You need to put quotes around your variable:
<INPUT NAME=ThreadName TYPE=TEXT SIZE=40 MAXLENGTH=40 VALUE="<@VAR ThreadName
SCOPE=User>">
Otherwise the browser stops reading at the first space.

Quick query; I've built a form that stores data in variables (local scope) for
verification before posting to a databse
The data shows up OK in debug and posts OK to the database, but when I preview it in a
Text field in a form, the "type=text" fields just display the data up to the first
white space! The data does get to the database OK, so it is OK in the variable - it
just doesn't display properly...
For example, the data "Test 17" would, in the form, be displayed as "Test" - but be
punched into the database as "Test 17"
I've done this before without any problems - what am I doing wrong??
