ColdFusion Function and JavaScript

Question posted by: cfmx2008 (Member) on March 13th, 2008 02:14 PM

Hi everyone,

I have a coldfusion form (ReportMenu.cfm) that the action page is itself as below:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

	<cfform action="/cfreport/ReportMenu.cfm" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

and it's button:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

	<input type="Submit" value="View Report" class="button" name="submit"  >

    <!--- onclick="MM_openBrWindow('','','toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,  width=910,height=600')" --->

and finally the end tag and if statement to call a function:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

	</cfform>    
 
<cfif isdefined("form.Submit")>

   <cfinvoke component="ScholasticObjects.importExport" method="Report">

        <cfinvokeargument...>

   </cfinvoke>

</cfif>

This function creates my report. I want my report to be open in a new window (you can see the commented onclick inside the button) but I have the button outside the <cfif> so it opens my report on the same window. Do you guys have any idea how I can make it work. I appreciate your comments.

Re: ColdFusion Function and JavaScript

Use the form target attribute. Set it to the name of the popup window.

Just a note that target is deprecated, so it will not pass strict validation, but you can use a transitional doctype instead.

Re: ColdFusion Function and JavaScript

Create the popup window with a name and then use that name in the target.
