Use customvar in product description?

[siwalker]

Can I use the value of a product's CUSTOMVAR in the product description? I have the product's RRP assigned to a customvar RRP. Can I access this value within the html bits of my product description !!< ... >!! ??

Thanks,

I answered an almost identical question 3 days ago on this Forum.

Thanks for that. I had searched the forum but obviously not with the right keywords.

I can't seem to get this to work...

In Act_ProductLine.html I have this:

NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var rrp = 'NETQUOTEVAR:RRP';
// -->
</script>

And in the Product Description I have this:

!!<<script language=JavaScript>document.write(rrp);</script>>!!

but all that appears on the page is the string literal
NETQUOTEVAR:RRP

Any ideas?

Thanks,

You started this thread by asking about a Customvar. You probably should you be using

CUSTOMVAR:RRP instead of NETQUOTEVAR:RRP

Ah - that would be it! Pay attention Walker.

Thanks very much for the prompt reply,
