DoubleClick Floodlight not recording correct data

My DoubleClick Floodlight is not recording my data correctly, it sometimes get the actually custom variable name (enclosed in []), and sometimes the actual data

This is a sample data that i'm getting

 | Field_1     | Field_2
1| [field_1]   | [field_2]
2| sample text | another sample text

Sample code

var axel = Math.random() + "";
var a = axel * 10000000000000;
document.write('<iframe class="fl-tags" src="https://1234567.fls.doubleclick.net/activityi;src=1234567;type=type;cat=cat;u1='+ cart['data_1'] + ';u2='+ cart['data_2'] + ';ord=1;num=' + a + '?" width="1" height="1" frameborder="0" style="display:none"></iframe>');

DoubleClick Floodlight setup

u1 = data type string, name field_1
u2 = data type string, name field_2

Why is DC FL getting the actually variable name and not getting the actual data? has anyone encountered this before?

In case you haven't solved yet, the issue is how you are invoking the dynamic variables in the floodlight tag.

You need to create a global variable in your code or create a GTM variable to reference. The variable should be placed within curly brackets {{variable}} in the floodlight pixel. FLS uses the {{ }} to signal a global variable needs to be referenced. ex:

var axel = Math.random() + "";
var a = axel * 10000000000000;
document.write('<iframe class="fl-tags" src="https://1234567.fls.doubleclick.net/activityi;src=1234567;type=type;cat=cat;u1={{data_1}};u2={{data_2}};ord=1;num=' + a + '?" width="1" height="1" frameborder="0" style="display:none"></iframe>');
