Form actionpage - element not defined - variable passing problem

[kydavis]

I keep gettting the error that the element bandname is not defined in bandform.

Here is my code:

<table border="1">
    <tr>

        <form id="bandform" action="testaction.cfm" method="post" name="bandform">
<cfloop from="1" to="#showNum#" index="i">
    <tr>
            <td>
            <cfoutput>
                <p><input type="checkbox" name="bandname" value="#getItems.bands_id[ListGetAt(randomItems, i)]#" id="picture">#getItems.bands_name[ListGetAt(randomItems, i)]#</p>
            </cfoutput>
            </td>
    </tr>
 </cfloop>

             <p><input type="submit" name="submitButtonName"></p>

        </form>

    </tr>
    </table>

</cfif>

The above code gets me a random list of ten band id's (picture id's). Then when I try and review the results on the testaction.cfm I get the error that BANDNAME is not an element of BANDFORM. I dont understand what I am doing wrong. Here is my code on the action page:

<cfoutput>
    #bandform.bandname#
</cfoutput>

i JUST WANT TO SEE the results of the variables. What the ID was of the pictures that the user selected on the screen. Why am I getting it wrong?

Try this:

<cfoutput>
    #[red]form[/red].bandname#
</cfoutput>

Hope This Helps!

But i named the form bandform. does that not matter?

nope. it doesn't. the name of the form is moot after the page is submitted. The variables and values come back in the form scope (if method="post") or url scope (if method = "get")
