cfform

[nm1m]

Every time I try to submit a feature request on the Macromedia website, I get
the following error message:

Gateway Timeout.

So, here is the feature(s) that I was going to request. Hopefully somebody
from MM will find them.
-----------------------
cfform format=flash is a nice idea, and a good first step. However, here are
some suggestions:

When the focus is in a cfform input field, hitting enter should submit the
form. This is a fundamental behaviour of almost every HTML form in almost
every possible browser. Please add this functionality.

There should be a way to change the form's action attribute after the form has
been rendered. For example, a button's "onclick" attribute would be able to
change the form's action.

cfgrid and its accompanying tags are WAY too complicated; also, some intuitive
attributes are frustratingly absent. There needs to be a way to do the
following:
1) Please simplify the form values that the action page receives. For a grid
with the following columns: person_id, name, phone; I would expect the action
page to receive the following form values: person_id=123, name=Bob,
phone=123456789. Instead I get this enormous string that has to be parsed and
reparsed. Please simplify!

2)If a row in a cfgrid is clicked, I don't necessarily need or even want all
of the fields to be passed on to the action page. In some cases, I would just
like to specify a single column, or a list of columns to pass along.

what i ahve is a query named "inst" and i am using cfform tag as follows -

<cfform action ="page1.cfm" method ="post">
<select name="instlist">
<cfoutput>
<cfloop query="inst"><option
value="#inst.code#">#inst.name#</option></cfloop>
</cfoutput>
</select>
:
:
</cfform>

Above code works fine. But if i change the format of <cfform> flash... instead
of reading the value of option tag (inst.code) it reads the text which is
diplayed with between option (inst.name)

can anyone tell whats wrong?

Please do help..
Thanking you in advance

I have only had a brief play with the new flash forms but I believe that you have to use only cfinputs, cfselects etc..

So try that.

My application used to work but suddenly after moving to a different server
many times the application show strange behavior for example: within <CFFORM>
</CFFORM), there is a checkbox that does not work.

The code looks like this:
<CFOUTPUT query="AllEmp">
<CFFROM>
Some required fields are coded using <CFINPUT>, non-required fields uses
<input>
Those uses <input > do not relecft database values, for example, non of
the the checkbox below is checked when it is
supposed to be checked.

<input type="Radio" name="Gndr" value="F" <cfif sex EQ
"F">checked="Yes"</Cfif>>Female
<input type="Radio" name="Gndr" value="M" <cfif sex EQ
"M">checked="Yes"</Cfif>>Male
</CFFORM>
</CFOUTPUT>

Do this right before you show your form

<cfdump var="the gender is #AllEmp.Gndr#look for spaces">

You are looking for two things. A single space and either an F or M after the
word "is", and no spaces between that letter and the word "look"

[alecken]

Everytime my application see #Gndr# it throw error. It's like my app. doesn't
see the form.Gndr
<cfif sex EQ "F">checked="Yes"</Cfif> OR <cfif sex EQ
"M">checked="Yes"</Cfif> <<<<< doesn't see this code

An error occurred while evaluating the expression:

"the gender is #AllEmp.Gndr#look for spaces"
Error near line 231, column 18.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error resolving parameter ALLVIEW.GNDER

The column GNDR is not present in the query named ALLVIEW. It is likely that
you have misspelled the name of the column.

Oops, try the same thing with AllEmp.sex instead of AllEmp.gndr
