usage of cftextarea and get value

Sep 13, 2011 10:24 AM

I used the cftextarea to get the FCK editor, like :

<cftextarea name="txt_h_1" message="Insérer le texte d'Accueil !" height="400" width="700" disabled="No" required="Yes" toolbaronfocus="No" bindonload="No" html="No" enabled="Yes" visible="Yes" richtext="Yes" toolbar="Basic" skin="silver">#get_param.txt_home_1#</cftextarea>

 

So the name of the element is : TXT_H_1

 

Ans when I want to save the content via an update query, it says that :

Element TXT_H_1 is undefined in FORM

 

All other FORM elements are well returned.

 

then how to get the value of the cftextarea ?

 

(I used a CFFORM with <input> inside instead of <cfinput>)

 

thanks for answer.

Pierre.

    What are you looking at to determine that you got every form element except the textarea?

    After the form submit,

    I expect to get all form.xxx elements

    i have all except the one from the cftextarea

    which should be : #form.txt_h_1#

     

    The cftextarea name is : txt_h_1

     

    This is the way I get all other fields values entered in the form.

     

    Thanks for your participation.

    Pierre.

    Here's the cause of the trouble: disabled="No" enabled="Yes".

    The browser probably disables the textarea the moment it encounters the word 'disabled'.  In any case, it is repetition to use the attribute 'disabled' as well as 'enabled'. In fact you could omit both!

    Strange behaviour,

    I removed : disabled="No" enabled="Yes"

    did not help.

    I removed : toolbaronfocus="No"

     

    And it worked. (under CF8)

     

    I put again these 3 parameters to ensure.

    And it works again now. (very strange)

     

    I will see at next usage, what is the behaviour.

     

    The same file under CF9 does not work, just display the textearea ?

    (no FCK editor toolbar). I am lost.

    There is a Javascript error : "Coldfusion undefined"

    But my sites are on disk D: and Coldfusion is on disk C:

    It seems this is the preoblem, i do not know how to solve this.

     

     

    Thanks for your participation and comments and help.

    Pierre.

    Here is the test code that worked for me:

     

    <cfif isdefined("form.txt_h_1")>

    <cfdump var="#form#">

    </cfif>

     

    <cfset get_param.txt_home_1 = "blah blah blah">

    <cfform>

    <cftextarea name="txt_h_1" message="Insérer le texte d'Accueil !" height="400" width="700"  required="Yes" toolbaronfocus="No" bindonload="No" html="No" visible="Yes" richtext="Yes" toolbar="Basic" skin="silver"><cfoutput>#get_param.txt_home_1#</cfoutput></cftextarea >

     

    <cfinput name="sbmt" type="submit" value="send">

    </cfform>

    Thanks, seems to work now.

     

    My problem now is under CF9  :

    my sites are on disk D:  and Coldfusion is on disk C:

     

    And the FCK toolbar does not appear.

    there is something to do somewhere about FCKeditor location,

    I presume in CF admin.

     

    Any Idea ?

    Thanks again.

    Pierre.

    The system files for the FCKEditor are in \CFIDE\scripts\ajax\FCKeditor\. What happens when you copy that directory to your site? If it works, then you should find a way to make the CFIDE directory accessible to your site. It could be that, unbeknownst to you, other functionalities besides FCK are not available to your site.

    I copied the CFIDE on the disk D:/wwwroot

    (where are all sites)

    but no change.

     

    If I copied the CFIDE (all files) in a website root, it does work.

    rep_serveur.jpg

     

    But I cannot make a copy of CFIDE for each site,  (all  CXXXX / www)

    then I need a way to tell somewhere how to reach the CFIDE location.

    I can eventually make a single copy of it in the D:/wwwroot

    Do you think this can be managed in the CF admin ?

    I will think more about it.

     

    Thanks for any idea.

    Pierre.

    Yes, you should copy CFIDE to the web root.

     

    But I cannot make a copy of CFIDE for each site,  (all  CXXXX / www)

    then I need a way to tell somewhere how to reach the CFIDE location.

    I can eventually make a single copy of it in the D:/wwwroot

    Do you think this can be managed in the CF admin ?

    Yes. In fact, doing it in the ColdFusion Administrator is probably the best way. Just create a mapping for CFIDE.

     

    During installation, ColdFusion usually creates a CFIDE mapping by default. If the mapping already exists, edit it to what you want.

    As you say "If I copied the CFIDE (all files) in a website root, it does work."

    You have no no need to copy it again and again. You can do it from IIS also. You need to add CFIDE under your virtual directory.

     

    Like if have site named "anysite", you need to right click on and choose add. After clicking add named the virtual directory as "CFIDE" and point it to actual CFIDE directory of coldfusion.

    Ok, I have not a good knowledge about "virtual directory".

    But I did it under IIS, in a site root, I have created a virtual directory

    pointing on the real CFIDE, and it works.

     

    So, this means, I have to do this for each created site root ?

    No way to have only one created for all sites ?

     

    Thanks a lot.

    Pierre.
