This is one of those things I've always wanted to do, but never get a
chance to...
Basically this is how I would do it.
<script>
function getObject(nameStr) {
var ns4 = document.layers ? true : false;
var ie = document.all? true : false;
var dom = document.getElementById && !document.all ? true : false;
if (dom) { return document.getElementById(nameStr); }
if (ie) { return document.all[nameStr]; }
if (ns4) { return document.images[nameStr]; }
}
var dataPipe = getObject('imgDataPipe');
function saveData(fObj) {
field_name = fObj.name;
field_value = fObj.value;
dataPipe.src = "saveFormData.cfm?saveField=" + field_name +
"&value=" + field_value;
}
</script>
<input type="text" name="f_name" onblur="saveData(this)">
<img src="saveFormData.cfm" id="imgDataPipe" name="imgDataPipe">
saveFormdata.cfm:
<cfif isDefined("url.saveField")>
<cfset session[url.saveField] = url.value>
</cfif>
<cfcontent type="image/gif" file="1x1.gif">
Typed that as I went, so it probably has a few problems. Should get
you started though. I'll probably reference this post when I actually
get to creating a real onblur save library for myself...so thanks :)
