, FILE * empfPtr) {
  int i_temp;
  char s_temp[MAXLEN];
  float f_temp = 0;

  printf ("Enter new employee ID no.:");
  scanf("%d", &i_temp);
  printf("%d", i_temp);
  validateID(i_temp, emp, empfPtr);
  emp.ID = i_temp;
  fscanf(stdin, "%d", emp.ID);
  fseek(empfPtr, (emp.ID-1)*sizeof(EMP), SEEK_SET);

  puts("Enter employee last name:");
  scanf("%s", emp.last_name);
  upperCase(emp.last_name);
  fputs(emp.last_name, stdin);

  puts("Enter employee first name:");
  scanf("%s", emp.first_name);
  upperCase(emp.first_name);
  fputs(emp.first_name, stdin);

  puts("Enter employee department:");
  scanf("%s", s_temp);
  upperCase(s_temp);
  validateDept(s_temp);
  strcpy(emp.dept, s_temp);
  fputs(emp.dept, stdin);

  puts("Enter employee salary:");
  scanf("%f", &f_temp);
  validateSalary(f_temp);
  emp.salary = f_temp;
  fscanf(stdin, "%d", emp.salary);

  fwrite(&emp, sizeof(EMP), 1, empfPtr);

  puts("Next command (0 to print menu): ");
  return;
}

The printf() at line 7 is just a test, but this doesn't even work!!

What doesn't work? Compiling errors? Logical errors?

Are you checking if the file opens correctly?
Are you aware that any changes you do to the Emp variable you pass to the function will only be local in this function?

The program compiles fine
what happens is, when I get to the newEmployee() funtion, it asks for the ID No., and after I enter it, it doesn't go to the next part (last name, first name, etc.)
I enter a 1 (or whatever number) as an ID No. and it creates a newline, but nothing else

You know.....
I don't really know!!!

Code:

fscanf(stdin, "%d", emp.salary); -> scanf("%d", &emp.salary);

Code:

  ...
  fputs(emp.first_name, stdin);
  ...
  fputs(emp.dept, stdin);
  ...

why are you attempting to write to a read-only stream?

Once again, Monster and moi:
I don't know what I was doing there!! the fscanf() and fputs() are gone...
