Well, since a FORM is essentially a struct, you can access
you variable by referencing it this way :
#FORM["E-Mail"]#
I tested it with CFServer 4.5.1 on Solaris, but since this
kind of reference can be made also on 4.0, it should work.

Subject: How to escape a "-" in a form post
Hi,
I have to make a general form that takes a user defined form
element
such as a text field and put it into an email. I have everything
working except if a user creates a form with an input field named with
a
dash (-)
cold fusion treats it as a subtraction and returns an error when i try
to access the variable.
I need to be able to reference the variable on the following page.
For example i would normally reference a form variable such as a text
box with the name "address" as #form.address# but if the user makes
the
name of the field "E-Mail" you would think that you would be able to
reference it with #form.E-Mail# but cold fusion responds with the
error:
____________________________
Invalid parser construct found on line 14 at position 17. ColdFusion
was
looking at the following text:
-
Invalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in the
expression
structure.
____________________________
I have tried escaping it with a "\" and even using the same character
twice "--" but nothing works. Could anyone please tell me how to
escape
a dash from a form element.
Thanks!
Kevin
