Using onChange with a CFquery

DrumAt5280 · Sep 7, 2005

The following Coldfusion code dynamically generates a list of suburbs in a pulldown menu.

I would like to use onChange="gotoURL();" so when a user selects a suburb from the menu it will take him to the correct page without a submit button. I know how to do this with plain HTML but not in Coldfusion.

CODE
<cfform id="forma" method="post" action="" name="forma">
<CFSELECT NAME="csFk"
QUERY="GetSuburb"
VALUE="suburbId"
DISPLAY="suburb" >
<OPTION value="0" selected>-- all location --</option>
</CFSELECT>
</CFFORM>

Any ideas? (I had posted this in the JavaScript forum but was asked to move it here)

This is one of the (many) nasty little reasons I don't like cfform. Up until now, you had to use html, there wasn't a way to do this in CF. But, if you're using CF 7, the cfselect tag now supports an onChange event. I don't believe previous versions had this functionality, but I don't use cfform so I can't be sure.

You'd probably be better off using html, though.

Hope This Helps!
