What about just signaling the page to SUBMIT rather than REFRESH and set some sort of hidden field flag to tell the processing page NOT to process the form, but just to let it refresh with the same form data. This will allow the form to keep submitting to itself.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 4:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Form Fields - storing unsaved values. Got a form with a list of rows coming from a database. User enteres new data, then realizes he needs to add a row to this form. User click sa hyperlink to do just that - and a popup window opens for him to add a row. User closes the popup window after successful addition, and form must refresh to add the row, but a refresh would erase the unsaved data. What is an elegant way to store this data and repopulate the refreshed window with it? I could prompt the user to save the form before leaving it if the form is dirty, and I do, but the form has many edits and would never successfully submit to the dbif the user had to add a row and a value to that row. So I need to store it another way I am guessing some javascript would help. Somehow I may be able to loop through the form's fields and capture each value and pass it along to the popup window, then back down to the main window after the refresh. Does that sound like a good start? Something like: for(var i=0; i < window.document.form1.elements.length; i++{ putInArray(window.document.form1.elements[i].value); } I know that syntax is no where close to what it should be, but am I on the right track? Thanks.
