trying to embed a field into html

[joeydood]

guys, i've posted the details of my little ninny problem here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=539095#post539095

for those not interested in the other thread on the .com, here's the skinny...

i'm trying to feed the user's location into the 'value' field of an html form for submission to another site.

this is what i have in the template:
< INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="p" VALUE="$posts[field2]" size=21 >

this is the source of the output html:
< INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="p" VALUE="" size=21 >

what did i do wrong?

[assassingod]

Its $post[field2] not $posts[field2]

Also, thats bad XHTML, use:

<input type="hidden" name="p" value="$post[field2]" size="21">


AND, on most pages, $post[fieldx] isn't defined so it wont work
