03/02/2022, 6:12 PMIt is simple case.
George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:15 PMWithin a form, there are three cftextarea with richtext enabled. Each cftextarea has different text. Say textarea1 has text "Hello1", textarea2 has text "Hello2" and textarea3 has text "Hello3". When we submit the form with ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm, the values we get on server are "Hello1" for all textareas. There is no other code in between, so I assume it is a bug.

03/02/2022, 6:16 PMDo you have unique names/ids for each text area
bdw429s
03/02/2022, 6:16 PMAlso, do you have some sample code for your form?
bdw429s
03/02/2022, 6:16 PMSeems pretty straight forward, but I'll admin I haven't used the cftextarea stuff in over a decade

George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:17 PMYes, id/name are all unique
George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:17 PMI will create a sample code when file the ticket so they could reproduce. I actually read the cfajax.js and know there is a bug there.
George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:18 PMBelieve or not, current cfajax.js assume there is only one cftextarea in the form, that is the root cause.

03/02/2022, 6:19 PMThat's unfortunate

03/02/2022, 6:19 PMYou can probably create a working try.cfm example that submits to httpbin.org

03/02/2022, 6:19 PMGood idea. Thanks!

03/02/2022, 6:25 PMif I use the following code, I get values from all 3 that are different:
<cfdump var="#FORM#" /><cfform name="testform" method="post" action="cftextarea.cfm"><cftextarea name="textarea1"></cftextarea><br /><cftextarea name="textarea2"></cftextarea><br /><cftextarea name="textarea3"></cftextarea><input type="submit" value="submit" /></cfform>Mark Takata (Adobe)
03/02/2022, 6:26 PMAm I misunderstanding your use case?
g
George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:26 PMYes, a little.
George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:27 PMThe case only happens when using ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm
George Meng
03/02/2022, 6:28 PMThe app was written long time ago and we have a lot of ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm in place.

03/02/2022, 6:29 PMAh. I see. Is it possible to run it through JQuery instead? Just collect the FORM object and pass it asynch that way? A LOT of that cf ajax/cfform stuff is using pretty old libraries. I personally stopped using it a long while back just to prevent headaches.

03/03/2022, 2:27 AMThe functionality of ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm is so great, I could switch to ajax, but has to write quite some code since there are a lot of them in the code right now, have to replace each one of them. The only issue I experience so far is the cftextarea.
