Passing url variables and displaying them on Linux

[rosn459]

I've built a website that uses a Linux platform.

I pass two url variables to another form but can not get the values of these variables to appear within the body of the form! I surround them with output statements but still no values! The technical support person tells me it is because I am using CF on their Unix platform. I have used Unix platforms before and never had this problem. Is there any validity in this statement?

If it is, shouldn't I just be able to use straight HTML and confert my CF code to HTML?

I have posted my url and receiving page below:
Sending:
<a href="ShoppingCart.cfm?ItemNum=1234&ItemDesc=ProductOne" target="_blank">Add To Basket</a>
Receiving:
<form action="ShoppingCart.cfm" method="post" name="ShoppingCart.cfm" id="ShoppingCart.cfm">

<table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="##C6BBBB">
<th>Below are the item(s) you've selected:</th>
<tr><td>ITEM</td><td>NUM</td><td>QTY</td></tr>
<cfoutput>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="ItemDesc" value="#url.ItemDesc#"></td><td>#url.ItemNum#</td><td><input type="text" name="#url.ItemNumQty#" value="1" size="3" maxlength="10"></cfoutput</td>
</tr>

</table>

</form>
</body>

sometimes i've had cf give the error but when it is displayed in the "value" of an input box i have to view source to see the error. you may get "ItemNumQty is undefined in url" I don't see it in your link or defined anywhere else. or something about

</cfoutput</td>

you're missing the ">". View the source and see if you have a coldfusion error hidden in there somewhere.

Doug,

When I cut and pasted my code, I accidentally left off the ">".

Oddly enought, I do not get an error. What I do get is this on my receiving page:


Below are the item(s) you've selected:
ITEM NUM QTY
#url.ItemNum#

What does your query string look like.. Is it possible your doing something where on the page that links to this you're saying

url.ItemNum=#url.ItemNum# and you forgot to put a cfoutput around that.. Try outputting a function or something.. #Now()#

if webmigit's suggestion doesn't work my guess would be one or all of the CF services isn't running. can you see your cf in the view source?
