Need help passing form variables

[Newsgroup_User]

My application has a search page and a results page, on the results page I
used the "<previous - next>" DW server behaviors to split my results up to
10 records per page. I have some form variables from my search page that
pass to the initial results page, but when I click "next" for my next 10
records, all the form variables are lost. So, my question is how can I pass
these variables to the next pages??

you can use hidden form fields (and a 'submit' button for 'next' instead of a text link...or have the text link trigger a JS function that would do a form submit()).

you could put the variables into the session scope.

if you absolutely had to (and hopefully there wouldn't be many), you could pass them in the URL (but for various reasons, i'd make that the ultimate 'no other option' plan).

Could you give me a code example? Say my search form has 3 variables: city,
maximumprice, and minimumprice.

at the top of my results page I have :

<cfparam name="form.city" default=" ">
<cfparam name="form.minimumprice" default=" ">
<cfparam name="form.maximumprice" default=" ">

and my link to the previous-next page:

<a
href="<cfoutput>#CurrentPage#?PageNum_wrmls=#Max(DecrementValue(PageNum_wrml
s),1)##QueryString_wrmls#</cfoutput>">Previous</a> <a
href="<cfoutput>#CurrentPage#?PageNum_wrmls=#Min(IncrementValue(PageNum_wrml
s),TotalPages_wrmls)##QueryString_wrmls#</cfoutput>">Next</a>



Thanks for the help!

The tutorial at http://tutorial39.easycfm.com/ should give you some ideas. Once you understand it, you'll know how to use session variables to preserve the form data.

I'd use session variables, setting them when you move to the first page.
