How To Submit From Cfwindow

I am using a cfgrid that had a add link that opens a cfwindow that displays some checkboxes. I have a button that calls a JS function that is supposed to insert or update the database. I cannot seem to pass the Id and the checkbox value for submit. It comes up with # signs. Basically how do i pass those values.

Here is the code with the grid and also the submit code(JS):

Okay...couple of things here. The last time you posted three weeks back, it was about this same issue. Back then I had said this:

Quote

Tell you what, come back with some examples of your code (and please, make sure it's code you've actually written so you understand what it's doing) and what you've tried to resolve your issues and we'll be glad to help out.

I've emphasized and underlined that part above because by now it's pretty clear that the code you're working on isn't your own. What you're dealing with there is a fairly involved presentation layer using cfwindow modals and Ajax to do the heavy lifting. You would need to know how to go about debugging Ajax in CF for you to get anywhere.

I appreciate that you've visited this time to post nearly 300 lines of code but you've mentioned nothing about your efforts (and results) to resolve this issue. I get the impression that you're probably in way over your head here and perhaps should consider hiring a CF dev with more experience or maybe contact the dev(s) who wrote this originally and ask for their assistance. This forum can help with single issues where you post some code but what you've done here is post practically every line of two pages which tells me you're not even sure where the offending code is...which in turn tells me you either haven't bothered to narrow down the issue through trying to figure it out yourself or you don't know how to.

There's nothing wrong with being a CF beginner but given that you've asked virtually identical questions 3 weeks apart and in this case vomited up the entirety of 2 code pages hints at something else involved here. Do you even own this code? Clearly you didn't write it as it's rather complicated and the actual author wouldn't need to ask "I cannot seem to pass the Id and the checkbox value for submit". That's a pretty rudimentary question to be asking for such an advanced piece of code. Nobody here can reproduce what you've done or even begin to suggest debugging efforts because the crucial backend Ajax piece is missing...and that's something I'm not sure you can even identify.

Do us all a favor: tell us a little about your situation and how it is you came to be involved with this code project and how much actual experience as a CF dev you have. We're here to help if we can but that help doesn't include helping a CF novice tackle projects where a CF expert is clearly needed.
