Form Field Binding

jrottman · Jun 17, 2005

I have 10 form fields that require this document code to be placed into them. Instead of having to write 10 seperate versions of this pop up how can I dynamically change the fieldname.

Here is an example of hte setup I have right now. What I need to do is change the fieldname in opener.document.formname.fieldname.value to what what ever fieldname of the review number is (IE fld_review1)

I can get it to bind over in firefox, but when I try using IE it does not bind it over.

Here is my code

Form page
<input name="fld_review1" type="text" size="30">
<a href="##" onClick="javascript

opUp('includes/admin/doccode.cfm')">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value=">"></a> </td>
<td><div align="center">
<input type="checkbox" name="fld_rev1_cor" value="checkbox">

Pop up:
<cfquery name="qGetCodes" datasource="#dsn#">
select *
from tbl_agentPortal_codecats
order by fld_doctype ASC
</cfquery>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<select name="codeDisplay" size="10" >
<cfoutput query="qGetCodes">
<option value="#fld_doctype#-#fld_docline#" onClick="opener.document.form3['#URL.formId#'].value = document.form1.codeDisplay.value; self.close();">
#fld_doctype#-#fld_docline# </option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
</form>

MochaLatte,

You can pass the form field in the pop up call.

Like:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <title></title>
<script>
function popUp(url){
var nwwin = window.open(url);
}

function PU(fn){
var html = '<html><head></head><body><form>\n\
<select onclick="opener.document.forms.f1.' + fn + '.value = this.value;">\n\
<option value="v1">Val 1\n\
<option value="v2">Val 2\n\
</select>\n\
</form>\n\
</body></html>';
var nwwin = window.open();
nwwin.document.open();
nwwin.document.write(html);
nwwin.document.close();
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="f1">
<input type="text" name="t1"
<br />
<a href="##" onClick="javascript:PU('t1')">Pop Up</a>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope it's helpful.
