Dan, I wasn't talking about a CF variable. I was talking
about a variable in the form that jqcf is using.
/page.cfm/var1.valueofvar1-var2.valueofvar2-var3.valueofvar3
If var1's name wasn't var1, but was, for sake of argument,
"my-var", then the URL becomes:
/page.cfm/my-var.valueofmyvar-var2.valueofvar2-var3.valueofvar3
Now all of a sudden you can't use "-" as a delimiter between
your variable.value pairs.
I know CF doesn't support variable names with dashes. Doesn't
mean you can't use them elsewhere. Your form field names can
include dashes, URL variables can include dashes, etc.
If you do have a URL variable with a dash in it, you can
access it as:
URL['my-var']
I was simply saying that putting variables in the URL the way
jqcf is asking about seems very fragile to me. The dash in a
variable name was just an example. The method he's using, his
variable values can't have any dashes or periods in them
either.
