RE: form field parameter not recognized
How do you know the form field is there? It's on the HTML form? If it's blank, that particular browser may not be passing it back to the server. Just in case, use CFIF IsDefined(form.gname) And form.gname IS /CFIF instead to test for its existence, or use a CFPARAM tag to initialize the form.gname field for safety. Works around your immediate problem, at least...

RE: form field parameter not recognized
how about the cf server side validation of input type=hidden name=gname_required value=You forgot to enter a name. put that input right below the gname input and let coldfusion server handle the rest. -Original Message- From: Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 2:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: form field parameter not recognized We're having a strange problem with form field parameters not being recognized when being passed to a second page even though all the code is there and the form field is present.

Re: form field parameter not recognized
cfif not IsDefined('form.gname') or not Len(Trim(form.gname)) should
should work better. It will trap if the field is blank or does not exist,
either one.
As to why it only seems to be happening on the Macs of AOL users, i have no
idea.
