Using this template:<br><form action="actionpage.cfm" method="post"><br><input type="text" name="myparam" value="some text"><br><input type="submit" value="submit"><br></form><br><br>You can get the value of the text box on actionpage.cfm by using the parameter form.myparam, like<br><cfoutput>#form.myparam#</cfoutput><br><br>or<br><br><cfif form.myparam is "some text"><br>...processing code<br></cfif><br><br>etcetera....<br><br>Hope this helps...

well yeah ..that works one way ... but the way i want it is<br>like this :<br><br>There are 2 select boxes and a text box.<br>Click on selectbox1 and bunch of values open up in selectbox2<br>click on one of the values in selectbox2 and the<br>text box gets a number.<br><br>notice the numbers are changing all the time. Cause the<br>user can constantly change his choice.<br><br>NOW, consider a variable in CF #tb_val#<br><br>before I click the submit button the CF variable #tb_val#<br>should hold the value of the text box!<br><br>can this be done ???<br><br>regards<br>f/s <br><br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=
