I figured out that the special fields WebMerchant understandsget interpreted and then written directly to the html file. Using Headerfields, I passed values manually, as you say.However, there's a problem with the [append] context I have on thewebdelivery page. I use the [append] to add the info to the finalmembers.db, then a [delete] tag afterwards to delete it from apendingMembers.db. The [delete]tag works fine. WebMerchant is misbehavingtoward [append][/append].Here's the code from the webdelivery.html file that WebMerchant takes,fools with, and spits out as the [cart].html file, whose code follows:=====webdelivery.html:[append db=/fdusers/fdusers.db]fdID=[Header1][/append][delete db=/fdusers/fdusersPending.db&eqfdIDdatarq=[Header1]]=====[cart].html:[db]fdID=29824116034361[/append][delete db=/fdusers/fdusersPending.db&eqfdIDdatarq=29824116034361]=====And the browser displays:[db]fdID=29824116034361Error: Error: expected [/HTMLFORM], but found [/append][delete db=/fdusers/fdusersPending.db&eqfdIDdatarq=29824116034361]There are no [] brackets whatsoever before this, only normal html, and noopening form tags.=====My fix:I finally got it to work by using Header5 and Header6 fields for[raw][append db=/fdusers/fdusers.db][/raw] and [raw][/append][/raw]respectively in the preceding template, so it looks like this[Header5]fdID=[Header1][Header6]...and that works. But it seems like a bad workaround. Is there somethingwrong with the way I had it in the first place, or is append illegal goinginto WebMer? I'm using a Mac and WebStar3.I think this may have been the hardest part of my project...Thanks,Terry WilsonTerry Wilsonterryw@rainbowcreek.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
