How to deal with Radio buttons

[3allawy]

Hi,

I have 2 radio buttons and a text field. Depending on the entered text and the SELECTED BUTTON, I will perform a certain action. My question is how would I refer to my radio buttons and the text field in another file..

<form id="quicksearch" name="quicksearch" action="/scripts/searchRouter.cfm" method="post">

<label for="quicksearchBox">Search:</label> <input class="styledinput" tabindex="1" accesskey="S" type="text" name="q" id="quicksearchBox" size="9" /><input class="styledinput" tabindex="2" type="submit" value="Go" id="quicksearchButton" /><br /><br />

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="J" name="selectedSearch" checked="checked" value="J"/> Vanier College</p>

<p><input type="radio" accesskey="C" name="selectedSearch" value="C" /> Abbot University</p>
</form>

Seeing as you are using Cold Fusion for your server-side language, you should ask this question in the Cold Fusion forum.

Hope this helps,

HTML is not a server side language. You will need a server side language to refer to these elements in another file. Since it appears you're using coldfusion, this would be a coldfusion question. If you were using ASP, it would be an ASP question. If you were using PHP, etc, etc, etc.

Bottom line: This is not an HTML question.

Given that the extension of the page you are submitting your form to is ".cfm", it made perfect sense for me to assume that it was Cold Fusion, and no sense to assume it was HTML, since (a) HTML is NOT a server-side language, and (b) plain old HTML doesn't usually have the extension .cfm.
