need tag for dropdown and input
I know I've seen it somewhere on my journeys. It's the tag that displays both a dropdown (populated from a query) as well as an accompanying text input so that the if the needed value isn't listed in the dropdown, the user can enter it into the text box. But only one variable for the value is sent. Anyone know where I can pick this up? I'm not sure what to search for on the DevX. I sure wish they would make a more powerful and relevant search tool.

Re: Multiple updates on a single submit
If I'm understanding you , there are actually two ways of doing this. If you're certain that your data won't contain any commas, the easiest way is to build the form by looping over each queried item. Each item in the form will have the same name (ie employeeID, attendanceStatusID). This will send a comma delimited list pairs (ie employeeID:23,45,64,23,87 attendanceStatusID:4,2,3,3,1,2) Then, to submit each record into the database, loop over the lists. The key here is that each position in each list corresponds to the data in the same position in the other lists. If you're going to do this, you MUST make sure that some value is submitted for every single item on the form. Otherwise, the length of the lists is thrown off and thus, the values for each record, not to mention that an error will be thrown. If your data may contain commas or you don't want to force the user to submit a value for each item in the form, you can build the form by looping over each queried item, but instead, this time give each and every form item a unique name, usually a number (ie employeeID1,employeeID2, attendanceStatus1,attendanceStatus2). In this way, all 1's go together and all 2's go together, etc. You can then break apart the form item names and insert them via a loop. If you'd like to see code examples of either form elements or data insert sequences, let me know. I have code samples of either approach. hth, ~Val - Original Message - From: Kennerly, Rick H CIV [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 11:04 AM Subject: Multiple updates on a single submit a bit intimidated by the level of discourse on this list, but here goes. (You should start a CF-Talk_Training_Wheels for guys like me.) Anyway, just getting started with CF and one thing I never see are examples of multiple record updates into a database with a single submit button. What we're noodling over is an attendance process for a staff of about 500 in 14 departments. The idea is that an administrator would click a button that would query the entire SQL db for employee names by department. The query would dump the results into a form that also had check boxes or radio buttons (on duty, day off, holiday, training, leave, sick). We've gotten that far. But we can't figure out how to code so that the submit button would then update all the queried records in the database. When we try the obvious--to us--code, all the buttons on the entire update are applied to very first record only. I can see how to do this one record at a time. I just don't see how to do it five at a time. Is it possible in ASP/CF?

Re: CSS and Netscape - was(CSS and dynamically changing classes)
I just began reading this thread, so I hope I'm understanding what's going
on. I looked at your screenshots, but I didn't see that your code was
posted anywhere. A few thoughts come to mind. First, I always use CSS on
my selects and they work fine in IE and NS, so I can't see that CSS is at
fault. Second, in my experience, NS is famous for doing this to select
boxes if there are no form tags around it. Do you have form tags? Even if
you're just using JavaScript, you have to have the tags, even if they are
void of any attributes. Third, I agree regarding your opinion of NS (but
that's a whole 'nother thread!). Anyhow, HTH!

Thanks Dave!
I decided to use the visibility property after I got this going.
On another note - I decided to view my page in Netscape 4.08. I was in
for a HUGE shock. My page, which uses CSS mostly at the most basic
level, totally breaks my page. Selects don't work at all when I have
the class property in the tag. Does this mean that the Netscape 4

Hi everybody,
I have a form where a text input box become available for use
only if a certain slection is made. What I want to do is have the color
of the text box be grey if it is not available and normal color (which
is purple in my case) if it is available.
I can handle the css which makes it grey, and the javascript
which makes it non-focusable until the correct selection is made, but I
need it to change color.
I tried (as an educated guess)
If (select.selectedIndex == 8) {
form.nameoftextbox.class = sameclassasrest;}
and
If (select.selectedIndex == 8) {
form.nameoftextbox.style = sameclassasrest;}
but neither worked for me.
Can I do this and how?
Thank you,
Matt Small

Re: CSS and Netscape - was(CSS and dynamically changing classes)
This doesn't directly align with the standardization argument, but it still bespeaks a major disadvantage of NS.

Small [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 1:16 PM Subject: RE: CSS and Netscape - was(CSS and dynamically changing classes) Here's my rough draft. Anybody got anything to add? - Matt Small Dear Mr. Case, We are a group of internet designers/ developers that have come together to express our dissatisfaction with the Netscape line of browsers. Developing for Netscape is more than a headache for web designers and developers. It means money spent for time when developing a new site for multiple browsers; it means having to code for the lowest common denominator in browsers and using the least number of features available. It means that people have different technologies to access the same medium, and they get different, unequal experiences. None of these things are good for the internet. Let us use an analogy: If our television were to get Time-Warner Cable, with every channel from HBO to Fox News, and your different brand of television received the same cable line but the top 30 channels were fuzzy, and then advertisements appeared much different than when the designers created them, what kind of experience would that be? You have advertisers unhappy because their messages do not get across to a maximum sized audience; some of the audience gets the newest and fastest, while parts of it just stay the same because they don't know how to change. Television programmers go crazy trying to figure out what is viable viewing and what isn't. We are not trying to condone a monopoly by any company, especially Microsoft, but rather a standard which must be set and achieved. Internet Explorer sets the defacto standard in usability, functionality, and features. Netscape needs to step up or step out. Netscape 6.X still does not meet the standard. We hope you get this and understand our position. Thank you for you time.

Re: Upgrade to CF 5.0 - yes or no ??
Our upgrade went well with the exception of our cfgraph implementations. I'm trying to remember, but it was something about a different Java version being used in the newer version.

Re: Multiple Checkbox update?
What about placing the client names into a dropdown and allow multiple selections? This would send a comma delimited list of the ClientIDs, then you could loop through the list in the action page, placing the IDs in your WHERE clause. This would save some real estate on the page depending on how many clients there are. Otherwise, if you're sure you want to do the checkboxes, do a cfparam value=Form.ClientIDHere default=0 for each ClientID just before the UPDATE/INSERT so that each client has a value.

Re: FileExists returns NO every time, even with absolute path
Well, two things that have messed me up in the past are ... 1. Make sure you have the attribute enctype=multipart/form-data in your form tag 2. You MUST place a trailing slash at the end of the destination value in the CFFILE tag. (I'm betting it's this one causing your error). I see where you were going with this now. I think CF is pretty darn good at finding errors for you, but unfortunately sometimes the error you're receiving has absolutely nothing to do with the real issue. *sigh* Best Regards, ~Val - Original Message - From: Stocke Terri [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 10:46 AM Subject: RE: FileExists returns NO every time, even with absolute path Okay, that makes sense. But how come no matter what file I browse to, CF will not upload the file? That is, if I remove the fileExists altogether and just go right to my cffile tag, I get the error that the form field specified in the CFFILE tag (DESCRIPTION) does not contain an uploaded file. I checked, and the path to the file is correct. Sorry guys!!!

Reduce the servers to one machine and replace that with a Compaq Deskpro 386, that I brought with me when I left Ashton-Tate. 2. Introduce calls to the SETI on the web project to process every time a new page is called. 3. Reduce the text size for ALL browsers so you don't need to use NS6. 4. Turn the system off for maintenance at random times twice per day between 6am and 5pm Pacific time. 5. Create a random letter insert program to change developers names, passwords and download names.

Re: Forcing Excel Download
I just did this sort of thing this week. To force a dialog box for download instead of having a file load into the browser for display, I made a page called download.cfm and placed this code on it. cfheader name=content-disposition value=attachment; filename=#Url.filename# cfcontent type=unknown file=#ExpandPath(./)#files/upload/#Url.ProductID#/#Url.filename# Then I linked my filenames to point to it, with a query string that includes the filename. The beauty is that the unknown file type tricks the browser into not rendering the doc, and the cfheader allows the retention of the file extension in the dialog box. I can't take credit for it, though. I found the solution in a search at TechTips forum.

Re: Get a random record, but not too random?
What if you write the ID of the previous set into a variable, then either deny that set from within the next query, or simply test to see if it picked the same one and if so, redo the query until it retrieves a set that does not match the previous. Does that make sense? Did I understand the question? HTH! ~Val - Original Message - From: Jeff Fongemie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 3:40 PM Subject: Get a random record, but not too random? Thursday, January 31, 2002, 3:32:59 PM Hello cf-talk, I've got a layout that displays a random set of images on each page. I have one to many DB setup, with image sets, and images respectively. I first find a random set, then get the images for that set. It works like this: cfquery name=getcoverset datasource=#request.DSN# dbtype=ODBC SELECT coverid FROM coverpicsets /cfquery CFSET List = ValueList(getcoverset.coverid) CFSET Position = RandRange(1, ListLen(List)) CFSET Randomset = ListGetAt(List, Position) CFQUERY name=set datasource=#request.DSN# SELECT * FROM coverpics WHERE coverid=(SELECT * FROM coverpicsets WHERE coverid = #Randomset#) /cfquery cfoutput query=set#one# #two# #three# #four#/cfoutput What I'm trying to do is have the random set, choose a set, but exclude set that was used on the previous page. I've tried setting the randomset as a parameter, and using it in an cfif statement, as in cfif randomset exists, then run the query exluding that random set, if not then just run the normal above query. However, it is not keeping random set from page to page. Am I going about this is the right way? Best regards, Jeff Fongemie mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Why Share?

Re: Get a random record, but not too random?
I forgot to mention that you'll want to use an application var to store that ID so that it persists for you. ~Val - Original Message - From: Jeff Fongemie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 3:40 PM Subject: Get a random record, but not too random?
