Thanks for the idea. I have used similar code in the past to lookup city and state automatically when a zipcode was entered...I was just hoping that there was an easier/more elegant path to doing this. Xmlhttprequest didn't occur to me at all. Maybe I will go that route.
Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: s. isaac dealey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 8:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Saving a CFINPUT field Hey Eron, Yeah, I wouldn't expect there to be direct association between the cfinput and a component currently, though I could be wrong -- I so rarely use cfform. I've got an auto-saving textarea in one of my applications that uses a hidden iframe to submit its own form -- seemed to be the most straightforward solution, although these days I'm sure a lot of folks would use an xmlhttprequest instead (via Prototype most likely). At any rate, this works just fine for me: <iframe style="height:1px; width:1px; border:0px; visibility:hidden;" name="autosave"></textarea> <form action="saveit.cfm" target="autosave"> <textarea name="yadda" onchange="this.form.submit();"></textarea> </form> Though I also include a submit button in that form in case javascript is disabled in the browser -- and then I use javascript to hide it when the page loads. :P -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298987 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
