DATAFLD Attribute | dataFld Property

Sets or retrieves which field of a given data source, as specified by the dataSrc property, to bind to the specified object.

Syntax

HTML	<ELEMENT DATAFLD = sField ... >
Scripting	object.dataFld [ = sField ]

Possible Values

sField

String that specifies the field name.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see dynamic properties.

Example

In this example, a text box is bound to the flavor field supplied by a data source object with an ID of ice_cream. Because the text box is contained within a table, the text box is repeated and all values in the flavor column are displayed.

Sample Code

<TABLE DATASRC="#ice_cream">
   <TR><TD><INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX DATAFLD=flavor></TD></TR>
</TABLE>

In this example, the SELECT object is bound to the card_type column of a data source control with an ID of order. The value of the field in the data set determines the option that is initially selected. In addition, when the user selects a different option from the SELECT, the value of the card_type field in the current record of the data set is updated.

<SELECT DATASRC="#order" DATAFLD="card_type">
   <OPTION>Visa
   <OPTION>Mastercard
   <OPTION>American Express
   <OPTION>Diner's Club
   <OPTION>Discover
</SELECT>
