I'm running the newest non-beta webcatalog acgi, WebTen2.0No, this is not a bug, it's what's expected to happen. If you stick a 'throwaway' field in there as the first one, then all the subsequent fields will work fine as expected.Perhaps this will help you visualize what's going on here: in your mind, pretend there's an underscore '_' instead of a carriage return in your [append] context:[append db=xxx.db]__blank=&title=[title]&sku=[sku][/append]See how that first field is named __blank? That's what you're doing with those carriage returns -- it thinks they're part of the fieldname. But since you have no field named __blank in your database, WebCatalog just ignores that field and moves on to the next one, which is title. Since there *is* a field named title, it goes ahead and appends that information to the database.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
