I have what I'm asking working but it passes everything via url variables to
the iframe but I'm afraid that I may run into url max length limitation.
This is why I was hoping to get the form field values without passing them
via the url.
Here is what I have.
This is the form page.
<script language="JavaScript">
function savenewlineitem(fieldname,fieldvalue)
{
frames['lookupformdata'].location.href =
"/templates/test-iframe-javascript.cfm?rec_command=" +
document.lform.rec_command.value + "&field=" + fieldname + "&fv=" +
fieldvalue.value + "&lid=" + document.lform.lrecid.value + "&rid=" +
document.eform.recid.value + "&pd=" + document.eform.part_date.value +
"&pn=" + document.eform.part_no.value + "&pdes=" +
document.eform.part_desc.value + "&pin=" +
document.eform.parent_item_no.value + "&qpu=" +
document.eform.qty_per_unit.value + "&w=" + document.eform.weight.value +
"&n=" + document.eform.notes.value;
}
</script>
<iframe frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" name="lookupformdata" id="lookupformdata" align="middle"
class="mini" height="0" width="0"></iframe>
<cfform method="post" id="eform" name="eform">
<textarea name="notes" rows="8" tabindex="7" cols="50" class="mini"
onblur="savenewlineitem()"></textarea></td>
</cfform>
<cfform method="post" id="lform" name="lform">
<cfinput type="text" tabindex="8" class="mini" maxlength="6" name="qty"
size="10" onblur="savenewlineitem('qty',this.form.qty)" required="Yes"
message="You must have a qty.">
<cfinput type="text" tabindex="9" class="mini" maxlength="255"
name="item_desc" size="40" required="No"
onblur="savenewlineitem('item_desc',this.form.item_desc)">
other input form fields
</cfform>
This is the iframe test-iframe-javascript.cfm page
<cfif isdefined("url.pd") and isdefined("url.pdes") and isdefined("url.pin")
and isdefined("url.pn") and isdefined("url.qpu") and isdefined("url.w") and
isdefined("url.n")>
insert url values to database.
other cf logic etc.
</cfif>
results from above logic may or may not clear the parent form fields.
parent.document.lform.qty_shipped.value = "";
parent.document.lform.qty_backordered.value = "";
parent.document.lform.um.value = "";
parent.document.lform.item_no.value = "";
parent.document.lform.vendor_item_no.value = "";
parent.document.lform.item_desc.value = "";
parent.document.lform.qty_shipped.focus();
I do not want the parent page to refresh or reload. Do you see any other
method that is easier?
