Quick and dirty fix... In the processing page, add this to the top:
<cfparam name="form.unit_id_other" default=""> Steve -----Original Message----- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:li...@commadelimited.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 1:16 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Form Insanity With radio buttons, checkboxes, and multiple select dropdowns it doesn't matter if the form is there on the view page. If no one selects one of the options in those input fields, the key doesn't exist in the form. Use cfparam, or StructKeyExists(FORM,'key') to make sure it's there before using it. andy -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Laureska [mailto:tlaure...@dhmh.state.md.us] Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 12:00 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Form Insanity Hello: Can somebody tell me why this from select box form and processing template produce the message that "Element UNIT_ID_OTHER" is undefined in form" <form> <select name="unit_id_other" multiple="yes"> <option value="">Select Unit (if applicable) <option value="">---------------------------------- <cfoutput query="list_units"> <option value="#unit_id#">#unit_name# </cfoutput> </select> </form> processing template <cfif #form.unit_id_other# IS NOT ""> <cfquery datasource="#datasource#" name="find_other_unit"> SELECT * FROM dhmh_units where unit_id IN (#form.unit_id_other#) </cfquery> </cfif> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
