Cfselect within a cfgridcolumn

Is there a way to combine a <cfselect> within a <cfgridcolumn> in a <cfgrid> table?
Here's what I'm looking to do. I would have a <cfgrid> with First Name, Last Name and then a column with States. The States column within the <cfgrid> would be popluated by a query listing all the states.
<cfgrid>
First Name     Last Name    State
John               Doe              AL (dropdown list of states)
Jane               Doe              MO (dropdown list of states)
</cfgrid>

You can't do it with a key. You have to use the little magnifier thing to get the cursor to the left of the letter. Put your finger on the word, and hold it for a moment, and small magnifying glass appears. You can the roll your finger to get the cursor to move.

Cfbind within a cfselect - How to have multiple values in display propery?

I am binding a cfselect tag to a CFC, it's working as expected but I want to have more than one value populating the display="" part of the 2nd cfselect.The CFC returns a query of company information based off of the activty_id sent in.
This is what I currently have (roughly):
<cfajaxproxy cfc="mysite.templates.cfc.companies">
(this is working fine)
<cfselect name="activity_id" bind="cfc:mysite.templates.cfc.companies.fncActivity()" display="activity_name" value="activity_id" bindonload="yes" />
Here's where I want to display more than one value. This works as shown below but I want display="company_name company_city company_state" in the cfselect instead.
<cfselect name="company_id" bind="cfc:mysite.templates.cfc.companies.fncCompany({activity_id})" display="company_name" value="company_id" />
In debugging the CFC I am getting this returned:
Bind failed for select box company_id, columns matching the value or display attributes specified on the cfselect tag are not present in the query
Is this possible?

The display attribute can only reference a single column. Concatentate the values together under a single column in your query. Then use the new column name in your bind.

Default values within cfgridcolumn

Hi,
I was wondering whether or not there is a way to pass a
default value into a <cfgridcolumn> whenever a new row is
inserted. I am using <cfgridupdate> and I need to pass a
foreign key ID based on the usersID alongside any data they enter
into the record. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Just in case anyone else is having this problem, I have
managed to solve it.
Not sure if it was the "Correct" way to solve it but it
works.
I needed to pass a foreign key value (based on the users
login) as a default value into each new record in the DataGrid. The
method i used was to create a hidden text box on the page, i passed
the variable into the text box and then used the following code to
bind it to the record.
onchange="gridMainBusinessObjectives.dataProvider.editField(gridMainBusinessObjectives.sel ectedIndex,'companyID',hidCompanyID.text);"
The above code is part of the grids onChange event
"hidCompanyID" is the name of the hidden text box containing
my foreign key
I hope this can be of some use to anyone who is having the
same problem I was having.

Cfselect (format="flash") doesn't render with addition of "onChange" attribute

The following code renders fine without the "onChange"
attribute, but when I add the "onChange" attribute it no longer
appears on the screen. I'm new to <cfform>, so any help would
be appreciated!
<cfselect name="select_project"
label="Select Project"
query="qMenuWrProject"
value="work_rqst_nbr"
display="display_desc"
required="yes"
multiple="no"
width="500"
onChange="this.form.submit();"
/>

Let me put it another way.
open the page in FF
right-click within the document and choose View Page Source
in the pop-up window, click ../SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js
You will see
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

This means that the document cannot be found.
I could also put it another way by translating ../SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js as http://www.tc.umn.edu/SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js
click on the latter and see what happens

Cfgrid prepopulate cfselect

I have trouble prepolualting cfselect in the flash form. When
i click on the cfgrid I want specific drop down to be prepopulated
(i have 18 of them) based on the type.
Here is my cfgrid
<cfgrid name="myGrid" query="tempQuery" height="445"
width="200" rowheaders="false" onchange="#getComboBoxValue#">
<cfif menuQuery.menuID is not lloc>
<cfgridcolumn name="menuID" header="menuID" display="no"
/>
<cfgridcolumn name="label" header="label" />

<cfset lloc= menuQuery.menuID>
</cfif>
</cfgrid>
And here is the drop downs
<cfloop index="i" list="#lLIst#">
<cfscript>
LoadaccessLevelType =
createObject("component","Erik.maintenace").LoadaccessLevelType(#i#);
</cfscript>
<cfselect query="LoadaccessLevelType" value="accessLevel"
display="description" name="access#i#" width="200"
label="#LoadaccessLevelType.display#"/>
</cfloop>
Where lList is number from 1 to 18.
My actionScript is here
<cfsavecontent variable="getComboBoxValue">
<cfloop query="TempQuery">
<cfif TempQuery.accessType neq ''>
//Set a temp variable to hold the current comboBox value
var temp1;
//Loop through all the comboBox values
for(var i = 0; i < access#accessType#.length; i++){
//if (myGrid.selectedItem.accessType == temp1) {
//set the comboBox to the current index
access#accessType#.selectedIndex=i;
//set temp to the value of the comboBox
temp1=access#accessType#.value;
//if temp equals the selected clientID then stop looping
through the comboBox
if(temp1==myGrid.selectedItem.accessValue){
break;
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfsavecontent >

There are too many things going on: function call on an
object instance, actionscript function stored in a variable and the
grid itself. It is difficult to debug. I would start by using an
actual query to test the code.

Bind in form works with cfinput, how to with cfselect and a href

Hi all
This code workks binding a cfinput in an HTML cfform:
Name:<cfinput type="text" name="FIRSTNAME" label="Name" required="yes" width="150" bind="{UsersGrid.FIRSTNAME}" >
However this href doesn't seem to bind correctly:
<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q={UsersGrid.COMPANY}&btnK=" bind="{UsersGrid.COMPANY}">Google.com</a>
This cfselect doesn't either:
Department: <cfselect name="DEPARTMENT1" width="100" size="1" label="Department" required="yes" bind="UsersGrid.DEPARTMENT1">
<option></option><cfoutput query="dNames"><option value="#DEPARTMENTIDS#">#DEPARTMENTNOM#</option></cfoutput>
</cfselect>
How can I make them both work? Thank you

Sure, Aaaron here it is, it uses the same database tables and datasource as in the other thread:

where company.SECTORS1 = industries.SECTORSIDS
<cfif structKeyExists(url,"sectorid")>
and industries.SECTORSIDS = #url.sectorid#</cfif>
and division.DEPARTMENTIDS = company.DEPARTMENT1
and company.WHEN = 2
ORDER BY company</cfquery>
<cfquery name="dNames" datasource="tester">
    select DEPARTMENTIDS, DEPARTMENTNOM
    from division
order by DEPARTMENTNOM</cfquery>

Cfselect data binding with statically defined options

I am having some trouble getting statically defined options
to remain in my cfselects when I use binding in CF8
I have four cfselects: Continent, Country, State/Province,
County
The continent select is populated by a list in a database,
and each subsequent select is populated depending on the continent
value (your run-of-the-mill related select box model).
I have a form that allows a user to edit an existing record
that uses these select boxes. The form is populated with data from
that existing record - for example, a record in which
Continent=North America, Country=United States, State=Montana, and
County=Meagher
The problem is that when I define a static option based on
what's already in the database:
<cfselect name="continentSelect"
bind="cfc:CF_Classes.places.getContinents()" bindonload="true">
<option value="#
defined continent name#" selected="selected">
defined continent name</option>
</cfselect>
the static option is displayed only momentarily while the
query is running and then disappears completely from the box once
the box is populated. I have got the option to stay when I turn
"bindonload" off, but even then when I trigger the binding the
option disappears. I have been able to get it to stay when I use
the old method of defining a query to populate the box, but then I
lose the binding ability in subsequent boxes so that options I
don't want to show are displayed (i.e. something like
Continent=North America, Country=Japan).
Maybe there isn't a way around this, but there is an example
of this type of thing in the CFML reference for CF8. I haven't
tested it so I don't know if that one works or not. Am I missing
something?

Hi,
There are a couple of ways you can do this. One is where the dropdown would change the presence of static text objects. The other would be where the dropdown would set the actual text within a textfield.
Sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=k2tAeWMsKS0pEbhmWt33oA
Good luck,
Niall

Cfloop within select causes Dreamweaver to crash

Placing a cfloop tag within a select (or cfselect) tag causes
Dreamweaver to crash when the mouse is clicked anywhere within the
code window. Code as below:
(Code attached)
The cfloop was going to be used to produce additional option
elements. The option element values were to be taken from the list.
Dreamweaver won't even let you edit the statement out or
comment it because it crashes as soon as you click to place the
curser within the code window.

You haven't really resolved the problem, but delayed it for
another day.
To avoid the risk of future crashes, I recommend that you
delete
WinFileCache-********.dat after closing Dreamweaver down for
the day. A
clean version of the file will be generated automatically
when you next
use DW.

Creating form element from within a component

Hi all,
I am trying to create a form element within a component
function which is then called from a .cfm page which has the cfform
tags. I keep getting a context validation error for the form
element tag. Here is some sample code:
<cfcomponent name="yourComponent">
<cffunction name="createTag" returntype="string"
access="public">
<cfsavecontent variable="returnContent">
<cfselect name="thisSelect">
<option value="0">Value 1</option>
</cfselect>
</cfsaveconten>
<cfreturn returnContent>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
And in the .cfm page:
<cfform>
<cfinvoke component="yourComponent" method="createTag"
returnVariable="returnContent"/>
<cfoutput>#returnContent#</cfoutput>
</cfform>
The error occurs in the function and it says the cfselect
must be within a cfform. I tried the function without the save
content and just set the output="yes" but the same error occurs.
Any help appreciated in how to get around this. Just putting
the code in the .cfm is not an option for this.
Any help appreciated.

After some further investigation, I found out that a regular

ColdFusion wants it directly within the <cfform> tag.
Something does not make sense. If the cfsavecontent worked in
the cfm file, there is no reason for it not to work in a cfc.
If you want to persue this, the next troubleshooting step is
to copy the function to your cfm file and see if it works. I
suspect that you are trying something simple as a proof of concept.

Multiple CFFORMs in a page w/ binding CFSELECTS

Howdy all.
I have a page that has two CFFORMs, each uniquely named (form1 & form2 for example).
Each form is essentially the same - each one has a cfselect with States pulled from a common query and also has a bound cfselect that shows the Area Codes for that chosen state. Both cfselect elements are called "State" and "AreaCode" respectively. I do not wish to change the name of the cfselect elements.
{cfform name="form1"}
     {cfselect name="State" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getStates()" bindonload="yes" }
     {cfselect name="AreaCode" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getAreaCodes(state={form1:State})" bindonload="yes" }
{ /cfform }
{cfform name="form2"}
     {cfselect name="State" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getStates()" bindonload="yes" }
     {cfselect name="AreaCode" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getAreaCodes(state={form2:State})" bindonload="yes" }
{ /cfform }
The problem is, if I switch the state select in form2, *form1*'s AreaCode gets the bound response instead of form2.
Is there a way to expressly tell CF to "stay within its own form" for the binding?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I spoke too soon. It works for the latest FireFox, but not with IE8.
I've modified the form slightly to:
{cfform name="form1"}
     {cfselect id="State" name="State" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getStates()" bindonload="yes" }
     {cfselect id="AreaCode" name="AreaCode" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getAreaCodes(state={form1:State})" bindonload="yes" }
{ /cfform }
{cfform name="form2"}
     {cfselect id="State2" name="State" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getStates()" bindonload="yes" }
     {cfselect id="AreaCode2" name="AreaCode" bind="cfc:path.to.cfc.getAreaCodes(state={form2:State2})" bindonload="yes" }
{ /cfform }
I fired up the AJAX Logger on IE8 to try to see what's going on.
If I switch the state on form1, the AreaCode field in form1 is NOT populated correctly, and the logger seems to indicate that it's pushing the values to the second form.
If I switch the state on form2, AreaCode2 IS populated correctly.
Darn you, Internet Explorer!
Any further suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Outputting one cfselect fine now two

Hi all,
I am using coldfusion cfform in flash format -maybe this is
the place to come for an actionscript question. The cfgrid tag
works fine for one field the "state" field output with cfselect
with the following onchange actionscript:
<cfform format="Flash" skin="haloblue">
<cfgrid name="UsersGrid" format="Flash"
query="qNames" rowheaders="No"
onchange="for (var i:Number = 0; i<state.length; i++) {if
(state.getItemAt(
).data == UsersGrid.selectedItem.state) state.selectedIndex =
i}">
What I want to get is
onchange="for (var i:Number = 0; i<state.length; i++) {if
(state.getItemAt().data == UsersGrid.selectedItem.state)
state.selectedIndex = i}"
AND
onchange="for (var i:Number = 0; i<meetingtime.length;
i++) {if (meetingtime.getItemAt(
).data == UsersGrid.selectedItem.meetingtime)
meetingtime.selectedIndex = i}">
so I can connect to my meetingtime field and db field. I just
don´t know how , thank you for any help.

A similar thing happened to me. My MacBook went in two weeks ago because the built-in iSight was failing intermittently. It spent some time at the repair depot waiting for a main logic board.
I got the call this morning that it was back at the local Apple Store.
The clerk brought it out from the storeroom, I pressed the power button, and was treated to a weird display of multi-colored vertical lines.
Now, the MacBook is on its way back to the repair depot to see what's wrong now.
The only small consolation is that I've learned Apple's term for such not-quite-repaired machines. I'm the proud owner of a "looper."

CF11 - CFGRID & CFSELECT binding issue

We just upgraded to CF11 and one of our apps had pieces stop functioning. We have figured out most of it, however one of our cfgrids is having issues. When the page is loaded the cfgrid hits the CFC that is specified in the bind settings (passes in the default employee ID of 0 and returns no data). When we select an employee name from the dropdown menu, we receive a 400 error saying the page can't be found. When the select is changed, it looks like it reverts to the root path instead of the cfc specific in the bind argument. Does anyone have any idea on the direction we should go to fix this? The exact same code works on CF8... but is completely broken on CF11.
Thanks for your help.

BKBK Sorry for the confusion... we set an array for the arguments, below is the full block of code.
<cfform id="evaluation" name="evaluation">
<div style="height:30px; margin-top:10px;">
<div style=" margin-right:10px; float:left;">
<cfselect name="employee" query="EmployeeList" value="affiliateID" display="empName" queryPosition="below">
<option value="0" selected="selected">--- Select an employee ---</option>
</cfselect>
</div>
</div>
<cfset args = structNew()>
<cfset args.name = "ExistingEvals">
<cfset args.format = "html">
<cfset args.bindOnLoad = "true">
<cfset args.bind = "cfc:empEval.getCompletedEvals({cfgridpage},{cfgridpagesize},{cfgridsortcolumn},{cfgridso rtdirection},{employee})">
<cfset args.stripeRows = true>
<cfset args.selectColor = "##D9E8FB">
<cfset args.selectmode = "row">
<cfset args.selectOnLoad = "false">
<cfset args.autowidth = "no">
<cfset args.width = "335px">
<cfset args.pageSize = "6">
<cfset args.height = "200px">

CFGRID/CFSELECT/ActionScript problem

I have CFGRID "onchange" code below that allows me to click
on a CFGRID row and correctly display (in a separate CFFORMGROUP)
the correct column value in via a CFSELECT object. The field name
is
priority and the grid name is
tasks_grid.
Works fine, but my problem is that I've been unable to get
this to work on non-integer fields. If the field contains a text
string, no matter how small, the ActionScript "if" statements don't
seem to produce results. Could it be incorrect use of the ==
operator? I'm not an AS programmer, so I'm unfortunately on the low
end of the learning curve here.
I hope the above makes sense. Any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated.

So far the best solution seems to be to create an array for
each such field that creates a new query column containing the text
data. I then reference the new "text" column ("priorityText", in
this instance) via CFGRIDCOLUMN and use the original "integer"
column (i.e., the actual field data) for the ActionScript matching
code in the child form. The array code is from another post, in the
Rich Forms forum, I believe.

cfselect not working with flash form

I have searched the forum and google to find a solution -
I've tried what's been suggested (ie - mappings of /CFIDE, adding
/CFIDE to the site root, etc.) nothing has worked. This is only
happening in my production boxes (two identical setups, running in
parallel) -
The form loads, but any options I define inside
<cfselect> will not show.. here's the basic code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfform name="theForm" format="Flash" width="300"
height="200" accessible="yes">
<cfselect label="Type: " name="feedbackType" width="200"
enabled="yes" required="yes">
<option value="">Select</option>
<option value="WEB">Our Website</option>
<option value="ACCOUNT">Your Account</option>
<option value="COMPLAINT">A Complaint</option>
<option value="GENERAL">General Comment</option>
<option value="OTHER">Other</option>
</cfselect>
</cfform>
</body>
</html>
Same code works on my localhost (development box) - so I'm
sure it's some setting I'm missing or messed up in the production
servers. I have checked the IIS settings as well as the mappings in
CF admin, both have /CFIDE defined. I've even added a mapping to
the /CFIDE within the site root.
I'm currently running CFMX 7.0.2 on Server 2003 with IIS 6
Please help!!

More info...
When I call the page locally...
http://flush/testFlash.cfm
the form works perfectly.
but when I call the page using the domain...
http://www.mydomain.com/testFlash.cfm
the <cfselect> will not work.
