Save All button for dynamic form

Hi All,


I haven't used coldfusion for a while and I am a little stuck getting my head around a problem I have occured.  I have taken a project over from one of my colleagues so the coding is not my own. See code below....

<cfif isdefined("btnSubmit")>

     <!--- DO INDIVIDUAL UPDATE CODE HERE --->

</cfif>

<cfoutput query="getList">

     <cfform name="fmUpdList99_#applicationid#" action="list99.cfm">

          Clear:       <cfinput type="Radio" name="result" checked="No" value="CLEAR">

          Match:     <cfinput type="Radio" name="result" checked="No" value="MATCH">

          N/A:         <cfinput type="Radio" name="result" checked="No" value="NA">

          <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Save" />

     </cfform>

</cfoutput>

Now this works perfectly if I want to click on a submit button per row and save each row individually.... But what the user wants is the option to have a save all button which loops through each row and does the update code for all rows (rather than individually) depending on what is selected in the radio buttons.

Sorry if I haven't described my problem to well, its just I haven't used CF for a while now and trying my best to get back into it.

All apprciate all the help you can give.

Thanks,
George

    Correct answer Adam Cameron.

    Well...  It is a form variable that has been submitted from my form.  But it is a dynamic variable which is causing my trouble and how to syntax it.

    The variable name #form["result"&ilist99id]# should look something like this form.result12345 when concatinated.


    The variable name #form["result"&ilist99id]# should look something like this form.result12345 when concatinated.

    Right.  So which part is the struct, and which part is the key?

    Note that the key value for structKeyExists() is a STRING... so...it can be able expression that evaluates to a string.

    "result"&ilist99id

    This is a string, isn't it...?

    So...

    ... what does structKeyExists(form, "result"&ilist99id) give you?

    P.s Dont think I made it clear, I need the option to have a 'save all' aswell as to save individually also.

    I do that sort of thing like this:

    On the form page:

    <cfoutput query="something">

    <input name = static_part#dynamic_part#>

    on the results page.

    <cfloop list = "#form.fieldnames#" index = ThisField>

    <cfif left(ThisField, 11) is static_part>

    <cfset ThisID = RemoveChars(ThisField, 1, 11>

    <cfset ThisValue = form[ThisField]>

    then process as required.

    Thanks for your reply Dan... Although this works when I want a save all button, but wont work if I want to save each individually also.  Any other suggesions ?
