Radio button/link question 1

[MorganGreylock]

Hello,

I have a dynamic list of radio button objects on my page, the user selects one, then once one is selected, clicks on a link to perform a certain operation on that item. My problem is getting the information of what radio button they clicked on to the link. Right now, I have links like this:

<a href="webpage.cfm?action=edit">Edit</a>
<a href="webpage.cfm?action=assign_priority">Prioritize</a>
<a href="webpage.cfm?action=resolve">Resolve</a>
...

but before they click on one of these, I want to be able to send also which button they clicked on, so I know which record to perform the operation on.

Does that make sense? I'd like to keep the operations as links, as the users who will be using this... how shall I say... are relatively simple folks, and I don't want to confuse them. In any event, can this be done, either with pure CF or with CF and javascript?

Thanks in advance,
MG

Assuming the name of your radio button is thisVal

  <a href="javascript:window.location='webpage.cfm?action=edit&seld='+document.getElementById('thisVal').value">Edit</a>
  <a href="javascript:window.location='webpage.cfm?action=assign_priority&seld='+document.getElementById('thisVal').value">Prioritize</a>
  <a href="javascript:window.location='webpage.cfm?action=resolve&seld='+document.getElementById('thisVal').value">Resolve</a>

Should work

Oh yeah, you need to wrap it all in a FORM tag.. you know <form name="radioform"> before your <cfoutput> and </form> after
