Setting a hiddle variable to a url variable.

[Newsgroup_User]

Why isn't this working? It works fine pulling it for text on the document,
but it wont register for the hidden variable.

I tried:
<input name="rotty" type="hidden" id="rotty"
value="<cfoutput>#url.name#</cfoutput>" />
and
<input name="rotty" type="hidden" id="rotty" value="#url.name#" />


Help.

Are you absolutely sure url.name has a value at this time?

Yes, I also use that variable in text on the page. It appears fine.

Is anything setting or clearing the value after it is output? If you
look at the source does the hidden field value property have anything in
it? A bit of code might help further diagnosis.

Wally, Please post the code as well as the resulting HTML output from the browser.

If the browser is displaying the page, then url.name is defned, just reset to "".

If the browser displays an error on url.name, then the value isn't in the url scope, or the scope has been deleted somehow.

Seeing the code will help us to help you.

The second one should be <cfoutput><input name="rotty" type="hidden" id="rotty" value="#url.name#" /></cfoutput>. Make sure url.name exists and that there are no nested cfoutput tags, that is, no cfoutput tag within a cfoutput tag.
