Passing variable into url

Am sure am missing something but why doesnt this work???
If I hardcode the string value it works fine...

<cfset Str_Order =#rsorder.order_id#>
<cfoutput> #Str_Order# </cfoutput>
<p><a href="MyAccount.cfm?view=customsinvoice&OrderID=' #Str_Order# ' "> test</a></p>

You need to clarify "doesn't work". What is the value you are testing and what happens when you run the code, an error ... ?

The value in the URL is probably wrong? Try:

a href="MyAccount.cfm?view=customsinvoice&OrderID=#Str_Order#">test</a></p>

Your A tag needs to be inside the CFOUTPUT otherwise the #Str_Order# will be read as a string instead of a variable.



That will give you the output you want.
