Question

usage of cftextarea and get value

I used the cftextarea to get the FCK editor, like :

<cftextarea name="txt_h_1" message="Insérer le texte d'Accueil !" height="400" width="700" disabled="No" required="Yes" toolbaronfocus="No" bindonload="No" html="No" enabled="Yes" visible="Yes" richtext="Yes" toolbar="Basic" skin="silver">#get_param.txt_home_1#</cftextarea>

So the name of the element is : TXT_H_1

Ans when I want to save the content via an update query, it says that :

Element TXT_H_1 is undefined in FORM

All other FORM elements are well returned.

then how to get the value of the cftextarea ?

(I used a CFFORM with <input> inside instead of <cfinput>)

thanks for answer.

Pierre.

As you say "If I copied the CFIDE (all files) in a website root, it does work."

You have no no need to copy it again and again. You can do it from IIS also. You need to add CFIDE under your virtual directory.

Like if have site named "anysite", you need to right click on and choose add. After clicking add named the virtual directory as "CFIDE" and point it to actual CFIDE directory of coldfusion.

What are you looking at to determine that you got every form element except the textarea?

After the form submit,

I expect to get all form.xxx elements

i have all except the one from the cftextarea

which should be : #form.txt_h_1#

The cftextarea name is : txt_h_1

This is the way I get all other fields values entered in the form.

Thanks for your participation.

Pierre.

Here's the cause of the trouble: disabled="No" enabled="Yes".

The browser probably disables the textarea the moment it encounters the word 'disabled'.  In any case, it is repetition to use the attribute 'disabled' as well as 'enabled'. In fact you could omit both!
