    <p>Currently working on trying to figure out asynchronous submission in ColdFusion. I always have trouble with this. I have a form that I want to submit to a remote CFC and get some sort of response back. (Eventually this form is going to have a draft like function...) I know how to set up each part: the form and the CFC. My problem is connecting them!!! There was some similar post about this, but none offer sufficient information....for me at least.</p> <p>Form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfform action = "/cfc/request.cfc?method=updateRequest" method = "post" name = "requestForm" id = "requestForm" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt; ........&lt;!-- Fields redacted --&gt; &lt;/cfform&gt; </code></pre> <p>CFC Method (this was just a test):</p> <pre><code>&lt;cffunction name="updateRequest" access="remote" returntype="numeric"&gt; &lt;cfargument name="form" type="struct" required="yes"&gt; &lt;cfset var status = 0&gt; &lt;cfreturn status&gt; &lt;/cffunction&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note: my CFC function is set to remote etc. etc. etc...</p> <p>I have my form here which should post to the cfc, however it actually <em>goes</em> to the cfc page. I don't want this. I've grown so frustrated with trying to use ajax with ColdFusion. I'm ready to resort to just using jQuery to submit it. I can do it jQuery...however I don't know how to get the fields into a struct. (This form is going to be large...) I'd like to see how to send form information as a struct in either ColdFusion or jQuery. I want to be able to retain the form field names.</p> <p>Even if someone could point me in the right direction...that would be great. I've tried to find a GOOD tutorial on this for sometime and have not been able too.</p>

    1. COYou can't do it in straight jQuery using jQuery's serialize() method on the form itself? http://api.jquery.com/serialize/

    2. COWhy does the form information _have_ to be sent in as a struct? If you were to use serialize(), it passes in a key/value pair string. Can't you modify the updateRequest() method to accept a string and then manipulate the string internally? Heck, pass it off to a private method that creates a struct from the key/value pairs and now you've got a CF struct with which to work.

    3. COWell, I want to be able to handle file uploads...I was under the impression that you needed the form field name...I had read somewhere there is a way to do it...I'll try your suggestion.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
