flexible way to work with inputs. (IMHO) :-)
This is function will look for a form value named "Yellow", then a query
value named "Yellow" if it does not find either, it will be blank. This UDF
lends its self very well for adding required fields and "add / edit" admin
pages..
<cfset variables.var= "Yellow">
<input name="<cfoutput>#variables.var#</cfoutput>" type="text"
value="<cfoutput>#smartvarText(variables.var)#</cfoutput>" size="35"
maxlength="255" >
All of the outputs are and the cfset out side of the input tag to keep Dream
weaver (users) happy.
UDF:
<cfscript>
function smartvarText(var1) {
if (IsDefined("form.#var1#"))
{ return #form[var1]#;
}
else if(IsDefined(queryname &'.'& var1))
{ return Evaluate(queryname &'.'& var1);
}
return "";
}
</cfscript>
<cfparam name="queryname" default="NULL" type="string">

Tony,
When I try this I get this error:
Parameter 1 of function IsDefined which is now "text" must be a
syntactically valid variable name

but at the same time...i would...
<cfif isDefined(side_1_comments) and len(side_1_comments)>
<input type="text" size="95" name="side_1_comments"
value="#trim(side_1_comments)#" maxlength="100">
<cfelse>
<input type="text" size="95" name="side_1_comments" maxlength="100">
</cfif>
just to double check, and its more read-able :)

Subject: CFIF within input
I want to display text in a input box's value field if there is any info in
the database. The code I'm trying is:
<input type="text" size="95" name="side_1_comments" maxlength="100" <CFIF
trim(side_1_comments) NEQ "" value="#trim(side_1_comments)#"</cfif>>
But I get an error. It seems simple, but I must be missing something I can't
see.
Any suggestion please? Thanks.
Robert O.
