Onlick and Passing varible

[newcf]

I have the page: one textbox, one button using Onclick. User enter name from
textbox then click "Go button", pop-up page open and display name. I want able
to pass the value from the txtbox to the pop-up page so i can filter down for
my search

<script language="JavaScript">

function lookup(srchVal, returnTo) {
var url = "ldaplookup.cfm?name=" + srchVal + "&ret=" + returnTo;
var lt = (screen.width - 490) / 2;
var up = (screen.height - 175) / 2;
window.open(url, "LDAP", "width=540," + "height=175," + "left=" + lt +
",top=" + up + " scrollbars, resizable, alwaysRaised", "False");
}

function addName(userinfo) {
if(userinfo != "") {
var infoArray = userinfo.split("|");
document.frm.Name.value = infoArray[0];
document.frm.UserID.value = infoArray[1];
}
}</script>

=============================
FORM.CFM
=============================
Name: <input type="text" name="RequestorName">&nbsp;
<script language="JavaScript">document.write('<input type="button"
value="Lookup Name" name="x500Lookup"
onclick=lookup(document.frm.Name.value,"addName")> </td>');</script>

==============================
ldaplookup.cfm

<cfldap name="results"

sort="sn Asc"
scope="Subtree"
start="ou=whtg ,o=administration,c=us">
<cfoutput>#Name#</cfoutput><br>

ERROR:
Variable NAME is undefined.

Make sure the reference to the textbox value is correct.

1) Is your form actually named "frm" ?
2) Is the textbox name "RequestorName" or "Name". Make sure to use the
correct case.

Also, you should scope the variable in the "ldaplookup.cfm" page.

<cfoutput>#url.Name#</cfoutput><br>

msxtu,
Thanks for point that out. I acutally copy and paste.

Yes, the form name is frm and the texbox name is RequestorName
Thanks

msxtu,

Thanks alot. I can't try it from home, will try it tomorrow and let you know.

what I try to do is passing the name from the textbox into my filter from
cfldap query. sn is the lname, and given name is the fname. User might enter :
lname, fname OR lname. I also have to specify two attributes for starts.
Please tell me if i have the incorect systax.

<cfldap name="results"
server="X500"
action="QUERY"
attributes="roomnumber,userClass,mail,telephonenum ber, sn"
filter="(|(sn ~=#RequestorName#) (givenname ~=#RequestorName#) )"
sort="sn Asc"
scope="Subtree"
start="(&(ou=whtg ,o=administration,c=us) (ou=jku,o=administration,c=us))"

You may need to parse the #url.RequestorName# value to extract a first or last
name, but the concept of passing the value to the popup window is fine. I
haven't used ldap in a while, so I would check your ldap documentation for the
right syntax :-)

msxtu,

I still getting the error. the output is <cfoutput>#url.RequestorName#</cfoutput> not <cfoutput>#url.Name#</cfoutput>. RequestorName is the name for the textbox

[mxstu]

Did you try the exact code I posted? Or did you modify it?

....var url = "ldaplookup.cfm?name=" + srchVal + "&ret=" + returnTo;
On the "ldapLookup.cfm" page make sure you are reference the url variable that
was passed, and not the name of the text box in the main form.

I've figured out. Thanks
