Cftextarea problem

Question

I have a page main.cfm which contains a cflayout using tabs.
One of the tabs displays a page details.cfm, which contains a
cfform with a cftextarea with richtext set to yes.
The submit button runs an update.cfm page, which doesn't
display anything, but instead redirects back to details.cfm after
updating a record in a database.
After you click the submit button the application does its
thing, but displays the following message:
Error: The TEXTAREA with id or name set to
"cf_textarea1233196607205" was not found.
When you click OK the details.cfm page displays in the tab,
with the updated information from the database, but the rich text
editor has gone and been replaced with a default size HTML textarea
control.
I'm new to all this so haven't a clue as to where to look to
fix this, as everything seems to be working right apart from this
particular error.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

in your case that is probably not the way to do a redirect,
since your
page doing the redirect is inside an ajax container.
have you tried using ColdFusion.navigate() function instead?
you may have to write a js function (in your MAIN page - the
one that
has cflayout tags in it) that uses ColdFusion.navigate() to
do the
redirect, and then call that function using <cfset
ajaxonload('name_of_your_js_function')> at the bottom of
your update.cfm
page.
more details on both ColdFusion.navigate() and ajaxonload()
are in the
cfml reference.
