Why won't this work now ?

I have the following code in my action page, and it works.

..then update table below.....

However,when I switch it to one form only, (no action page, submitting to it self), I change it slightly by adding

<cfif structkeyexists(form, "btnSubmit")> before everyting else.

...then update tables....

Now the tables are not being updated. Why did the extra cfif structkeyexists prevent the form from working now ?

There is no need for all the IFs. In the first case, <cfif StructKeyExists(form, "fieldnames")> should have come before <cfif form.urdn_action is "1"> anyway. This is because, once a form is submitted, Coldfusion automatically creates the list form.fieldnames. In fact, it is suffiecient in both cases to use <cfif isDefined("form.urdn_action") and form.urdn_action is "1">

I will have to test once the server is back up from maintenance.

So I do not have to check to see if the submit button was clicked. I just check to see if the radio button was selected and which one was selected, value 1 or 2. ?

So when I first enter the page, the radio button will not be there so it will pass thru straight to the form itself. when I check the first radio button and submit the form to itself, the radio button is now there with a value, of 1 so <cfif isDefined("form.urdn_action") and form.urdn_action is "1"> is now true, and the rest of the code, ListFirst, etc., should then all work like before, since the extra form variable is no longer there ?

Am I understanding this correctly now ?

You only have to check for the form being submitted once. It either was or it wasn't. You have 3 checks.

Try cfdumping your form and see it you have anything called btnSubmit.
