Using same check box for both delete and restore operation 1

[ashw]

How can we use same checkboxes for both delete and restore operations like we do in hotmail and yahoo trash can. I know we will have to use Javascript, of which I know nothing. So Please help!! Can anyone recommend me a good book for integrating javascript with coldfusion??? I really need that!

I think the easiest way to do it is to put 2 submit buttons on your page with each having a specific name attribute - then on your action page, check to find out the value of the submit button and do accordingly:

<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;msgid&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;> Message 1
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;msgid&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;> Message 2

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;cmdDelete&quot; value=&quot;Delete&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;cmdMove&quot; value=&quot;Move to Folder&quot;>

Action Page:

<cfif isDefined(&quot;form.cmdDelete&quot>
Do delete stuff here
</cfif>

<cfif isDefined(&quot;form.cmdMove&quot>
Do Move stuff here
</cfif>

Combining it with some javascript to confirm deletions etc, would make the interface a lot nicer - I am not familiar with a cf specific site, but

http://www.houseoffusion.com

has a link to a JS-Jive mailing list that has a lot of cf members on it.
