Passing form variables

HI~
I have a cfform on my index.cfm page, and the action is set
to go to a confirm.cfm page. On that page, I want the user to be
able to look at the information they entered into the form, and
then hit "Submit" if it is correct. Right now, I am able to display
the form information on the confirm.cfm page, but I'm having a hard
time with my insert statement. Right now, when I hit the final
Submit button, an entry is made in the database, but none of the
variables are passed. I'm guessing this is because of the cfparam
default="" setting, but I don't know what else to set it as-- if I
try to set it as semester or form.semester, it says it is not
defined. Please help! Thanks!

try using <input type="hidden" ...> instead of
<cfinput ...> - i seem to
recall there being issues with hidden cfinput fields...
also - where's your closing </cfif>??? it should be
after </cfquery> - i
hope it is actually there...
just to make sure semester is passed from first form, you can
put
<cfoutput>#form.semester#</cfoutput> right after
your <cfparam>
NOTE: you do not really need that <cfparam> there... it
does not do
anything... unless you are planning to use it later for
validation
routines... i wonder if it may be tampering with the semester
value...
it shouldn't, but who knows...

CAN I PASS FORM VARIABLES TO THE DATABASE PROCEDURE IN PERSONALIZATION

When I try to use form variable in the database procedure call from personalization I get the attached error.
Under forms personalization
From Actions tab --> builtin --> Execute Procedure when I call a database procedure and pass one of the form variable as parameter I get "ora-01008 couldn't be validate" error
Can we pass on form variables to the database package using personalization ? If yes, then is this the right way?

I tried customizing the Quoting Form, it works.
What you have done is correct, but this is how you call it
='begin
db_proc('''||${item.qothddet_main.quote_name.value}||''');
end'
here
qothddet_main : block name
quote_name : item name

Passing form variables in a single form

I am trying to make a form to select a starting and ending
month for a event search.
I have 2 list boxes populated with the months, but I want the
second box to begin from the first selection.
So if the user selects may in the first box, the second box
should list from may to december.
Is there any way to pass a form variable to another field
inside the same form?
I want to use a conditional <cfloop> to populate the
second box like <cfloop from= #variableA# to= 12>
then have the <options> inside the loop.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...this one has
me stumped!

You can do it with javascript. Google related selects, there
are lot's of examples out there.
What happens if the user selects December in the 1st
box?

Passing FORM variables through CFSET

I am writing an account creation page for my site. After the
user inputs the required information, I would like to 1. confirm
that their email is not a duplicate of another user 2. Pass them
off to another page that allows them to confirm the information
that they input and submit the info to the database. I would like
to have the email confirmed on that page through passing the
FORM.email variable to the #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#. If the RecordCount on
the query for duplicate email addresses comes back VALUE=0, use
CFLOCATION to pass to the next page with the FORM variables intact.
However, as forms can only have one action attribute, what is the
best way to do this, in your opinion?
Thanks so much for your help!
dan

use session var to store form data:
- user submits form.
- form posts to same page (to itself).
- check for duplicate email
- if no duplicate found, copy form to a sesion var and
cflocate to next
page; if duplicate found show error to user
- on next page display user-submitted data from the session
var
make sure session vars are enabled in cf administrator and
sessionmanagement is enabled in your appliction.cfm/cfc

Using HTML, what happens to form variables on submit?

If I create a simple AIR app that has two files, lets say index.html and next.html, how would I pass form variables from one page to the next since there is no server side scripting?
Can it be done via javascript somehow, by maybe saving the variables from the first page and then retreiving them on the second?
Here a sample of what I am trying to accomplish:
index.html
<html>
<body>
<form method="GET" action="next.html" name="theName">
Name:
<input type="text" name="textField">
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submitButton">
</form>
</body>
</html>
next.html
<html>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Passing Form Vars to a CFC

I am trying to pass Form variables to a CFC. Yes, the CFC
works being called from Flex, with no arguments, but being new to
Flex I am not sure how to post the values in the form fields back
to the CFC. So my questions are:
1) how do you reference form variables. They are all enclosed
in a form tag, and then by form item tags, I have a variety of
types of inputs
2) How do you pass that information to the cfc? Currently I
am using this code: getSearch.getSearch.send({values:vals});
In an attempt to pass an array full of values to the CFC.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Rob

I know exactly where you are coming from...LOL..
I was there too. Here is what you can do to make it easy on
you.
You wrap them in an object.... It is as simple as that.
say that you have multiple form items.
if you are using a data typed object ( I recommend it) you
would do something like this to pass form data to a cfc
// This creates a data typed object called object.
var obj:AS01Phone = new AS01Phone;
//Populate the data typed object with your form data
obj.UserID = Number(userid);
obj.PhoneType = String(_phoneType.selectedItem.KeyValue);
obj.DialCode = Number(_dialCode.selectedItem.DialCode);
// Now send it to the cfc for processing
// [RemoteObject.method(object);]
roPhone.save(obj);

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>

//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME

easier one way over another, let's go that way) is passed to the
last page, where a PayPal button will appear based on the value of
the form variable. I am using ASP javascript and an Access
database.
Thanks.

Either store the variable in a hidden field in the
intermediate forms,
or use a session variable.

How to pass Applet form variables without showing it on top ?

I am running one applet with some form variables. After submit I want to pass those to .asp file to store into database.
If I use URL method then all are getting displayed on URL location of browser which I do not want. I want to pass many form variables to another .asp file, so it may not be good also.
What is the best way of doing it ? Need urgent help about it.

Well If you create a POST request instead as a GET request the variables will not show up in the URL.

How can I pass a variable between JSP and Role Form

I need to pass a variable from (a copy of) applicationmodify.jsp to the IDM Role Form so that the variable is available within the Role Form at display. We've tried getAttribute and setAttribute modifying both the Role Form and the applicationmodify JSP and can get the form to the role form but not accessible but have had no other success. Has anyone had any success in doing this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

if by _root level you mean you're loading something into

Form Variables Don't Pass for Some Clients

Recently, I’ve noticed some problems on one of my pages
where form field variables aren’t passing to my action page.
As far as I can tell, this is a new problem.
This is the error I’m getting:
Error resolving parameter FORM.EMAIL
The specified form field cannot be found. This problem is
very likely due to the fact that you have misspelled the form field
name.
The error is thrown when a cfquery is unable to find the form
variable.
The query looks, basically, like this:
<cfquery name="Iogin" datasource="dsn">
SELECT Count(*) AS Match
FROM Users
WHERE users.email = '#FORM.email#'
AND users.password = '#FORM.password#';
</cfquery>
I know I could squash these errors with a cfparam or with
other error checking, but what I’m really concerned about is
why the form variables aren’t there. I have tested the form
on a number of my internal clients and have not been able to
replicate the error as it is being triggered from outside clients.
I am able to submit a blank form or a complete form without any
errors being thrown. I have established that the form submissions
are coming from my site and are not being submitted by an outside
domain.
QUESTIONS:
1. Does anyone know what might be happening to cause the form
variable to disappear? Shouldn’t all the forms variables be
submitted when a user hits the submit button, regardless of whether
there is data in the form field?
2. Could a firewall on the clients’ end be withholding
the form variables without notifying the user?
3. Have there been any recent changes to browsers that could
be holding back form variables?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Azadi
quote:
from your posts it looks like this happens to different forms
in your application (you mentioned the email field and also a
select box, which is presumably in some other form)
I was able to resolve the problem with the second form (the
one with the select box, not the one posted above). A JavaScript
resided on that action page which triggers a service. The service
(similar to GoogleAds) receives the page’s url from the
JavaScript and then the service comes back and loads the page to
evaluate the page’s content. The result: Action pages being
loaded with no form content. My error reporting, very similar to
what insuractive suggested, helped solve this problem.
HOWEVER, we still periodically have trouble with the other
form. I know from speaking with at least two users that the problem
is a direct result of users following the planned application
flow—form to action page. So this discussion is still
relevant.
@insuractive
quote:
you should make sure you test to see what happens when the
client has javascript and/or cookies disabled on their browser.
This is a good thought. I’m embarrassed to say that I
haven’t tried accessing this form with cookies and JavaScript
turned off. I will try this and report back.
Thanks to all of you who are offering suggestions.
