Re: Formvariables name matching

If there is No value for say 'var_cat' then it is not processed.Otherwise if you try and use a [var_cat] in the page when there is no value sent from the form... you get [var_cat] printed in the page.-- Regards,MarkoOn Friday, 9 December 2005 5:42 PM, William DeVaul
