Hidden fields that don't seem to work

[MinalMoe]

Using cfform structures in MX7 to pass details from 1 page to the next amending and adding details from page to page.

So that on the second page the code is:-

<cfform name="Flight_Refine" id="Flight_Refine" method="post" action="test_XML_Response_4.cfm">
<input type="hidden" name="Res_Type" value="#Res_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Dep_Type" value="#Dep_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Des_Type" value="#Des_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Len_Type" value="#Len_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Ad_Num" value="#Ad_Num#" />

Then passing the variables to test_XML_Response_4.cfm" in a repeat mechanism where the code is:-

<cfform name="Data_Transfer" id="Data_Transfer" method="post" action="test_XML_Response_5.cfm?Ch_Passed_No=#Ch_Pass_No#&In_Passed_No=#In_Pass_No#&RDL=#RDL#">
<input type="hidden" name="Res_Type" value="#Res_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Dep_Type" value="#Dep_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Des_Type" value="#Des_Type#" />

Although the variables are all there, when they are passed to test_XML_Response_5.cfm in the same way that they were passed to test_XML_Response_4.cfm, if I attempt to view the variables in test_XML_Response_5.cfm all I see is #variable# rather than the contents of the variable, which can only be passed as *.cfm?variable=#variable#& etc.

Any ideas as to why this is happening.

Thanks.

You need <cfoutput> to output a variable, and if you're referencing a variable from a previous form, you need to scope it:

[red]<cfoutput>[/red]
 <input type="hidden" name="Res_Type" value="#[red]Form.[/red]Res_Type#" />
 <input type="hidden" name="Dep_Type" value="#[red]Form.[/red]Dep_Type#" />
 <input type="hidden" name="Des_Type" value="#[red]Form.[/red]Des_Type#" /> 
[red]</cfoutput>[/red]

Or simply turn them into cfinput's

<cfinput type="hidden" name="Res_Type" value="#Form.Res_Type#" />
 <cfinput type="hidden" name="Dep_Type" value="#Form.Dep_Type#" />
 <cfinput type="hidden" name="Des_Type" value="#Form.Des_Type#" />

Hope this helps!
