Re: CFInput text and onclick functionality
does just adding an onclick=doFunction(); not work?
cfinput type=text value=default onclick=doFunction(this, this.value); /
script type=text/javascript
function doFunction(ff, ffvalue) {
if (ffvalue == default) {
ff.value = ;
}
}
/script
?

I have a text input box and I want to clear out the default values in the
event that somoene clicks on it and the default values are still entered in
that text box.
Is there anyway I can recreate the onclick functionality? The onchange
works, but I really need to clear the box when users click on it.
Thanks all

Re: CFInput text and onclick functionality
I tried the following and it did not work. In the documentation of Coldfusion
it did not include cfinput text fields as an object that coul do onClick. The
following example did not work.
cfformitem type=script
function doFunction(ff) {
if (ff == 00-00-) {
ff.value = ;
}
else
{
alert(test)
}
}
/cfformitem
cfinput name=gDb onClick=doFunction(gb); mask=99-99- validate=date
value= width=150 label=Date of Birth message=Please enter
your date of birth (Example: 05-07-1956)/

Re: CFInput text and onclick functionality
i don't use cfform...so not really sure what's going on. can you view
the source of the page in the browser and see that the onclick is
still there in the rendered input tag?
and i'm totally not familiar with the cfformitem. can you not
just do a script tag?

Your names aren't consistent - the field is named gDb but the function
call's argument is gb. And in any case, your argument value should be
fully qualified: document.forms[0].gDb. Use the Javascript keyword this
for your argument value to avoid this sort of problem.

RE: CFInput text and onclick functionality
and i'm totally not familiar with the cfformitem. can you not just do a script tag? Oh yeah, I didn't even see that part. You'll need to use the SCRIPT tag to contain Javascript; the CFFORMITEM tag is used to contain ActionScript for use with Flash forms, among other things, but won't work for placing Javascript within HTML forms.

Re: CFInput text and onclick functionality
You may also want to use onFocus to call this function, as that will get cases where someone tabs into the field as well as cases where they click in. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:253665 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: CFInput text and onclick functionality
so is the script validation a javascript that should be placed outside of the form in a script /script? Then I need to reference it correctly?

RE: CFInput text and onclick functionality
I can't because all of the controls are rendered as flash/flex components. I don't think you can include Javascript at all, then. You will have to use ActionScript instead.

Re: CFInput text and onclick functionality
Scott, As Dave said, if you're using a Flash/Flex form you will need to use Actionscript to control any form elements. The .swf file which is generated to create the form cannot be accessed through the javascript DOM. For what you want to do, you can just include the AS function in the form element. I think something like this is what you're looking for: cfinput type=text name=myinput id=myinput value= onFocus=myinput.text='' / -Jon On Sep 20, 2006, at 3:42 PM, Dave Watts wrote: I can't because all of the controls are rendered as flash/flex components.
