I want to execute a function on click

[J?J]

I want to make a link execute a function I made, instead of going to a
different page. Has anyone done anything like this? I've looked in the forums
but theres almost no information on functions.

My attempt. It executes the function on page loadup, not when it's clicked.

<a href='<Cfoutput>#session.myFunctions.Deletestory(I D)#</Cfoutput>'>
Delete Story
</a>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ColdFusion is a 'Server-Side' mark up language. So to get it to do anything
once your page has hit the browser you need to send a request back to the
Application server. So to get this sort of functionality you would need to use
some 'Client-Side' language like JavaScript to load a page containing a call to
your function.

so i have to go to a different page, huh? Oh well.....

Create a javascript function on the page and do a simple postback ie function
postback(){ document.nameofyourform.action = 'thenameofyourpage.cfm';
document.nameofyourform.submit(); form1.fieldyouwantfocuson.focus(); }
