Hi.
I'll need your help. Am still stuck at this. I note that only when I
refresh the page, will I get the latest 'request.vars.value' gets posted to
the controller.
1. Is there a way of auto-refreshing the controller?
2. Is there a better method that this......Following your suggested
option of {{form.custom.end}} i ended up with a blank page instead, hence
going to the basics.
3. My aim is that when a user posts input, I retrieve it from what ever
means....request.vars etc, then send to the functions to process..
Kind regards
