Question : 'onclick=' for calling a cfm function (multiple times) - what am I doing wrong?

Can u help? [posted on HTML page too as I didn't know which forum was best fit!]

I have a function on one of my web pages to allow a user to interact (vote) on a specific topic EASILY by 'merely' clicking a 'yes or no' jpg image.
The image calls a .cfm page that inspects my voting database and, pending result, either returns an image to be displayed called 'yes.jpg' or 'no.jpg'.

The 'onclick="this.src = 'process.cfm...'" works great for this:

See:


BUT ...
It only works ONCE! i.e. the user can only click the image ONCE to change their vote - (per page refresh) - which is a bugger because I'm realy hoping to allow the user (for whatever reason) to press the button more than once! (what if, for example, they make a mistake).

What am I doing wrong!?  I was under the impression that I could be tricky and have the 'onclick=' work limitless times.

thanks!  any OTHER easy work arounds would be much appreciated!

Answer : 'onclick=' for calling a cfm function (multiple times) - what am I doing wrong?

you can pass the vote count as a variable



where act is the amount to increment the vote
so on the processing page

update table
set field=field+>

and at teh end of the process.cfm page
