Have you tried putting [] around the value... It might be there, just empty??

In my Application.cfm, I declare a variable and in a page, I use it. But it's not showing up. The page at first displayed the information, but it's not doing so now. I have a cfapplication tag in the Application file and it had a sessiontimeout, and when I removed the timeout, I stopped getting the var. Putting it back in didn't seem to help. BTW, I am putting this in the request scope and I was told to do that years ago, but I never knew why and just do it cause I was told. What is the request scope? Here's my code. Application.cfm <cfapplication sessionmanagement="yes" setclientcookies="yes" name="career_expo" clientmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#"> <cfif NOT structKeyExists(session,'user')> <cfset session.user = duplicate(variables.foo)> </cfif> <cfset request.the_year = '2006'> <cfset request.the_date = 'May 4'> ------------------------ Page Code: <span class="heading2">#request.the_date#, 2006<br> 10 am - 1 pm<br></span> I'm just trying to put the information that I have displayed in several places into one place to make it easy to change. thanks. _____________________________ Daniel Kessler College of Health and Human Performance University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://hhp.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:243528 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
