In this exercise, you will modify the Trip Search Results page to let the user view the details of any trip. To do this, you will convert each trip name entry in the results page to a link, which will display the trips detailed information in the detail page.
Use the following steps to link the Trip Search Results page (tripsearchresult.cfm) to the Trip Detail page (tripdetail.cfm).
#tripName#
in the cfoutput
block with the following code:
<a href="tripdetail.cfm?ID=#URLEncodedFormat(tripID)#">#tripName# </a>
Note: The URLEncodedFormat
is a ColdFusion function that returns a URL-encoded string. Spaces are replaced with %20
, and nonalphanumeric characters with equivalent hexadecimal escape sequences. The function lets you pass arbitrary strings within a URL, because ColdFusion automatically decodes URL parameters that are passed to the page.
The Trip Search Results page displays a hyperlink for each trip name, as the following figure shows:
You might notice that the dates and prices in both the Trip Detail and Trip Search Results pages are unformatted. You will improve the appearance of the application in Exercise 4: Enhancing the look of the Trip Search Results and Trip Detail pages.
