Form Help Revisited

[quiero mas]

HI run into a couple of problems.

1. When there isn't anything written in the text field the page errors.
2. I also have check boxes - but if they are left unchecked it erorrs
3. For drop down menus i cant get anything rolling.

4. Maybe this is going to tricky but ... I have the results of a symptom
search that is sent to the top of the form sheet.

the user chooses a letter from the alphabet which leads them to a list of
symptoms starting with that letter then they add the appropriate symptoms to a
list - when they decide to view their symptom list the user is asked to
complete the health form.

I want all of this information to be sent to to the printer friendly page. Is
this possible?

Many thanks
Mark

For #'s 1 and 2, use <CFPARAM> at the top of your form's action page.
Like:

<CFPARAM name="FORM.text_field" default="">
<CFPARAM name="FORM.CheckBox1" default="No">
<CFPARAM name="FORM.CheckBox2" default="No">

etc., etc.

For problem 3, start a new thread and be more specific.

For problem 4, You can do a printer friendly page in many ways....
(A) Always use CSS to generate a native print that works OK. Do this in
addition to anything else (PDF, etc).
(B) You can generate a PDF document or a flashpaper output.
(C) You can use javascript to automatically pop up the print dialog.
