[thelist] Coldfusion: getting javascript variables

[Erik Mattheis]

>  > data['item1Name']= 'item 1';
>  > data['item1Action']= 'http://www.yourLink.com';
>  > data['item1X']= 100;

As you create and update these values you could also create and 
update hidden form fields on the page ...

<input type="hidden" name="item1Name" value="item 1" />
<input type="hidden" name="item1Action" value="http://www.yourLink.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="item1X" value="100" />

plus keep this one updated with the number of items:

<input type="hidden" name="num_items" value="1" />

Then submit the form and build a query:

<cfset my_query=QueryNew("name,action,x")>
<cfloop from="1" to="#form.num_items" index="this_item">
	<cfset temp=QuerryAddRow(my_query)>
	<cfset 
temp=QuerySetCell(my_query,"name",#Evaluate("#form.item" & 
#this_item# & "Name")#)>
	<cfset 
temp=QuerySetCell(my_query,"action",#Evaluate("#form.item" & 
#this_item# & "Action")#)>
	<cfset temp=QuerySetCell(my_query,"x",#Evaluate("#form.item" 
& #this_item# & "X")#)>
</cfloop>

Mind you, I didn't test that, but I think it was easier to write it 
out than explain it.
