You could also do it like this: <tr <CFIF latestlinks.currentrow MOD 2 is 1> bgcolor="##DFDFDF" <CFELSE> bgcolor="##FFFFFF" </CFIF>> which I think is slightly faster in CF5 or earlier.
Regarding DE, or Delay Evaluation, this is straight from CF5 docs: "DE prevents evaluation of a string as an expression when it is passed as an argument to IIf or Evaluate." ----- Original Message ----- From: charlie griefer To: CF-Talk Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 11:23 AM Subject: Re: Alternating Row Colours & Number Listing in CFOutput Cutter (CF_Talk) writes: > Could you please explain what the following statement does? > > "###iif(currentrow mod 2, DE('DFDFDF'), DE('FFFFFF'))#" actually, i'd appreciate an explanation as well. I understand the IIF()...but i never really understood DE()...what exactly it does or why it makes the world a better place :) thx. charlie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
