RE: form processing
You can do a #FORM.FieldName# This is a list of all the
fields passed by a form. I found the following example
somewhere (I would give them credit if I could)
The value of FORM.#ThisField# is #Evaluate("FORM." & ThisField)#

form.fieldnames contains a list all form variables

Look at the file source of the preceding page for etc. There's no way to see server or session variables. You might be able to see the variables in the URL address of the next page ie www.somesite.com/index.cfm?method=display&bookid=75&author=foofoo If it's your site, then open the cfm page. -Original Message- From: Angie Miner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, April 13, 2000 3:02 PM Subject: form processing How can I find out what form variables are being passed to a cfm page? -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body. -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

RE: "Form Processing" Page
This one's kind of tricky and I haven't used it myself, but I've heard it works like a charm... use layers on your page. Have a layer that contains only the "Processing..." image, but hide it under the layer containing the form (using Zindex). Upon clicking the button just change the Zindex of the two layers to swap places. +---+ Bryan Love Macromedia Certified Professional Internet Application Developer Database Analyst Telecomunication Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---+ "...'If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace'..." - Thomas Paine, The American Crisis -Original Message- From: WebMaster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 2:27 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: "Form Processing" Page I have a form that allows users to select from several options, then see reports based on their selections.

Re: "Form Processing" Page
Be very careful with layers though. IE and NS process them differently and it can get real ugly real quick. It's neat when you get it to work, but be ready for the possibility of a testing headache.

Re: "Form Processing" Page
Everyone is required to have IE5.5+, so cross-browser is not an issue. Is there a good resource with examples of how to implement layers in this way?

RE: "Form Processing" Page
There's a system out there called CIZER. It's a report management system which allows you to present PDFs, HTML, Crystal Reports, etc., and can do some rudimentary conversions. You register your report with the system, then it's just a URL link to display the report. As an added bonus, it displays a window with a count down timer while it is processing the reports. If you already have your reports, and don't want to invest the bucks, you can simulate this by posting your info to a new window - sized to be relatively small, and centered maybe. This new window would contain a javascript routine to do some counting or something suitable, and would trigger the actual report. You could open the new report in the countdown window, or in the main window - as long as you have a function called in the onLoad to close/stop the countdown. hope my ramblings help.

RE: "Form Processing" Page
I have that exact code in an application that you can download. It is
called parseDog.
It parses cold fusion applications and looks for pathing and
case-sensitivity issues. While it is parsing through an app, it
displays a
red bar that extends until it is done. This is done using layers.
Your
welcome to download the code and use what you wish it is free and open
source.
