You can do this: structAppend(request, url, "false"); structAppend(request, form, "false");
to move everything from URL and FORM into the request scope if you'd like. Of course, that devalues the request scope to a fair degree. cheers, barneyb On 12/1/06, Brent Nicholas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > howdy all - > > I've got a question about scoping with the 'request' scope.
