Hi,
I'm trying to make sense of data in an sql table that resulted from input on a
webform that had been programmed in coldfusion.
an example of coldfusion code is below ... the example is to record the month
of birth. i understand the user selects values of 1-12 to indicate month of
birth (jan-dec). What I don't understand is the <option value="0"> that
appears before the lines for jan-dec. We noticed the dropdown appears with a
blank space when the page opens and a person selects jan-dec below this
blankspace. Does the option value="0" mean that a value of 0 is written if the
dropdown is left blank, nothing is selected? Any insights if this is
discernible from the code example provided would be greatly appreciated!
<td valign="top"><div align="right">* Birthday: </div></td>
<td> </td>
<td><select name="datebirthmm" style="background-color: ##E6E6E6; border: 1
solid ##000000">
<option value="0">
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 1>selected</cfif> value="1">Jan
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 2>selected</cfif> value="2">Feb
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 3>selected</cfif> value="3">Mar
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 4>selected</cfif> value="4">Apr
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 5>selected</cfif> value="5">May
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 6>selected</cfif> value="6">Jun
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 7>selected</cfif> value="7">Jul
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 8>selected</cfif> value="8">Aug
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 9>selected</cfif> value="9">Sep
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 10>selected</cfif> value="10">Oct
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 11>selected</cfif> value="11">Nov
<option <cfif form.datebirthmm EQ 12>selected</cfif> value="12">Dec
</select>
