Hi Boston PM,
I'm using CGI and HTML-Template for a web project (to allow user to update info for a database record). Here is a sample code snippet from the cgi script and the template. # from cgi script My $t=HTML::Template->new(filename=>'/path_to_template_file'); $t->param(fname=>$name_retrieved_from_database); # 'Scott' $t->param(project=>$project_number_retrieved_from_database); # 'Project 2' $t->param(comment=>$comment_retrieved_from_database); # 'project on track' # from template <input type="text" name=""fname" value="<tmpl_var name="fname">"> <select name="project"> <option value="project_1">Project 1</option> <option value="project_2">Project 2</option> <option value="project_3">Project 3</option> </select> <textarea name="comment" value="<tmpl_var name="comment">"></textarea> The text field 'fname' worked as expected (displaying 'Scott' in the text box). But the other two fields didn't show the assigned values. Can someone tell me what I goofed? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
