running a script and creating a link?

How can i create a new link on a page when a submit (button) is click?

what i want to do is when that button is click then it will run that script(cfm file) and will create a link on the same page.

so when

<cfinput type="Submit" name="SubmitForm" value="Submit">(from answers.cfm)

is click it will run the file in respnds.cfm and create a link in answers.cfm when you can click it and the respnds.cfm file will come up.

any suggestion or maybe a article online (which i havent been able to find ) will help.

thanks

In what follows, I have assumed that answers.cfm and respnds.cfm are in the same directory.

answers.cfm

</cfform>

<p></p>

respnds.cfm

</cfif>

However, please be aware of the possible security hole. If you can write links to a CFM page by means of a form, so can anyone else.

It is just a placeholder for the relative URL of the link. Put in it whatever you like, for example

Dont use cfinput to create a button. Use a button tag... <button onclick="dosomething()">BUTTON</button>, or standard form input controls.
