passing multiple parms in autosuggest

[larksys]

Ineed a way to have a form element available in the cfc function that I use to bind to a cfinput autosuggestvalue. A previous element on the page contains a company number that I need while doing an autosuggest on a subsequent input.

Like;
<cfinput type="text" name="sfsrch#counter#" id="sfsrch#counter#" size="80" autosuggest="cfc:components.tsijobads.getJobsearch({cfautosuggestvalue},{CompanyNumber})" maxResultsDisplay="50">

You didn't show your cfc function, but your syntax in your cfinput is 100% correct. You can pass additional values to a cfc via Autosuggest exactly as you've shown.

If CompanyNumber was already assigned a value on your form page (using cfinput...haven't tried it with regular html), you only need to set it up as an argument in your cfc.

I've yet to find a way to mimic the best use of the old HTML select/option tag, where you would display CompanyNames in the drop down but use CompanyNumber as the submit value. As far as I know, Autosuggest can be populated with a one-dimensional array only.
