Display variable in text field

[timrande]

Here's the code: <input type="text" name="myDate" id="myDate" value="#strDate#">

Not sure why this doesn't work.
Instead of the value of the variable, I get the variable name in the text box
'#strDate#'

I have other pages where i am diplaying variable values in text boxes, for
example here's one the works on another page:
<input type="text" name="Markup" value="#Markup#">

I don't see any differences in the code.

Use:

<input type="text" name="myDate" id="myDate" value="<cfoutput>#VARIABLES.strDate#</cfoutput>" />

You need to use cfoutput:-

<cfoutput>
<input type="text" name="Markup" value="#Markup#">
</cfoutput>
