[text] doesn't change [formvariables]

texte = When I create a form variable on one page and post it to the next page, sometimes I want to change that value before appending it to the db. So I tried this technique:FirstPage.tpl:



NextPage.tpl:[text]variableName=newValue[/text][append]fieldName=variableName[/append]But instead of appending newValue to the db, webcat appends originalValue.I thought that using a [text] context somewhere on the page was supposed to change the value of its variable everywhere else further on down the page, but that's not what's happening. Instead, it seems like the [text] context doesn't change and form variables posted from the previous page.Is this the way it's supposed to work?Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
