No communication between a form and cfm ( Really simple :)

Hi, I am always getting an error message when clicking on the Go button. I have 2 files. One file contains a form and the other a simple cfm file. PLEASE ADVISE


Error Occurred While Processing Request
String index out of range: 0

The error occurred in D:\projects\new-jmsb\form\responsetiks.cfm: line 8

8 : <cfif isdefined(FORM.Conc)>

Your form variables inside your cfif statements should be in quotes.

<cfif isdefined(FORM.Jmsb)>
<cfif isdefined(FORM.Conc)>

Should be

<cfif isdefined("FORM.Jmsb")>
<cfif isdefined("FORM.Conc")>

Plus, you probably need to get rid of the cfparam tags. If you have them, that makes sure that both form variables are always defined, which makse your IsDefined statements useless. The cfparam tag will always create the variable, it will just be empty and not have a value (unless it really was filled out on the form).

If you want to use the cfparams, just replace your IsDefineds with Len(Trim()).

<cfif Len(Trim(FORM.Jmsb))>

Hope This Helps!
