Issue with cfform validating button was selected/clicked

[dmorand]

I'm having an issue validating that the "Add" button was selected.....

<cfform name="NEW_FORM" action="systemSubmit.cfm">
        <tr><td colspan=2 align="center"><h4>Submit New System</h4></td></tr>
        <tr><td align="right">Name:</td><td><input type="Text" name="name" size="50"></td></tr>
        <tr><td align="right">Description:</td><td><textarea  name="description" cols="40" rows="5" maxlength="255"></textarea></td></tr>
        <tr><td colspan=2 align="center"><input type="Submit" name="Add" value="Add"></td></tr>
    </cfform>
 

Here is a snippet from the page it calls:

<cfoutput>#NEW_FORM.Add#</cfoutput>
 
<cfif isDefined("NEW_FORM.Add")>
    <cfquery name="updateSystem" datasource="Security_Access" dbtype="ODBC">
        insert into tblSystem (name,description,updDateTime)
        values ('#name#','#description#','#DateTime#')
    </cfquery>
    Thanks for your submission!
</cfif>
 

I have the cfform named "NEW_FORM" so I thought I'd be able to select the field by using NEW_FORM.Add

I was able to get around this by not using cfform and just using form, but I'd like to know how I can use cfform.

Use "form.Add" instead.

I thought that if I named the cfform, that would be how I'd reference it.

What's the sense of naming my form?

How do you do the cfm code insert in the posts?

The name is optional. It's more for the client-side. In fact, you don't even need it for JavaScript because you can use an id to access the form.

Just add a =cfm in the code tag:
[code=cfm]

Excellent thanks!!!!!!!
