Form action help

[jeff1]

I would like to include the same form in many pages and post the form back to itself. How can I specify the form to post back to itself without using the url, because the url will not be the same. I am experiencing a brain block on this one guys.

Thanks in advance for your help

That is my favourite trick. Here are two handy expressions:

The Logical Path to this file: #GetDirectoryFromPath(ExpandPath("*.*&quot)#

The FileName of this File: #GetFileFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#<br>

so... your form would look like..
(don't forget the CFOUTPUT tags

<form action=&quot;#GetFileFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#&quot; ...

Oops... some extra spacing is in order...

Thanks, Works Great

ColdFusion takes the possable right out of impossable

Is there a reason that the #GetFileFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()) returns uppercase characters ?

Yes, CFFILE defaults its resulting variables to upper case.. so you might want to use lcase(x) when specifying a file's name before creating, or displaying to the screen. Lcase makes the string lower case.

I have found that sinse I am &quot;including&quot; the page I must use &quot; #GetFileFromPath(getbasetemplatepath())#&quot; . When using &quot;#GetFileFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#&quot; the file from the include path was returned.

I want to thank you guys for your help I am a self learning CF guy and without help from people like you I would still be wadding in the world of stagnant pages.

Thanks again

I think we're all self taught.
