Question

I want to to pass the value users select from form.MySelect.

I use

<cfif IsDefined("form.MySelect")

</cfif>

it seems that ColdFusion server does not recognize it.

It works if I use text control.

I would like to know are there anyway to pass select value to ColdFsuion server to use <CFIF IsDefined>

If not, any suggestions or use hidden controls to set the value when user select a value from drop down box.

Your help and information is great appreciated,

Regards,

Iccsi,

here is html code: here are my on submit code ,I still do not see the select even I comment event.preventDefault, jQuery("#cmdSubmit").click(function(event) { if (validate()) { if (document.MyForm.MyNumber.value.length == 0) { document.MyForm.MyNumber.value = document.getElementById('MyForm').hidNumber.value; } jQuery.ajax({ url: "/Mycfm.cfc?method=MyMethod&MyNumber=" ("#txtMyNumber").val()), type: "POST", success: function(data) { alert( "My Number " + GetMyNumber(jQuery("#txtMyNumber").val()) + " for " + GetMyNumber(jQuery("#MyName").val()) + " Data update completed"); } }); } }); Shouldn't that be /* event.preventDefault(); */ ? Anyway, from what I have read about event.preventDefault(), its purpose is to prevent the default click-action which, in this case, is form submission. So it is actually doing what it is designed to do! Why don't you comment it out?

Coldfusion does recognize it. Use the value of the name attribute of the select field. For example,form.mySelect: #form.mySelect#
