I hope someone here has some experience with FrameIt by VerySimple ( www.verysimple.com/scripts/frameit.html ). I asked over at the forum at VerySimple, but no one answered.

My question is: how can I add a variable to FrameIt that can be passed to the script via the URL?

For example, I want to pass the variable "newvar" to FrameIt. How can I make it accept and know that "newvar" equals 123? I tried just using $Form{newvar}, but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried $Form{'newvar'}?

Hiya Bobsie, t-Dog,

I just had a quick look through the code there, and Jason uses $Form{var} to access other variables in the script, so if the script is working in its original format, you *should* be able to get at $Form{newvar} in the same way. Can you post the portion of code that you're using the variable in?

Almost forgot about this thread I started...

Bobsie, Adam,

I'm quite sure that I tried both $Form{newvar} and $Form{'newvar'}. It didn't work. Nothing was inserted at the place where newvar should have went.

Any other suggestions? I contacted the author of the script. After waiting for a whole week, he replied, saying that it's been a long time since he worked on the script, and that he's redoing the code to fix a bug. He couldn't tell me how to add a variable.

As I said, either should work if the script works in its unomodified state, so I would think that you might have made an error with your modification. If you could post the snippet containing your modification, we might be able to help.

Here is what I wanted to do.

$Form{id} is the new variable which is passed to the script in the URL.
