Re: Dynamic Form Fields to Populate An Array/Structure
Okay, Let me break this down a little. Here is what the form elements would look like after the categories were looped over (with just the category and the price fields): input type=checkbox name=category[0] value=1 checkedCompact Disc input size=6 type=text name=price[0] value=3.95br input type=checkbox name=category[1] value=2 checkedDVD-ROM input size=6 type=text name=price[1] value=9.95br input type=checkbox name=category[2] value=3Audio Cassette input size=6 type=text name=price[2] value= br input type=checkbox name=category[3] value=4Video Tape input size=6 type=text name=price[3] value=br How could I take this and make it a structure that I could pass to a component that would loop through the results and enter each record into the database? -Aaron On 2/2/06, Aaron Roberson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: List, What I am attempting to do is display all available categories for a given product on an update page.

RE: Dynamic form fields calendars
Are you adding a table row? If so, the createElement method does not
work for tablerows in IE. Look at for example: insertRow methods which
have been described in the MSDN.

Subject: OT: Dynamic form fields calendars
I'm working on a calendar project for work, as mentioned previously.
I've been toying with JS CSS to do the event editor and the part I'm
stuck on is how to dynamically add jscalendar buttons. IE just doesn't
like me doing what I do, so I've been trying to get it working in
Firefox first.
In case you haven't used jscalendar before, you simply link in a few JS
CSS files, add a text field (to store the date) and button (to launch
the calendar popup) and the following JS:
Calendar.setup(
{
inputField : 'date'+eventCount,
ifFormat : %m%d%y,
button : 'date'+eventCount+'_button'
}
);
The 'eventCount' part dynamically links to dynamically created text
fields buttons named e.g. date1 and date1_button respectively.
I've got a button that says add another date which creates a new date2
text field and date2_button button then runs the JS above with the new
names.
The problem is that after adding a new row only the new row's calendar
button works, the others stop working.
I thought it was because I had multiple calendars on the same page, but
I have another (static) page that has three calendars on it, and they
all work just fine.
Any ideas what I should look for, or failing that, anyone have a
suggestion on something else for me to try?
Thanks.

The characters [ and ], like all characters other than letters, numbers and underscores, aren't valid within variable names. If you want to work around this without changing your form field names (though, personally, I'd recommend changing your field names myself), you can probably just use the fact that the Form scope is a structure: #Form[name[1]]# I haven't tried this myself, though.

Re: Dynamic form fields
Looks to me like you're trying to handle form fields the same way you can in PHP. In PHP, giving a form name[1] makes it part of an array on the next page. However, ColdFusion will not handle form variables this way - instead of an array called form.name, it would see a variable called form.name[1], form.name[2], etc (which are invalid variable names). Rather than trying to index your forms via arrays, try ColdFusion list handling functions: on your first page: form ... cfoutput query=something input type=hidden name=itemid value=#id# input type=hidden name=form.name value=#name# /cfoutput /form this creates two lists, form.itemid and form.name - they will be in synch, and can serve the same purpose as form element arrays in PHP: cfif listFind(form.itemid,getids.id) cfoutput#listGetAt(form.name,listFind(form.itemid,getids.id))#/cfoutput /cfif - Original Message - From: Bruce, Rodney (Contractor) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 1:15 PM Subject: Dynamic form fields hello all Hope you can help with a little problem.

RE: Dynamic form fields
First off, I don't know if CF willbe happy with form fields named with
that syntax. I know PHP uses that syntax, but I can't promise it will
work in CF... but... try it. :)
Secondly, please, please, please do _not_ use Evaluate to get dynamic
form fields. Remember that form fields are stored in a structure. You
can rewrite
#evaluate('form.name[#getids.id#]')#
as:
Form[name[#getids.ids#]]
Not only will the code be quicker, it will also be much easier to read.
