Passing values to page

219 100+

I'm trying to pass a date/time value to a page so I can refresh the page based on the date/time selected by the user.

I'm using client variables for now, but I have to have the form at the bottom of the page so that when I hit the refresh button the date/time is used.

Is there a way to pass the value in the URL?

    <form method="post" action="BigPic_dt_v2.cfm?refDT=#PDT#">

    </cfoutput>

    <SELECT name="ed_dt">

            <option>Select a Date/Time</option>

            <cfoutput query="getEDV2_dt">

                    <cfset ed_date=#DateFormat(date,"mm-dd-yy")#>

                    <cfset ed_time=#TimeFormat(time,"HH:mm")#>

                    <cfset DT=#ed_date# & ' ' & #ed_time#>

            <option>#DT#</option>

            <cfset #PDT# = #ed_dt#>

    </cfoutput>

    </SELECT>

    <input type="submit" value="Refresh">

    <cfif isDefined("ed_dt")>

        <cfset #CLIENT.ED_Date_Time# = #ed_dt#>

    </cfif>

    <cfoutput>PDT = #PDT#</cfoutput>

    </form>

I'm trying to pass the PDT value, but it doesn't get set until after the Refresh button has been pressed. Is there a way to read the value out before the refresh is pressed?

You can use JavaScript to read the value before refresh is pressed.

If you want to pass the value in the URL, use GET instead of POST as the form method.

javascript is really the only option I have to pass the value from the select list?
I just want to pass the key value in the url for the item the user selects.

In that case, use "get" as the form method instead of "post".

On the action page, use "url.variable" to retrieve the values.

Ok lets see if I can pick your brain once again.

I have a list which contains the names from a table, but I need to pass the key value to a page, not the entry which is listed in the list. The option I came up with is to place the key value into the select list with the name and then parse out the key in the javascript. I'm assuming there's a better way to do this right?

The value I want to pass is the #sysID#, but I'd rather not have it displayed in the dropdown menu.

            <cfoutput query="getSystems">

                <option>#sysID# - #name#</option>

            </cfoutput>

    </SELECT>

    <input type="submit" name="Edit" value="Edit">

    <input type="submit" name="Delete" value="Delete">

    <input type="text" name="systemID">

<script language="javascript">
 
//window.location.href=window.location.href
 
function readValue(){

    var n = selectSys.system.selectedIndex; //get selected index value

    var val = selectSys.system[n].text; //get selected value

    var temp=new Array();//split the value up by character

    temp=val.split(' ');

    alert(temp[0] + ' ' + temp[1]);

    selectSys.sysID.value=temp[0];

}

</script>

I need to have #name# in my option from my query though. what are those options going to do "Name for id 1003"? Was that just an example you were showing me?
