Hi Nicholas, I bet if you looked at your 'view-source' you would see the whole value.
In HTML, you need to quote all attributes values, where the values may contain a space. So, if you change: <INPUT NAME=ThreadName TYPE=TEXT SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=40 VALUE=<@VAR ThreadName SCOPE=User>> To: <INPUT NAME=ThreadName TYPE=TEXT SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=40 VALUE="<@VAR ThreadName SCOPE=User>"> Then the whole value will appear in your text field in the browser. Hope this helps. Cheers....
