[thelist] Coldfusion: getting javascript variables

That didn't work, only displays var name. I tried creating a new
document with the following code:

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>

<body>

<form name="foo" method="post" action="test.cfm">
<input name="test" value="testing display">
<input type="submit">
</form>

<cfoutput>
#form.test#
</cfoutput>

</body>
</html>

However, when I run this too, I only get the variable name, and no
evaluation of what it maybe.

I am running this locally on my machine, could this be the problem?
Fresh install of ColdFusion 4.5 on WindowsXP with IIS.

Thanks again
