How you include the action is of course up to you. CFC, Custom Tag, straight code, sending it to billy bob's remote service... etc, etc...
The point of using isdefined over http.request method is rather moot since it's only necessary to use something else when you have more than one form on the page. Even then, I'd use both to decide if a form was submitted and which one it was. I prefer not to check for buttons by name to decide which action the person wants to take; as a matter of fact... I avoid using more than one submit BUTTON as much as possible ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Jon Clausen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 4:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFinput submit Action page Bobby, This is kind of expanding the scope of the initial question, but using http.request_method can cause other problems down the road - especially when pages have multiple forms, or multiple submits (i.e. - an Update and Delete submits). Better always to use the isDefined('FORM.submitName') to determine which business logic gets executed. It's just my preference, but it also seems to me that a separate action page for forms is redundant if you encapsulate your business logic into CFC's. You can accomplish all you need to do in a single script block at the top of the template (or the equivalent in CFML tags): <cfscript> mycomponent = createObject("component","components.component"); if (isDefined('FORM.update')){ dataupdated = mycomponent.doUpdate(FORM); }; if (isDefined('FORM.delete')){ datadeleted = mycomponent.doDelete(FORM.mydeletevar); }; </cfscript> Just my 2 cents, Jon On Sep 21, 2006, at 4:13 PM, Bobby Hartsfield wrote: > Most people (I would think) just include the action page when the > form was > submitted.
