Using CFINPUT dateField with onChange

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 12:28:08 GMT

I imagine this is easy, but have tried to search here as well as Google it and have come up empty.

I have a CFINPUT dateField control that is OK when my form loads, but then I want the control to capture a new date selection from the user and update the form. I believe the onChange event is used to process this, but I don't know how to code it so that it will refresh the form using the new date and keep the user's date selection.

CFINPUT dateField with onChange

Consider the following basic code that works with handling a selectedDate:


<cfparam name="Form.selectdate" default="#dateformat(now(), 'mm/dd/yyyy')#">


<cfif isDefined("Form.submitit")>
<cfoutput>You selected #Form.selectDate# </cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>Form date is #Form.selectDate# </cfoutput>
</cfif>

Please select a date on the calendar and click Save. 
 
<cfform name="form1" format="Flash" skin="haloBlue" width="375" height="350" >
<cfinput type="dateField"
name="selectdate"
label="Initial date"
width="100"
value="#Form.selectdate#" >
<cfinput type="Submit" name="submitit" value="Save" width="100">
</cfform>

I would like to accomplish the same thing but use onChange instead of a submit.

Problem Binding a Checkbox

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 19:13:28 GMT

I found a great tip that got me started at http://www.asfusion.com/blog/entry/binding-checkboxes-in-flash-forms
...however, I'm still having a problem getting the checkbox to work with the grid.

My data comes from:
SELECT items.*, catgid.*, IF(items.itemnbr = favorites.itemnbr, true, false) AS userfav
FROM catgid, items LEFT JOIN favorites ON items.itemnbr = favorites.itemnbr
WHERE (items.brand like '%#searchinfo#%' OR
items.item like '%#searchinfo#%') AND
items.catgid = catgid.catgid
ORDER BY items.catgid, items.brand, items.item

And my control is:
<CFINPUT LABEL="One of My Favorites"
NAME="is_MyFav"
STYLE="fontWeight:bold;"
TYPE="checkbox"
VALUE="{recordsfound.selectedItem.userfav=='true'}">

I do have other TEXT controls that are binding OK. Can someone spot the problem?

Using CFFormGroup = "vbox"

I have a tab where I would like to spilt the available space with 2/3 of it on the left and the other 1/3 on the right. I'd like to put the CFINPUT controls on the left and a CFGRID on the right, binding as needed. It seems that the only way I can accomplish this layout is to put the CFINPUT and CFGRID controls into their own panels each in their own VBOX controlled by one HBOX. I would prefer to not have the panels and just use VBOX, but when doing this, nothing ever shows on the right side.

Am I missing what VBOX should be able do?
