bind

[kt03]

I have two text boxes

1.  First text box is defaulted to the curent date + 5 business days. 

2.  When i pick the date from the second text box, I want the date in the fisrt text box = date in second text box + 5 business days.

The code i have below is currently working fine but the fist fidn't added 5 business days because i don't know how to add into it from txt2.

How can I accomplish it?

<!---cfm--->

<cfparam name="currentdate" default="#businessDaysAdd(now(),5))#">

<cfform name="fform">

   txt1: <cfinput type="datefield" value="#dateformat(current, "mm/dd/yyyy")#" name="txt1" bind="cfc:app.home.cfc.bu.getfinaldate({txt2@change})">

   txt2: <cfinput type="datefield" name="txt2" value="">

</cfform>

<!---cfc--->

</cfcomponent>

<cffunction name="getfinaldate" access="remote">

        <cfargument name="txt2">

         <cfreturn "#arguments.txt2#">

    </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

Thanks

In your cfc, use parsedate to convert the text to a date, then use dateadd to add the five days and dateformat to convert it back to a string.

Note you have a typo: 2 closing component tags. In any case, the following should work

<cfform name="fform">

<!--- Set bindOnload to yes, making the bind to take effect the moment the page is loaded. --->

<cfinput type="datefield"  name="txt1" bind="cfc:app.home.cfc.bu.getFinalDate({txt2})" bindOnload="yes">

<cfinput type="datefield" name="txt2">

</cfform>

bu.cfc

<cfcomponent>

<cffunction name="getFinalDate" access="remote" returntype="string">

        <cfargument name="dateArg">

        <!--- If argument undefined or not a date, then default to date of today --->

        <cfif (not isDefined("arguments.dateArg")) or (not isDate(arguments.dateArg))>

            <cfset var dt = now()>

        <cfelse>

            <cfset var dt = parseDateTime(arguments.dateArg)>

        </cfif>

        <!--- Add 5 days--->

        <cfset var updatedDt = dateAdd("d",5,dt)>

        <!--- Format --->

        <cfset var formattedDt = dateformat(updatedDt, "mm/dd/yyyy")>

         <cfreturn formattedDt>

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>
