There's a place into my screen that I populate a label with a specific string value after some interaction with my user during the runtime. I use javascript for that.
Is there anyway to get the value of this lavel with my controller after its POST method is activated ?
Thanks, guys !
Option #1
Put the value in an HTML <input> element with a name attribute? Might need to dress down
the input element, since it will look like a textbox.
Option #2
Mirror the value in a hidden input <input type="hidden" value="yourValue" /> inside the form you're posting.

A lot of folks on Stack Overflow are probably trying to fix forms that don't submit, but I'm actually hoping to do the opposite!
What I'd like to do for an art project is make a form with a "joke" field -- say, your SSN, your bank account number, your fingerprints or retina scans or DNA code, or something super personal like that. But I don't want the number in our server logs, and I don't want it to be transmitted over the internet at all. I don't want any legal liability!
Basically the idea is just to ask for something audacious, but not to handle the data that may or may not come from users who actually put it in.
So, is there a way to make a field that acts as a normal form field, but where nonetheless we would feel "safe" that users who actually do put their sensitive info in the field will be protected?
What's the "safest" approach to something like this?
Form fields require a name to be submitted:
If any of the following conditions are met, then skip these substeps for this element:
[…]
The field element is not an input element whose type attribute is in the Image Button state, and either the field element does not have a name attribute specified, or its name attribute's value is the empty string.
[…]
So you could simply use an input without name attribute:
<input type="text">
Be careful with your "jokes", if you want that the information of the field is not submitted, then, you can simply leave it out of the form element like this:
<form action="... >
<input type="... >
</form>
<input type="... > <!-- This field won't be submitted-->
I'm looking for a way to have a button toggeling the field of my form. When "locking" the form with the toggle button no data can be typed. When "unlocking" data should be allowed to be typed. What I want to achieve with this is simple avoiding users to accidentally type.
I found the code below and it works. Only problem is that it only applies to one input field. I want it to work on more that one.
<input type="checkbox" id="yourBox">
<input type="text" id="yourText">
<script>
document.getElementById('yourBox').onchange = function() {
document.getElementById('yourText').disabled = this.checked;
};
</script>
Mark the fields you want to disable with a CSS class, and then use jQuery to disable them.
jQuery - Disable Form Fields
If you want a pure Javascript solution, just repeat this line
document.getElementById('yourText').disabled = this.checked;
for each field.
Or, you can do something like this this: How to Get Element By Class in JavaScript?. Note that you can assign multiple CSS classes to the same field, so assign another class to identify those fields that need to be disabled.
I have the following input:
<input id="whereInput" type="text" name="where" placeholder="around..." geodata="-73.6050237,45.5511518" value="Current Location">
I want to pass the geodata as the value to the get parameter, but not its value.
in other words I want where=-73.6050237,45.5511518 but not where=Current%20Location
Thanks,
Store the value you actually want to submit in a hidden input with a different name.
If the submitted value is "Current Location" then read the data from the other field instead.
I have a form in commonspot, which uses hidden field to pass the information to next form,which it got from a previous form, but I'm not sure about the syntax for the default value of hidden fields. I have tried using form.fieldname, evaluate(form.fieldname), and #form.filedname#.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks,

Ardash - you should paste some actual code to help us understand what you mean.
In general if you want a "default" value (for the case where the item doesn't exist previously) you should use cfparam like so:
<cfparam name="form.myField" default="*some default value*"/>
Then in your hidden field you can safely do this:
<input type="hidden" name="myField" value="<cfoutput>#form.myField#</cfoutput>"/>
Hope this helps. Paste some code for a better response :)
You can list the field names submitted to the page using this method:
<cfoutput>#form.fieldnames#</cfoutput>
alternatively, you can get the field names and data:
<cfdump var="#form#">
This might help you figure out what is going on.
I have a form and inside it I have a country/city/etc selection.
The form is inside a zone.
When calling the onSelected for make the change of the country/city, when returning I loose the other form data. How can I keep it ?
I think a zone inside the form would help, but I am getting:
Form components may not be placed inside other Form components.
The Ubigeos type is just a component with other selects that are filled from the pais select
My .tml is
<t:zone t:id="datosPersonalesZone">
<form t:type="form" t:id="formulariodatospersonales" t:zone="datosPersonalesZone">
<t:errors/>
Sexo: <select t:type="Select" t:id="sexo" t:value="actual.sexo" model="sexo" />
País: <input t:type="Select" t:id="pais" model="paises" t:value="pais" t:zone="ubigeosZone"/>
<t:zone t:id="ubigeosZone">
<input t:type="Ubigeos" t:id="ubigeo_nacimiento" t:ubigeo="ubigeoNacimiento" t:zone="ubigeosZone"/>
</t:zone>
</form>
Regards !
You either have to submit a form and process country selection differently (i.e. only updating form contents by returning a block) or try using ideas from FormFragment component and TriggerFragment mixin (probably you can't use them directly but you can try extending them to support select components).
Personally, I go with first option - I have a "SubmitFormOnEvent" mixin and attach it to select-s in the form. Then I found that similar approach is demonstrated at http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au/jumpstart/examples/javascript/ajaxselect1 -> so you just can start with that example and update it to your needs.
