Hi che,

I don't have my Cold Fusion book with me, but I seem to recall an example such as:

<cfset pi = 3.14....

The implication was that assignments are the same:

<cfset a_variable = document.Form_Location.Location.value;>
or
var x = document.Form_Location.Location.value;
<cfset a_variable = x;>

However, I am curious about the following assignment. Is is correct?

newLocationWindow.document.forms.Form_Location.Location.value = form.HardcopyLocationID.value;

I ask because you seem to have an extra "forms" on the left side of the equals sign.

If this doesn't help, perhaps you should post in the database or other programming language sections.

Thank you very much Vinny.

Hi,

The usual method is:

var x = document.formname.elementname.value;

it shouldn't be any different in coldFusion, so:

<cfset a_variable = document.form1.abc.value;>

If that doesn't work, within the textbox's tag, try: onBlur="x = this.value">
then assign x to a_variable.

Vinny

Thanks for helping, Vinny

I've tried that but it still doesn't work.
I was wondering if the code below might make things clearer:

Page1.cfm
----------
:
:
<script language="javascripts">
<!--
function openLocationWindow(form){
newLocationWindow = window.open("TopView1.cfm", "myWindow", "scrollbars=yes, width=600, height=500");
newLocationWindow.document.forms.Form_Location.Location.value = form.HardcopyLocationID.value;

}//-->
</script>
:
:

TopView1.cfm
------------
:
:
<form name="Form_Location">
<input type="text" name="Location">
:
:
</form>

Question: How to assign the value of "Location" of the "Form_Location" form to "A_Variable"?

Please Help! Thank you very much

che'
