Anthony asks a question about the CFCALENDAR tag:
I have a simple one... I think. I need to find out how to goto a URL when a date is selected using CFCalendar.For instance, I choose Oct 17, I want to goto a page a date page with url.date eq "2007-10-17"
I don't know flash, and have no idea how to accomplish what appears to be a simple operation.
Now technically I don't answer questions involving Flash Form stuff anymore. It was a fun feature, but in my opinion I'd use Flex 2 instead. But the calendar tag works in HTML forms as well so I thought I'd take a stab at this.
The docs for cfcalendar mention that it does indeed have an onChange event. However - you have to use ActionScript for this event. Now in theory - the calendar tag is just a Flex control. However - I had no idea what the control was, nor how to extra the current selected date. So I cheated. I know there is a getURL ActionScript function. This will fire off any URL, including a JavaScript one. So I began with this:
<cfform name="myform" action="test3.cfm">
<cfcalendar name="cal" onChange="getURL('javascript:test()')">
</cfform>
All this says is - when the date is selected, run the JavaScript function test (poorly named, I know). My test function then just does this:
<script>
function test() {
document.myform.submit();
}
</script>
As you can see - it submits the form. You would then write code to say if form.cal exists, cflocation and pass along the value.
