Value not updating

Post #1 of 4 (734 views)

Hello all,

I am having some trouble with a <select> HTML tag on one of my pages. I have a form that is supposed to get information from the <select> options before submitting.

<FORM ACTION="[area commerce]" METHOD="POST" name=payment>
...
<input type="hidden" name="cc_code" value="[value account_code]">
...
<select name=account_code tabindex="25001">
<option value="">-</option>
[cards]
<option value=[card-param code] [if-card-param !token] disabled="disabled"[/if-card-param]>[card-param reference]</option>
[/cards]
</select>

[cards] in this instance refers to the list of cards resulting from a query based on the customer ID.

My issue stems from the "account_code" value. From my understanding, the value of the <select> field should be updating based on which option is being selected. However, when I submit the form, the value being passed through "cc_code" is the value found on page load, not the one selected through the <option>. In other words, selecting an option does not change or update the value of "account_code" when submitting the form.

Am I trying to go about gathering this data value incorrectly? Am I missing something in the code in order to update this value?

Any help or pointers are appreciated. Thank you very much.

Best,
Mihai Dan

Mihai,

If I understand you correctly, you want [value account_code] to contain
the selected account_code submitting in the form previously?

If so, you can use [cgi account_code] to get the form submission on the
immediate next page only, or place [update values] earlier on the page
which will copy account_code from cgi to values space. (But which may have
other effects you don't want, so would need careful testing.)

Hello Jon,

Thank you for the help. It seems that I wasn't passing the value correctly as you mentioned. All works well now!
