Mergin' cfml tag into javascript event!

someonecalled · Feb 26, 2001

Dear reader,
To understand what i wanna do clearly, see the followin' code that i tried to make it work:
<td bgcolor="ffffff" onclick="<cflocation url='index.cfm'>"></td>

The problem is that when i call the page that includes the above statement, it takes me directly to index.cfm ... i mean that the event (onclick) executes without clickin' the TD!!!!

can ya help?
with regards! <ikramy>with regards</ikramy>

solution 1
----------
you should write a jscript function (say : relocate() ) and put it between the script tags :
<html>
<head>
<script langage=javascript>
function relocate() {
<cflocation url="index.cfm">
}
</script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<td bgcolor="ffffff" onclick="relocate()"></td>
...

solution 2
----------
use directly pure javascript :
...
<td bgcolor="ffffff" onclick="document.location='index.htm'"></td>
...

iza and ikramy, the first solution won't work (CF will always execute any CFLOCATION in a page, unless it never gets there, for example when you use an IF...ELSE statement...). The second solution is correct though. Good luck!
