RE: Save form data before submit
To save the information to a database you would need to submit a cfm page.
On way to do this is with a hidden frame. The onChange event from a form
field in a visible frame could populate a field in a hidden frame and then
submit that page in the hidden frame (which would write the information to a
database, a session variable, or whatever). I've never done this but there
is no reason it shouldn't work.

Something like this? I am using this in a contact form page.
function getperson() {
if (document.Form1.Products.value=="GI") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="HE") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="SP") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="BP") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="MP") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="TS") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="IR") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="HR") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" } if
(document.Form1.Products.value=="SU") {
document.Form1.sendto.value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" }
}
The sendto field is hidden. And the function is called using an OnChange
event from a dropbox.

Is there a way I can save the data from a form field BEFORE the submit
button is pressed? I thought I saw something awhile back that used
javascript to save each line to a db onBlur ? Has anyone done this or have
an idea on how it can be done? Thanks.

RE: Save form data before submit
Paul, You could also consider a more 'low-tech' solution. Store the form values in cookies manipulated entirely client side using javascript. That way you dont need any server side code.

The event which changes the images source would have to be logical though, you wouldn't want to do it every time a form element changed a value. Possibly a time interval? Just an idea.

RE: Save form data before submit
This would be fairly easy to do -- create a hidden frame and set an onBlur or onChange event to change the location of the hidden frame to a .cfm page that processes the request. e.g Then have the processpage.cfm do what you need it to do Tim P. -Original Message- From: Paul Campano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 9:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Save form data before submit Is there a way I can save the data from a form field BEFORE the submit button is pressed?

Re: Save form data before submit
This is one of those things I've always wanted to do, but never get a
chance to...
Basically this is how I would do it.
function getObject(nameStr) {
var ns4 = document.layers ? true : false;
var ie = document.all? true : false;
var dom = document.getElementById && !document.all ? true : false;
if (dom) { return document.getElementById(nameStr); }
if (ie) { return document.all[nameStr]; }
if (ns4) { return document.images[nameStr]; }
}
var dataPipe = getObject('imgDataPipe');
function saveData(fObj) {
field_name = fObj.name;
field_value = fObj.value;
dataPipe.src = "saveFormData.cfm?saveField=" + field_name +
"&value=" + field_value;
}
saveFormdata.cfm:
Typed that as I went, so it probably has a few problems. Should get
you started though. I'll probably reference this post when I actually
get to creating a real onblur save library for myself...so thanks :)
