Mach II and whitespace

2004-06-03 Thread Pete Ruckelshaus - CFList

What, you mean it's returning c24 instead of nursing?Well, since that's what you're telling it to do, that's not surprising.If you want to return nursing you probably need to do something like this: cfinput type=Radio name=SelectedService value=c24,nursingNursingbr Followed by:
