How to get a form entry with index ?

Question

Guys:
I have a form and I submit data through this form.  Upon clicking a submit button, I want to get the data that a user entered.  Please review the following ColdFusion code to see what I mean:
for (i = 1; i LTE ArrayLen(cateNodes); i++) {
      itemNodes = cateNodes[i].item;
      for (j = 1; j LTE ArrayLen(itemNodes); j++) {
          if (IsDefined("FORM.submit_#i##j#")) {
             item = "FORM.item_" & i & j & "_sm";
             writeoutput(#item#);
This form has multiple submit buttons.  Suppose that the "submit_ij" button is clicked, I want to be able to get the value that a user entered for item_ij_sm.  For example, I want to get the value entered for
#FORM.item_21_sm#
Instead displaying the value that the user entered for item_21_sm, it displayed FORM.item_21_sm.  And, I can see why it did that.  It's because FORM.item_21_sm is a string.  It would have been very easy without the indecies.
I'm a ColdFusion newbie.  Any recommendation is appreciated !  Thanks a lot !

Answer 1

Guys:  I would like to thank for your recommendation using HTML selection instead of multiple submit buttons and I will seriously consider this.  However, this is not the point of my question.  The point is that, for example, how do I get user's input for
#FORM.item_21_sm#
The difficult thing here is how to insert the two indeces i and j into item_.  If you spend your time and follow my example, you'll see that it does not work.  It does not display the value entered by the user for item_21.  Instead, it displays FORM.item_21_sm.  It would have been extremely easy without the indecies i and j because #FORM.item# works as expected.  So, the question here is that, if I have multiple items and if I don't use HTML selection/option, how can this be handled in ColdFusion ?  Please see my original post for details.  Thanks so much.
