I have a drop down menu being created from a query:
<cfselect name="class" size="1">
<option value="" selected="selected"></option>
<cfoutput query="qGetClasses">
<option
value="#qGetClasses.primaryKey#">#qGetClasses.sectionTitle# #DateFormat(qGetClasses.startingDate,
"mm/dd/yyyy")# - #DateFormat(qGetClasses.endingDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")#</option>
</cfoutput>
</cfselect>
What I would like to do is be able to change to color of the text based on
specific criteria, as in if the class is no accepting students. I would do
this through an CFIF clause (not created yet). I want to prove that the
formatting can be accomplished before I go to the next step of creating the
CFIF clause.
Problem. I was hoping it could be as simple as adding tags around the option
seen below:
<option value="#qGetClasses.primaryKey#"><font
color="#FF0000">#qGetClasses.sectionTitle# #DateFormat(qGetClasses.startingDate,
"mm/dd/yyyy")# - #DateFormat(qGetClasses.endingDate,
"mm/dd/yyyy")#</font></option>
However, coldfusion complains because of the # sign in <font color="#FF0000">.
A Simple Bold tag could suit my needs too but <b> or <strong> tags seem to have
no effect either.
Is it even possible to format text inside a drop down menu?
As always, thanks in advance!
