Question

I have a button in Coldfusion:

<cfinput name="Accept" type="button" value="Acknowledge"
    onclick="ColdFusion.Window.hide('my_alert')">

Currently the button, when clicked, hides the alert window. I’d also like the button to set my variable var1 to YES. Is there anyway I can add that to onclick? How would I go about doing that? Thank you.

I assume you want to set a javascript variable? If so, use ColdFusion.Window.onHide() function, like so:

<script>
function onHideWindow(name) {
   var1 = "yes";
}

function hideWindow() {
   ColdFusion.Window.onHide('my_alert', onHideWindow);
   ColdFusion.Window.hide('my_alert');
}
</script>
...
<cfinput name="Accept" type="button" value="Acknowledge" onclick="hideWindow()">
