use the Coldfusion navigate script instead

javaScript:ColdFusion.navigate

i changed the code but it does not work
>  i want that it should open in the same page without refresh

Do you want an inscreen "pop-up"  ?  If so, you want to add cfwindow

<cfwindow name="popUp" draggable="true" modal="true" resizable="true" initshow="false" height="500" width="760" center="true" bodyStyle="overflow:hidden"/>

Then your javascript could look like this...
 ColdFusion.navigate('thePage.cfm,'popUp');
 ColdFusion.Window.show('popUp');


If you want to replace a portion of your screen, then you need to identify that portion of your screen using either cfdiv or cflayout.

Then when you use Coldfusion.Navigate you will reference that portion of the screen instead.



i want to open in the portion of the layout.
well if us ee my above i have to do in same page as:


<cfoutput query="details">
  <tr bgcolor="###iif(currentrow MOD 2,DE('ffffff'),DE('efefef'))#">
    <td width="34%">#title#</a></td>
    <td width="33%">#DateFormat(postedon,'dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy')#</td>
    <td width="33%">#category#</td>
 	<td><a href="" onClick="ColdFusion.navigate('news.cfm?view=#newsID#');">View</a>
  </td></tr>
  </cfoutput>
  <tr><td colspan="4" align="center"><cfoutput>#pagination.getRenderedHTML()#</cfoutput></td></tr>
  <cfelse>
  <tr><td colspan="4">&nbsp;</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="4" align="center"><img src="images/image.gif" /><br />No News Found?</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="4">&nbsp;</td></tr>
  </cfif>
</table>
<cflayout type="border">
  <cflayoutarea position="top">
  <cfif isDefined('url.view')>
  <cfinvoke component="#request.cfcpath#.tools" method="getNews" newsID="#trim(url.view)#" returnvariable="details"/>
  <cfoutput query="details">
  <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1">
  <caption><img src="images/reply.gif">&nbsp;Read</caption>
    <tr>
      <td width="48%">#title#</td>
      <td width="52%">#DateFormat(postedon,'dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy')#</td>
    </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="2"><strong>#category#</strong></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="2">#news#</td>
      </tr>
      <cfif image_link IS NOT "">
      <tr><td colspan="2" align="center">Attachment: <a href="download.cfm?file=#image_link#" target="_blank">#image_link#</a></td></tr>
      </cfif>
  </table>
  </cfoutput>
  
</cfif>
</cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>

Your Coldfusion.navigate is missing the container parameter, so it's treated as a normal link.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=JavaScriptFcns_24.html

See my example..

Note the container 'theArea'  matches the name of the cflayoutarea name...

ColdFusion.navigate('thePage.cfm,'theArea');

<cflayoutarea position="top" name="theArea">


not working:
check this link:

Your page is throwing a javascript error when it's loaded (be sure you have javascript error notification turned on in your browser so you will be aware of errors)

Since you have an error when the page loads the javascript may not work.  You need to fix the error first.   Try commenting out part of your code to see when the error goes away, that will help you narrow down to the code with the error.

Btw, I thought with cflayout type border that the Center area was required?  
You should check the documentation on that ...
i removed all js errrors and add this <cfimajaximport tags="cflayout-border,cfform"> on main page
i ran again on clik of the view link:
i got this error:

i tried changing the code and did something like this:



but that also did not worked

<cfform>
  <cfoutput query="details">
  <tr bgcolor="###iif(currentrow MOD 2,DE('ffffff'),DE('efefef'))#">
  <td width="34%">#title#</a></td>
  <td width="33%">#DateFormat(postedon,'dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy')#</td>
  <td width="33%">#category#</td>
  <td><cfinput type="button" name="view" value="#newsID#">
  </td></tr>
  </cfoutput>
  </cfform>
  <tr><td colspan="4" align="center"><cfoutput>#pagination.getRenderedHTML()#</cfoutput></td></tr>
  <cfelse>
  <tr><td colspan="4">&nbsp;</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="4" align="center"><img src="images/image.gif" /><br />No News Found?</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="4">&nbsp;</td></tr>
  </cfif>
</table>
<cfdiv bind="url:divsource.cfm?view={view}" ID="theDiv"/>

Open in new window

this *should* work:

<cfoutput query="details">
  <tr bgcolor="###iif(currentrow MOD 2,DE('ffffff'),DE('efefef'))#">
  <td width="34%">#title#</a></td>
  <td width="33%">#DateFormat(postedon,'dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy')#</td>
  <td width="33%">#category#</td>
  <td><input type="button" name="view#newsID#" value="Read" onclick="ColdFusion.navigate('divsource.cfm?view=#newsID#', 'theDiv')">
  </td></tr>
 </cfoutput>

  <td width="33%">#category#</td>

  </td></tr>
 </cfoutput>
....
<cfdiv id="theDiv" bindonload="false" bind="url:divsource.cfm?view={view.id@click}"></cfdiv>

hmmm... definitely NOT working right with multiple buttons with same NAME but different IDs...

myself, why are you using   cflayout  with type border?   I assumed it was because you are setting up several areas (including the requried CENTER area).   If you intend to have only one block, then switch to cfdiv as azadi has suggested, his post right before this one what I was saying with cfdiv instead of cflayout.  
Great
