Hello everyone,
I have a ColdFusion Flash form page that has many objects
such as text inputs, buttons, list boxes and so on. Some of these
objects get values from a database and some are simply user defined
values. The page is a product query page. Users can query for a
specific product based on a number of criteria. One of those
choices is to be able to query for a product based on a company.
But the list of companies is rather a lot - over 6000. So I was
thinking of having the user input a few letter that the company
starts with and clicking a search button, which (the button is not
a submit button because if I click submit then the entire form is
submitted)is a button that calls a javascript function with an
onClick() that will run a popup window. In that window the user
should already have a list of companies based on the few letters
the user had inputted. The user selects the company from a grid
that is binded to a text field above it and clicks on a SELECT
button, which should close the window and transfer the value to the
text field that the user originally used to search for a the
company.
My problem is running a query with CFQUERY without a submit
button (since I used onClick). Since I didn't submit, I can't
really compare values (because #FORM.company# is blank) in the
WHERE clause of the SQL. Also, how do I transfer the value back to
the original page?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. If you have any other
ways of doing what I want to do, please let me know.
Greg
