Can't you just provide a 'name' attribute and use that. On Jun 22, 2012, at 12:00 PM, "Shane Heasley" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:
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. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jhusum Sent: Friday, June 22, 2012 8:19 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 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.

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.
