Re: Can I pass variable to a form on the same page?

[charlie griefer]

Mitko: 

You'll need some javascript to accomplish this.  In your form tag, add an 
onSubmit='doFunction()' 

in your doFunction function (and please, feel free to give it a less silly 
name), reference the form fields and change the action of the form. 

to reference the value of a select:
document.formName.selectName.options[document.formName.selectName.selectedIn 
dex].value 

to change the action:
document.formName.action = 'newActionPage.cfm'; 

at the end, submit it using:
document.formName.submit(); 

If you need clarification, contact me offlist and i'll get more specific 
with the code.

 Hello, 
 
 I have a page with a form with two drop down menus -- for state and fiscal year. I 
want the action (target) of the form to be a page whose directory is defined by the 
fiscal year selected and whose file name is defined by the state selected. 
 
 I.e. from select_plan.cfm (the page with the form) I want to be able to go to 
/fy2002/va.cfm if Fiscal Year 2002 and Virginia were selected from the menu options 
in the form. 
 
 I understand that I cannot have the following: 
 
 form action=file=/#fiscalyear#/#statecode#.cfm method=post name=info 
 
 where both fiscalyear and statecode are selected in this same form. 
 
 How can I implement this? 
 
 Thanks in advance, 
 
 Mitko

I highly recommend using CFINCLUDE in a situation like this.  It's much
simpler.

Have your form submit to some action page that simply does this:

CFINCLUDE template=../#form.fiscalyear#/#form.statecode#.cfm

Hello,

I have a page with a form with two drop down menus -- for state and fiscal
year. I want the action (target) of the form to be a page whose directory is
defined by the fiscal year selected and whose file name is defined by the
state selected.

I.e. from select_plan.cfm (the page with the form) I want to be able to go
to /fy2002/va.cfm if Fiscal Year 2002 and Virginia were selected from the
menu options in the form.

I understand that I cannot have the following:

form action=file=/#fiscalyear#/#statecode#.cfm method=post
name=info

where both fiscalyear and statecode are selected in this same form.

How can I implement this?

Thanks in advance,

Mitko
