RE: fieldnames structure
Form.Fieldnames is a list of all the form fields. You want just Form. Also, you can't place a structure in a form field like that, it's not a simple string. You can, however, convert the form structure to a wddx packet and put _that_ in a form field. CFSET Form.Foo = 1 CFWDDX ACTION=CFML2WDDX INPUT=#Form# OUTPUT=Formpacket FORM CFOUTPUT INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=OldData VALUE=#FormPacket# /CFOUTPUT /FORM You may want to URL encode FormPacket to ensure no line breaks are in. === Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 11:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: fieldnames structure Hi Folks, I'm trying to figure out this structure thing, and I have a project where I have to grab all the fieldname/value pairs from one form, hold them while the user fills out a second page, then send them along in a hidden field to the action page.

That's not going to work, because a structure can't be simply written to a string, as you're trying to do. If you want to pass data from one page, to the next, it'll have to be string data of some type. You could use WDDX to convert complex objects (arrays, structures, queries) to strings, then write the WDDX strings to your form fields, then convert them back to complex objects using CFWDDX in the action page. Or, you could use the Session scope to store the data persistently.

RE: fieldnames structure
Deana, You're close. The FORM scope itself is actually just one big structure, which means you can copy it and pass it along. You'll likely, however, need to convert it to something that can be passed in the form hidden field - I'd recommend WDDX. Try something like this. !--- copy the form scope from the previous page submission --- cfset stcPage1 = structCopy(form) !--- encode it as a WDDX packet --- cfwddx action=cfml2wddx input=#stcPage1# output=wstcPage1 !--- embed it in the form on page 2 --- cfoutput input type=hidden name=stcPage1 value=#wstcPage2# /cfoutput This will pass the struct as a WDDX packet named wstPage1. In order to access the values of the struct on the next page, you'll need to de-serialize it first, like this (this would be in the submit logic on page 2): cfwddx action=wddx2cfml input=#form.wstcPage1# output=stcPage1 Then you should be able to reference fields from page one in the following manner: cfoutput #stcPage1.strFormField1#br #stcPage1.strFormField2#br /cfoutput Hope this helps, Tyson -Original Message- From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 10:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: fieldnames structure Hi Folks, I'm trying to figure out this structure thing, and I have a project where I have to grab all the fieldname/value pairs from one form, hold them while the user fills out a second page, then send them along in a hidden field to the action page.

RE: fieldnames structure
First off all, if you could do this then why not just reference the form field directly. Secondly I think it was asked when a new page is displayed, after the first was submitted so this will not work!

RE: fieldnames structure
as an addendum to the idea that I sent along, you will need to do some additional work if you are including any checkboxes in your initial form. Use CFPARAM NAME=FORM.checkboxname DEFAULT=defaultvalue at the top of the resulting page to set the checkbox value if the user didn't check it, and then you will need to do a LISTAPPEND(FORM.fieldnames,checkboxname) to include that form name in the field names since CF will not see the checkbox if it isn't selected, and will not automatically insert the name into the fieldnames list when you use the CFPARAM.
