Thanks for the code, Chris...
I've looked it over (and certainly wouldn't pretend to understand it all),
but I did notice that it sends a user to "Thank You" page if all is well.
In my case, however, what I've got is a mortgage calculation form
which performs these processes (at least this is what I'm trying to get to):
- validate input on a "per field" basis (got that worked out) using CF code
for validation
- "Calculate" button for submission is disabled until all fields have
validated
- once all fields validate, CF processes the data and returns the mortgage
payment
to the form page
I'm stuck after achieving the first part. I can validate all fields
individually, server-side,
using this code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input:text").debug().each(function(){
var a = new Array();
$(this).blur(function(){
var Params={};
Params[this.name]=this.value;
console.log(Params);
$.post("Calc_Test_Process_Field.cfm",Params);
});
});
});
After this has done its work, I want the Calculate button enabled,
then, once the Calculate button is clicked, all form fields are
submitted, CF processes the data and runs the formula, and the
result is returned via Ajax to the form page for display.
What I'm lacking is the last part... getting the calculated result
(which I have) passed back to the form page.
I tried using this with "onSubmit" and "onClick" but that wasn't making
any difference:
function CalculateMortgage(){
var Params = {};
$("input:text").each(function(){
var Params={};
Params[$(this).attr("name")] = $(this).val();
});
console.log(Params);
$.post("Calc_Test_Process_Field.cfm", Params, function(data){
$("#Result").empty().append(data);
});
return false;
};
How would (if needed) would your code be modified to handle
this situation?
One last thing for now... I noticed a JSON reference in your code...
I thought I couldn't use JSON with CF 4.5???

So, by post the form, you just mean that once all has been validated,
that you need the Form fields (all inputs -- hidden, radio, textarea,
select, etc.) to be passed to the server via Ajax right?
Have you tried something like this:
<script>
function CreateDataObject(){
var obj = new Object;
// all inputs of type text, hidden, select and textarea
$("input:text,input:hidden,select,textarea").each(function(){
obj[this.name] = this.value;
//eval("obj." + this.name + " = '" + this.value + "';");
});
//dump(obj,false);
return obj
}
var HasBeenSubmitted = false;
function SaveApplication(){
if(!HasBeenSubmitted){
// first validate the form
if(ValidateForm(true)){
HasBeenSubmitted = true;
var myStruct = CreateDataObject();
//dump(myStruct);
var parms = "ApplicationData=" + $.toJSON(myStruct);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ProcessEmploymentApp.cfm",
datatype: "html",
data: parms,
success: function(data){
location.href="thankyou.cfm";
},
error: function(data){
alert("There was a problem submitting/");
}
});
}
}
else{
alert("can't submit more than once.");
return;
}
}
<script>
The CreateDataObject (a lousy name for it probably), creates what you
can think of as a struct which contains name/value pairs which I then
pass to the handling CFM page via ajax.
Have you tried a method like this? I've mentioned this code to someone
on the jQuery list once (it may have been you). Daemach and I were
tag-team helping someone and this was my proposed solution. This is code
that I'm actually using in a production environment.
Does this help? Let me know if any of it doesn't make sense.
Cheers,
Chris
