dynamic data processing (concerning radio buttons)

#1 (**permalink**) 07-22-2008, 11:11 AM

hello again. first of all, whoever you are in my last topic, thank you for
helping me solve that checkbox problem. (forgot your username)

here's a new puzzle:
this puzzle involved 2 pages, editMODS.cfm and editMODS2.cfm. in
editMODS.cfm, there are 2 rows of radio buttons, one row for edit, one row for
delete. but only one out of all can be checked at a time. once the user has
selected whether he want to edit/delete that module, he will submit the value
for editMODS2.cfm to process. editMODS2.cfm's responsibility is to check what
the value submitted by editMODS.cfm is, then choose which page to redirect to.
when the page is chosen, editMODS2.cfm should then pass the value passed by
editMODS.cfm to that chosen page so that the chosen page can work its magic.

editMODS.cfm
===========
<cfquery datasource="fypdatabase" name="listMODS">
SELECT *
FROM moduleTABLE
ORDER BY courseID
</cfquery>

<cfloop query="listMODS">

<cfoutput>#listMODS.moduleNAME# (#listMODS.moduleCODE#)</cfoutput> </td>
<td width="45" align="center" valign="top">
<cfoutput><input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio"
value="E#listMODS.moduleID#" /></cfoutput> </td>
<td width="45" align="center" valign="top">
<cfoutput><input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio"
value="D#listMODS.moduleID#" /></cfoutput> </td>
</tr></cfloop>
<tr>
<td height="3" colspan="3" align="center" valign="middle"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center" valign="middle"><input type="submit"
name="button" id="button" value="Submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</body>
</html>

+++++++++++++++++++++

editMODS2.cfm (all those cfoutputs are there for faster testing of the
checking function)
============
<cfquery datasource="fypdatabase" name="listMODS">
SELECT *
FROM moduleTABLE
ORDER BY courseID
</cfquery>

<cfif #form.radio# is "E#listMODS.moduleID#">
<cfoutput>rw</cfoutput>

<cfelseif #form.radio# is "D#listMODS.moduleID#">
<cfoutput>sd</cfoutput>

<cfelse>
<cfoutput>ec</cfoutput>
</cfif>

as a bonus, it will be greatly appreciated if anyone can enlighten me on value
passing too.

hi. this post is to inform that the first part of the puzzle has been solved using CONTAIN instead of IS in editMODS2.cfm.

the second part about value passing is still open.
