dynamic action="#buildURL('action_URL')#"

[Jermy]

Hi List,

I am trying to use dynamic 'action_URL' in buildURL() function, I am
trying this with javascript--

<script language="javascript">
function changeFormAction(selectedLoginType)
{
var action_URL = '';
if (selectedLoginType == 'AppID')
action_URL = 'login.authenticate';
else
action_URL = 'login.authenticate';

document.frm_login.action = action_URL;
return true;
}
</script>

and form is--

<cfform name="frm_login" id="frm_login" method="post"
action="#buildURL('action_URL')#">
<cfinput type="radio" name="radio_login_type" value="AppID"
required="true" onclick="javascript:changeFormAction('AppID')"
checked="true"> Using Application ID <br>

<cfinput type="radio" name="radio_login_type" value="BellNTID"
required="true" onclick="javascript:changeFormAction('WindowID')">
Using Window ID <br>

Username: <cfinput type="text" name="username" required="true"
message="Enter your Username" /><br>
Password:<cfinput type="password" name="password" required="true"
message="Enter your Password" /><br>

<cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</cfform>


Any Suggestion?



Thanks in adv.
Jermy

Buildurl is a cf function that is parsed before the page is sent to the client. You can't call it from javascript.

Hi Jermy,

Keep in mind that ColdFusion runs server side and JavaScript runs client side, buildURL is a ColdFusion function, so you can't call it from javascript. An easy solution might just be to do this in your JS:

<cfoutput> action_URL = '#JSStringFormat(buildURL("login.authenticate"))#';</cfoutput>

Javascript is executed on the bowser after the CFML has been processed - you have the two mixed up

Try moving BuildURL into the JavaScript

eg 

action_URL = '#buildURL("login.authenticate")#';

your else code also goes to login.authenticate - you probably don't want that

Set form action to default selected radio button

<cfform name="frm_login" id="frm_login" method="post"

action="#buildURL('login.authenticate')#">

onclick does not need javascript:

onclick="changeFormAction('WindowID')"

Any particular reason for having cfform and cfinput?
