Variables defined inside a context are available inside any contexts contained within the enclosing context. Variables contained within a context are only available within that context.In pseudocode:var1=1 [context] var1 is [var1] [!] will print 1[/!] var2=2 [/context] var2 is [var2] [!] will print nothing, not in the context anymore[/!]For this purpose, a page is an enclosing context and contains all of the form variables passed in. The include file is an enclosed context and has access to all of the page variable as well as its own.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
