Invisible field except for a end tag? 2

[danielh68]

Hi, I have an invisible field such as below:

<input name=&quot;fname&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; value=&quot;<%=request.form(&quot;fname&quot%>&quot;>

The problem is when I preview through a browser the page will display nothing except for this: &quot;>

My code looks right, yet it displays the qoute and end tag. Is there a way I can rewrite this so it is completely invisible? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

are you possitive this is the field that is causing the &quot;>

just as a note on the side the format for a input is
input , type, name, value attributes
so

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;fname&quot; value=&quot;<%=request.form(&quot;fname&quot%>&quot;>

Double check the value from the recordset that you are inserting into the value field, I guarantee you it is causing it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Frustrated, I uploaded the page to the server so I could show the two of you. However, upon viewing it after upload, it was fine. So, really the problem occurs, when I view it locally...which isn't really a problem.

Thanks a bunch.

oh well, I'd still double check the value that was being inserted from the db, in case it was the cause, that way you can keep ity from happening in the future.

Time to get more coffee
