Re:form variables not passed to action page - please help!
have finally got it all working, have ditched _javascript_. Am doing the check on the server side with help from someone in another forum.
I would recommend you to do it without _javascript_.
1) remove all _javascript_
2) in main file put:
3) buttons:
4) create file resolveform.cfm:
Many Thanks for your help Guys

Re: Re:form variables not passed to action page - please help!
No, the server license won't matter.
You can save yourself a lot of work by using the "preservedata" attribute of the cfform tag. Just make fields that are the same name in the next page of the wizard. They'll be automatically populated upon submit.

Re:form variables not passed to action page - please help!
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post, I have CFMX developer edition on my local development server, both the action pages display the form variables, it all works. However I've got CFMX Standard edition on my server and it does not display the form variables when the "order" button is clicked. Does the server licence got anything to do with the problem I've having? I hope not. Both are Windows 2000 Machines

Re:form variables not passed to action page - please help!
I'm assigning the form field values to hidden variables because it is a 4 pages form and I am passing the values from one page to another in hidden variables. I have chceked the code in both the action pages, they both have the same code, I just don't understand what's happenning here, I've turned debugging on. One another thing I've noticed is if I remove the "id" attribute from the text input fields, I get a _javascript_ error when submitting the form (form variable FirstName is not undefined). I thought the "id" attribute was optional. Any ideas?
