Loop over the form.fieldnames variable and check the start of the string <cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="i"> <cfif left(i,4) is 'name'> <cfset myvalue = form[i]> <cfbreak> </cfif> </cfloop>
Brook -----Original Message----- From: Richard Steele [mailto:r...@photoeye.com] Sent: December-09-10 3:59 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Getting the value of a hidden form field with changing names I have a form that has a hidden field whose value is set using a jquery function. That hidden field's name is also set on the fly and has digits appended to it (eg. name-01 or name-99). These numbers change each time the form is loaded. When the form is submitted through a post, how do I grab the value of that hidden field if I only know the root of that name (as a result of digits being appended to it each time)? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339953 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
