One simple thing you can do is to try and use single quotes in the value attribute: <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="MailFrom" VALUE='#getDetail.FROM#'>
-----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 12:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: manipulating mail server / CFPOP variables... I am simply passing getdetail.FROM variable into the TO text box of a reply page, however the variables value is ie. "Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> so when getdetail.FROM is past to the reply page its value is showing up in the debugger as "Paul", is there a way I can pass just the email address? (whats in between the angle brackets?) Here are some snippets from my current code... <!---original page --> <FORM ACTION="reply.cfm" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="MailFrom" VALUE="#HTMLEditFormat(getDetail.FROM)#"> </FORM> <!---reply.cfm ---> TO: <INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="MailTo" VALUE="<cfoutput>#Form.MailFrom#</cfoutput>"> <!---END---> currently "> shows up directly beside the text box ">, however if I switch the value from Form.MailFrom, to say Form.userName (which is not originally coming from the mail server) then the variable displays properly? Any ideas? I appreciate the help. -Paul ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
