[ic] pass mv_searchspec variable through login.html to another page

[SofaKingRotten]

Hi,

I use the 'search_box_small' component on the left
side for searching userdb. After a search term is
entered, it takes me to a results page which is
'members_only' (using [tmp members_only]1[/tmp]). When
user is not logged in, it takes them to the login
page. After login they are then taken to the results
page, however, I need to pass the mv_searchspec to
this page from the original search. Using hidden
variables, including *this* variable, on the
login.html page, I get the expected results on the
results page:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_searchspec"
VALUE="a_known_valid_search_term">

But I can't pass the search term to the results page
using the following:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_searchspec"
VALUE="[value mv_searchspec]">

(and also tried VALUE="[data session arg]")

I also tried using scratch variables within
login.html:

[set temp_spec][value mv_searchspec][/set]

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_searchspec"
VALUE="[scratch temp_spec]">

and several variations of the above. I have been
searching the archives and icdevgroup.org but can't
lay my finger on that almighty tag or variable syntax.

My complete login.html form is below.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thank you.
