Cannot get form values to filter grid in CF11

[MusicManMD]

After upgrading our shared hosting server from CF9 to CF11 all of our grids broke.  I've managed to get the toolbars back with several form elements but those elements' values are not getting passed to the CFC to filter the grid data.  This worked perfectly in CF9. Does any know what may have changed?

javascript Data:

	tbar.add( {
		xtype: 'textfield',
		name: 'searchfield',
		fieldLabel: 'Search'
		},
		{
		xtype: 'comboAge',
		handler: test
		},
		{
		xtype:'button',
		text:"Filter Grid",
		tooltip:"Filter Grid",
		handler:function(){ColdFusion.Grid.refresh('empGrid')}
		},'-->',
		{
		xtype:'button',
		text:"Add User Account",
		tooltip:"Add a user account",
		handler:addUserAccount}
	);

var getSearch = function() {

    try {                       

        //alert(Ext.getDom('searchfield').value);

        return Ext.getCmp('searchfield').getValue();

    }                

    catch (e) {

    return "";  //return default value in case of error.

    }     

}

GRID CODE:

<cfgrid format="html" name="empGrid" width="800" pagesize=15 sort=true title="Team Database" collapsible="false" insert="yes" delete="yes" bind="cfc:grid.getAllTeams({cfgridpage},{cfgridpagesize},{cfgridsortcolumn},{cfgridsortdirection},getSearch())">

        <cfgridcolumn name="TeamID" display="true" header="ID" />

        <cfgridcolumn name="TeamName" display="true" header="Team Name"/>

        <cfgridcolumn name="Age" display="true" header="Age"/>

    </cfgrid>

Hi MusicManMD,

I've posted a comment on your ticket 4048126 containing a workaround (bind to a hidden input).

Thanks!,
