Post form to external cfdiv

Hi,

I know all about forms submitting via ajax to the cfdiv they're in, and I also know how to submit a form to an external cfdiv (one outside the cfform) using a url binding (bind="url:..."). However, I now have a form that is likely to exceed the max length of a url using the latter method. Is there a way to POST the contents of a cfform to an external cfdiv?

Thanks,
Russ

ColdFusion.navigate() and ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm() functions will
let you do it.

in ColdFusion.navigate() case you can provide an optional FORMID
attribute which will make the function submit the form with that ID to
specified URL and display results in specified container.

in ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm() case you can write a js function which
will update your cfdiv and use that function in CallbackHandler argument
of ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm().

Thanks, Azadi! It seems like I've been using ColdFusion.navigate in other ways forever, and yet never noticed you can post a form to an external container like that.
