 Everett, Does that mean I'm stuck with using the regular FORM tag?

I wouldn't consider it being stuck. I stay far away from CFFORM. I much
prefer to roll my own validation routines.

CFFORM with method=GET?

2003-03-07 Thread James Blaha 
CFFORM Workaround to achieve URL variables in a METHOD = GET Simulation.

Unfortunately the CFFORM tag does not support the attribute for METHOD. The default 
METHOD is POST this email has the information for a workaround if you still want to 
use CFFORM without having to use a regular FORM tags and write out all the JavaScript 
for field validation.

1. Form page that pass’s all the variables needs to be setup with all the proper 
“cfparam tags for all the fields being used. Data will be sending to an intermediate 
conversion template for the POSTED variables.

(A. Sending Template with your CFFORM)

!--- Note: There are 10 search options available. ---
!--- 1. ---   cfparam name=ReqNo   default=
!--- 2. ---   cfparam name=FirstName   default=
!--- 3. ---   cfparam name=LastNamedefault=


2. Intermediate Template:

This template needs to capture all the variables and pass them using a CFLOCATION tag 
which will automatically pass the variables to the desired location e.g. a dynamic 
query search page via the URL. This template doesn’t need anything fancy and at 
minimal without error handling the code below will achieve the desired results.

(B. Intermediate Template)


CFOUTPUT

CFLOCATION 
URL=ResultSet.cfm?ReqNo=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.ReqNo))#FirstName=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.FirstName))#LastName=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.LastName))#ApplicationType=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.ApplicationType))#Status=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.Status))#APPLIED_DATE=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.APPLIED_DATE))#Desired_Position=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.Desired_Position))#SalaryExpectedYR=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.SalaryExpectedYR))#ApplicantStatus=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.ApplicantStatus))#HR_Results=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.HR_Results))#UserRights=#TRIM(urlencodedformat(FORM.UserRights))#

/CFOUTPUT

3. One modification to the receiving template, at the beginning you may want to 
convert your URL to FORM variables if you’re using a dynamic loop to pass those values 
to a next template or your test code is just using FORM variables.

(C. Dynamic Query Template)

!--- Note: There are 10 search options available. ---
!--- 1. ---   CFSET FORM.ReqNo  = URL.ReqNo
!--- 2. ---   CFSET FORM.FirstName  = URL.FirstName
!--- 3. ---   CFSET FORM.LastName  = URL.LastName


4. Why all the trouble you ask? If a dynamic query template is being used to output 
items where you may want to have the option to delete or modify an observation of the 
output upon that event if you reload the referring page from your action page IE will 
prompt the user with a security alert. This is the bypass around this IE bug. 

(D. Action Template)


SQL DELETE FROM IMAIL_EMAIL WHERE ID = ‘#FORM.GERRY#’….

!--- Note: The opener option will refresh the referring pages result set. ---
script
opener.location.reload();
/script


Below is my best try at a visual to this example where  “A” is a search CFFORM that 
submits to the Intermediate Template “B” which then relocates and coverts the FORM 
variables to URL variables to a Dynamic Query Template “C.” Then if the user selects a 
action page to e.g. delete or modify you then open a new window and run your Action 
Template “D” which then refresh “C.”

Framed Page Setup


* A  |  B   C *



* D *



I hope this helps if you ever run into this issue. It’s a basic web application trick 
but it caused me some pain  loss if time to learn the hard way. When you really need 
to use METHOD= “GET” I would say its best to just use FORM tags and the JS then all 
this information means nothing.

James Blaha

 Hello Everyone,
 
  
 
 I'm trying to use CFFORM with method=GET I need to pass my form
 variables via the URL but it seems to be working like a POST. 
 
  
 
 My Code:
 
  
 
 cfform name = Search action = action.cfm method=GET
 
  
 
 If I get rid of the CFFORM and use a regular FORM it works.
 
  
 
 Any ideas?

 I'm trying to use CFFORM with method=GET I need to pass 
 my form variables via the URL but it seems to be working 
 like a POST.

Straight from the docs:

The method attribute is automatically set to post; if you specify a value,
it is ignored.

So, if you must send data via the URL, you'll probably want to use a regular
HTML form.
