Re: Captupturing Form Elements
Lee, The very act of passing the form variables is automated by the forms action and method. I don't understand what else your trying to accomplish once they get there. Are you just trying to list them out on the action page? MORE INPUT MORE INPUT, NEED MORE INPUT! LOL Fred Sanders Galveston, Texas The classically-music-minded among us may have noted a new TV ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem. -- "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen --- while the chorus sings, "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis..." -- This translates to "The damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of hell."

Re: Captupturing Form Elements
if you're using 4.5, form variables are automatically in a structure (named FORM) that always exists - it's just empty if there is no form submission. what i would suggest is on your action page, just do a StructKeyList(FORM) which will give you a list of all the keys (the formfield names). from that you will be able to get the form values. this is the same idea as brian set out below, but it works with a structure instead of a list which i would think would work more quickly. -emily Brian Peddle wrote: > > You can loop over all the fieldnames submitted: > > > > Put whatever processing on the fieldnames you need here > > > -- Original Message -- > From: "Lee Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 09:36:42 -0400 > > >Hello all. > I have a work page that may recieve form submission from several different > pages.

Re: Captupturing Form Elements
WDDX wont parse and evaluate the form field elements, but it seems it would make a for an easy way to pass the elements on to the next template, as the poster's message indicated that the next cfm/page wouldnt be processing them. Also it seems it would depend on what ver of CFAS the poster is using to determine the best solution, AND what needs to be done with the form elements and there values - ultimately. but if... CFAS 4.5, and the next template just needs to pass on the form elements to a following template - wddx seems it might be a good tool. then make a hidden form field name in the next template where the value is "yourvarnamehere" and pass it along...

RE: Captupturing Form Elements
Well, if I understand it correctly... CF 4.5 stores the FORM elements as a structure. Since you are able to convert structures and other complex data into WDDX packets as they do in Spectra, you should be able to do this. Now, I think it was not until 4.5 that Allaire coverted the FORM,URL and etc. to structures. So, I think you might be out of luck with it in CF 4.0. There is a petty good article in CF Developer's Journal Volume 2: Issue 2 about this topic. The article title is "Improving Web Page Usability with Wizards" by Daniel Jean. It might help you out.
