Sending data to Actionpage
Hi, I have a grid of data that is managed by javascript on one of my pages. At the moment i am not looking heavily into Ajax to transfer any data changes to the server but was wondering of the best way to pass the data to the actionpage. when the user clicks save i was thinking that a good way would be to store the data in hidden cfinput fields then submit the form. however some of the data may be very large, so my question is, do the hidden cfinput fields have a limit to the amount of data they can contain? i would like each hidden input field to store an array of data then send it to the actionpage i would appreciate your advice thanks Richard ~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.

Re: Sending data to Actionpage
thanks charlie, a session variable would be great but of course i am manipulating the data on the client in javascript and by the time i click save - its just getting the data over to the server to store it in a session variable! hmmm not sure what is the best way to do this, i suppose i may have to look into ajax? ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

If you use get you will run into limites. If you use post your form with large sets of hidden data will work fine.

RE: Sending data to Actionpage
Looping over the array and building one or many hidden form fields is perfectly valid. Although doing this with Ajax on CF8 would be fairly easy also.
