Scott - why not put the whole string in the variable, like below:
<@IF EXPR="<@VERSION> beginswith 5.5">
<@ASSIGN request$fixEnc VALUE='Encoding=META'>
<@ELSE> <@ASSIGN request$fixEnc VALUE='Encoding=METAHTML'>
</@IF>
<@ASSIGN request$dynamicStuff VALUE="<@LITERALVALUE='<@VERSION>'>">
<@VAR request$dynamicStuff @@request$fixEnc>
Haven't tried that yet, but maybe that would do the trick...

I appreciate it.
I have a workaround in mind, but it's not a simple task :-(

I've had the same problem. It just doesn't seem to work to
have a variable hold the encoding value. I'm guessing that
it is a bug.

Thank you Bill,
I tried your suggestion, but that doesn't help.
Placing @@request$fixEnc by itself in the sample returns the
value META
just fine.
The ENCODING attribute is just not accepting it.
Am I crazy, or shouldn't any Metatag attribute accept a
dynamic value?

How about quoting attributes?
<@IF EXPR="<@VERSION> beginswith 5.5">
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="request" NAME="fixEnc" VALUE="META"> <@ELSE>
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="request" NAME="fixEnc" VALUE="METAHTML"> </@IF>

But that part works okay. It's the dynamic setting of
the ENCODING
attribute that is the problem.
The ENCODING attribute does not want to accept a
dynamic variable
value, and in the case of my example the <@VERSION>
metatag is not
evaluating
- it's
returning the raw text of <@VERSION>, not executing the
metatags.
The ENCODING is defaulting to NONE on 5.5, not the META
value I'm
trying to set.
By the way, I've already tried searching the List archive
on this, but
no luck.
Thanks.

Try quoting '5.5' I'm betting 5.5 is getting cast as a number.

Hi All,
I know I said I wouldn't do it again, but I couldn't help

felt sooo gooood!
I'm writing Witango code again, but I'll leave you
guessing who I'm
working for :-)
Why doesn't the following work? Witango 5.0 or 5.5 on Windows.
<@IF EXPR="<@VERSION> beginswith 5.5"> <@ASSIGN
request$fixEnc
VALUE=META> <@ELSE> <@ASSIGN request$fixEnc
VALUE=METAHTML> </@IF>
<@ASSIGN request$dynamicStuff VALUE="<@LITERAL
VALUE='<@VERSION>'>">
<@VAR request$dynamicStuff ENCODING=@@request$fixEnc>
Has it just been so long since writing Witango code for
me, that I
can't remember some basic principle here?
Shouldn't I be able to dynamically set any attribute
value for a
Metatag?
Thank you for any feedback.
