ok after nearly tearing my hair out all day i still dont know what was wrong but managed to fix it. if i was to set the value of the hidden form fields as follows:
$('columnID').value = columnIDsArray; then it was working sometimes and not others, yet if i set it as follows: document.manageLookupForm.columnID.value = columnIDArray; then it works all the time???? does anyone have any idea why this would happen. i have the first way set up on all my interfaces and works fine but on this interface like i said it works fine with the second way but not the first? thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:294424 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
