Passing a Coldfusion variable in an onClick function in href
Posted on 2011-03-02
I have an href
<a href="javascript:void(0);"
and it controls the show/hide of a lightbox.
I can't get the variable #currentRTIID# to pass in the function I'm using. Either that or I can't get the page it passes to (which is actually just showing/hiding a div.
Help!

Hi,
This should work,
You will need to put <cfoutput></cfoutput> tags around that line your code for the variables to be resolved.
Otherwise the variables will be sent to your browser with the hashes (#variable#)

Sorry, I just realised that when you pass variables into javascript, you only need to send the value.
If you publish you javascript function, I can check that you are retrieving the value correctly.
Javascript should look something like this:
function showpopup(lvcurrentrtiid)
{
The variable lvcurrentrtiid is what you use to do whatever you need to do.
}
Link should look like this:
<cfoutput><a href="javascript:void(0);"

Just wrap your CF variable around the <cfoutput> Tag
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="showPopUp('currentRTIID=<cfoutput>#currentRTIID#</cfoutput>')"><cfoutput>#fixedDisplayName#</cfoutput></a>
Thanks for the help but that's actually not the problem I'm having (apologies if I confused you). The problem I'm having is that the variable (which I can see in the link) is not carrying over to the hidden div when the link is clicked.
In other words, <a href="javascript:void(0);"
Thanks!

You have aProblem in your JS Syntax:
If you pass 2 Values to a JS function you must seperate them with a comma, not a '='.
showPopUp('currentRTIID=12
showPopUp('currentRTIID','
in your JS you do it like this
function showPopUp ( param, val){
// now you can use param which holds the first value you submitted to Your JS function ( currentRTIID)
// and second you can use val which holds the first value you submitted to Your JS function ( 123555)
var theurl = 'http://your-url.com/your-page.cfm?' + param + '=' + val + '';
window.open(""+theurl +"", "YourWindowName", "width=300,height=400,left
}
