James - there is a way to have the field report its name to your js function
but I don't remember the syntax offhand and I'm facing a deadline.
Something like this.name but that isn't correct.

I'll look it up this evening.

Subject: Re: [houcfug] CFTextarea and javascript problem

 

Greetings,

I had tried that and added an ID attribute to the CFtextarea tag but the one
that is generated by CF overrode it.

Thanks.

Greetings,

My users want to be able to keep a small library of pre-written text that
they can insert into a textarea on a form. I've got the pieces of text
stored in the database. I have the javascript worked out so they can open a
new window with the lists of text, select the piece of text from the list,
then automagically insert it into the text box. Here comes the tricky bit.

The users also want to have a WYSIWYG editor on the text box so they can
format the text. This is easy enough to do if I use the built in CF features
and use the CFtextarea tag. However, CF generates a random ID attribute each
time you load the page, which makes it difficult to have a constant ID to
refer to from the other javascript that fills in the form.

Anyone got any bright ideas on how to get around this?
