coldfusion onclick add code to text box

[ismailc]

Hi, I need help!

I have a coldfusion report with a form split into two.

one being an output data table where you can search on output data
and the other just a normal text box.
what i'm struggling with is onclick of selected td code/data in bottom table to add the selected code to the top text box.

Please any ideas!

Regards,
Ismail

hi Ismail


i dont think this thing can be done using coldfusion. but can be done using javascript.

first you have to give unique names/ids to the controls that you want to link up.
for eg the bottom control is "bottom" and the top control is "top"

then you must have a javascript function inside the page eg. "copy_to_top"

inside that put code like this

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
 
    function  copy_to_top(bottom_value)
    {
 
document.top.value = bottom_value;
        }
 
</SCRIPT>

put code like this inside the tag of "bottom"

<input name="bottom" onclick="copy_to_top(this.form.bottom.value);">

Then it should probably work.
