Hi,
I hope the answer is as obvious as I think it is. You are using cold fusion
notation within an html tag. Since the bits between the # marks are supplied
by the CF server, but the CF server is not normally looking for work to do
inside html tags, you have to put the <form> inside a cfoutput tag to get
the CF server to pay attention and replace the #xxxx# values.
If you were using cfform instead, CF server knows it has to look at cfform,
since it is a CF tag not an HTML tag. I doubt that you would have to put a
similar cfform inside cfoutput tags.
Regards,
Alan Ford
