Oh actually I'm not sure you can set the background color of a select box as a whole. Individual options, however, I KNOW you can.
The best place to start would of course be the final generated source code. Make sure your function is there; make sure your fields are named what you think they are. Make sure the function calls stayed on the cfform fields... etc... Have you considered losing the cfform and just using a standard form? The generated JavaScript from a cfform was always a problem for me when I tried to have my OWN JavaScript on the same page. That's why I stopped using cfform altogether. -----Original Message----- From: Richard White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 4:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfinput text backcolour >I never use CFForms.

I have a few cfselect boxes on the cfform, and a few cfinput type text boxes on the form also. I have set up a generic function, and on the onChange event for each input type i have told it to run the function to change the backcolour of the control that has been pressed. I do this by passing the id of the control as a parameter and then getting it to find that control and change the backcolor. its strange as it works fine on all of the text boxes but doesnt work at all on any of the select boxes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:253797 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
