Problems displaying iRev script output in an iFrame

Fri Aug 13 08:24:52 EDT 2010

You can't use form elements directly in an irev script. Meaning you
can't include them between <?rev and ?>

So for example the line:

put "Thanks for the feedback."<br />
<br />

Just confuses the engine.  Since its within a <rev script tag you nave
to specifically "put" the tags you want, inside quotes as rev expects
things to be. Since the html tags are just text you can do:

put "Thanks for the feedback.<br /> <br />"

If you wanted to do the <br /> seperate, you could do:
put "Thanks for the feedback." & "<br /><br />"

If you need to put several things together, follow normal rev rules.
You do this correctly with your $_POST lines, except for the trailing
"<br />" which should be in quotes.  If it was just <br> it would
probably work because then it would be seen as a single entity, the
engine would try to interpret it as a variable, failing that would
just put out <br>  (I think) but since there is a space between the r
and the / it would see it as 2 separate entities and not know what to
do with the last part.  This is an example of why you should always
quote string output.

The fixed script portion follows:

<?rev

put "Thanks for the feedback.<br /> <br />"
Put "Your information is:<br /><br />"

put "Name:"&& $_post["name"] & "<br /><br />"
put "Age:"&& $_post["age"] & "<br /><br />"
put "Email:"&& $_post["email"] & "<br /><br />"
put "<br />"
Put "We'll be in touch as soon as possible." & "<br />"

?>
