multiple and dynamic edit form

[thnguyen-AohJo6]

Hi,

I want to create something similar to phpAdmin, where you check more than 1 records to be edited.  Then you are able to edit 1 record and submit changes or edit many records and submit changes.  I basically have a query that pull more than 1 records and display in a form to be edit, but the problem is how do I passing unique/dynamic form variables to the action page to be updated in the db.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I make the record id part of the form field name.

select id, name

etc

<cfoutput query = something>

<cfinput name = "name_#id#>

thanks.  I was thinking of something like that for a unique form name to pass over action page.  I am wondering over at the action page, how would I sort out the form variables to update the record into the database?

Just before I answered your question, I answered one on the Javascript updated element id not submitted by cfform thread. That answer had code for the action page

That's still on page one of this forum so you should have no trouble finding it.
