getURL in Flash Form

[Mark Forsberg]

I'm trying to use getURL to pass a value to another template. I'm having no
luck. the URL variable cfgridkey is "undefined".

<cfsavecontent variable="getRecord">
getURL('comment.cfm?cfgridkey=' +
searchResults.dataProvider[searchResults.selectedIndex]['COMMENT_KEY'],'_self');

</cfsavecontent>

<cfgrid format="flash" name="searchResults" colheaderfontsize="10"
colheaderalign="center" colheaderbold="yes" height="210" onchange="#getRecord#">
<cfgridcolumn name="comment_key" header="Comment ID" dataalign="center"/ >
<cfgridcolumn name="lastname" header="Last Name"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="firstname" header="First Name"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="comment_date" header="Comment Date"
dataalign="center"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="comment" header="Comment Preview" width="400"/>
</cfgrid>

The grid is being populated with remoting. Would that make any difference as
to whether the dataProvider can be viewed by the application?
Thanks.

I'm fairly sure that as is case sensative, so

COMMENT_KEY is not the same as comment_key

Scarecrow,

I changed the COMMENT_KEY to comment_key and it is still undefined.
comment_key works fine in populating the grid with the remote. I thought that
comment_key would also be the proper case for using the cfgrid value in a url.
I appreciate the help in this. It's got me stumped.

I would say the problem has to be that the value is not being added to the url.

Is there a reason your still using cfsavecontent ?

To debug, I would do the following:

1. Put in an
Alert(searchResults.dataProvider[searchResults.selectedIndex]['COMMENT_KEY'])
To see if the value is being returned

2. Put in a hard coded value and see if this works
Let's assume a valid comment_key is "search", then
getURL('comment.cfm?cfgridkey=' + 'search';

How are you trying to access the value in the comment.cfm page ?
I think by default it is URL.cfgridkey
You can also include the attribute of "post" or "url" in the geturl function
call.

On reading the doc's about geturl, I can't see anything about a default value.
So I would suggest putting it in


getURL('comment.cfm?cfgridkey=' +
searchResults.dataProvider[searchResults.selectedIndex]['COMMENT_KEY'],'_self',
'GET');

Scarecrow,

I ran numerous tests like you suggested. For grins I populated the grid
with a cfquery and I was able to attach the index in the getURL function. When
I populate the grid with remoting it's as though the function called by the
button click cannot see the grid. I thought that by declaring the name of the
grid in my remoting call that it would be recognized as _root. Perhaps not.
For now it's just going to run like an html form. Not what I want but
I've got other things to finish.
Thanks for all of your help.

Instead of the following
searchResults.dataProvider[searchResults.selectedIndex]['COMMENT_KEY']

Try

searchResults.selectedIndex.comment_key

Your problem is you are not passing all of the items into your grid with
remoting. You need to use this:

responseHandler.onResult = function( results: Object ):Void {
data.dataProvider = results._items;
}

This should solve your problem. You can use either method to bind to the
selected item in the grid and pass it in the getURL clause.

mcadle,

Sorry for the slow response. It's been hectic.
I'll give this a try and see how it goes.
Everyone, thanks for the help. Remoting is cool, but I haven't done it
enough to get good at debugging.
Again, thanks.
