Re: reading parent form variables
Once you have submitted to the parent page, you could then call the iframe using URL parameters that match your form fields... you submit form fields x and y to the parent page. The parent page then calls the iframe with something like: iframe src=responseframe.cfm?x=#x#y=#y#/iframe I implemented the url variable variety. Thanks everyone for your help! ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:241115 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: reading parent form variables
I have a page with an iframe. That iframe has a form. The action/target on the form replaces the _parent when it submits and goes to a feedback page: http://hhp.umd.edu/events/systems_thinking/q_a_test.cfm On the feedback page there is an iframe. The parent variables can be seen by CF using form.q_1, but I don't see a way to reference them from the CF in that iframe. Current it complains that it doesn't see the variables, but that's cause they're in the parent. How do I reference them? CF will not be able to do this. You can read values from one frame/window into another using JavaScript, but CF can only see the form data that has been posted to it. So, if you want to have those values read, use JavaScript to fetch them from the other frame into your frame directly before you post.

RE: reading parent form variables
How do I reference them? daniel - webtool - Very carefully? Sorry, the only two methods I would see is to either place the form values into an cross request scope such as session, application, server, client or cookie. Or to translate the form variables into JavaScript values that could be read client side. Remember that an iframe, as all frames, is a completely different request, processed separately by ColdFusion. You will need to treat data handling in the same manner as anywhere else you want to pass data from one page request to another. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code.

Re: reading parent form variables
This is how I have learned to it. In this case, my iframe is going to set a value for a form field on the parent window. parent.myForm.myFormField.value='foo'; hth Charles Hanlon Senior Web Applications Developer Food Service Enablers, Inc. www.fsenablers.com The People.
