You could make this MUCH easier on yourself and just do a form POST into the iframe. Hekc, you could even use GET if you wanted to. Regardless, just target the iframe using JS then set hidden form fields to get passed in to.

Once the server has processed the request, the client (browser) has control of the final request. If you are looking at populating things before the client receives it then you could do something like this <cfoutput> <input value="#form.someValue#" /> </cfoutput> However if you are looking at trying to do this once the user is doing something in the form then no, you need to think about ajax and/or process the form by sending it back to the server to process and return the entire page again. You have to remember that server and client can only talk in a certain manner, and if I am hearing you right you are needing to understand that before continuing with your development. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Blickensderfer [mailto:d...@blickensderfer.com] Sent: Sunday, 21 February 2010 2:04 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: iframe cfscript getting parent form field values Can I set the form value to a cfset variable? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Scott" <andr...@andyscott.id.au> To: "cf-talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2010 10:01 PM Subject: RE: iframe cfscript getting parent form field values > > No, > > Cfscript is server side scripting.
