Hi Bob,
That's not working because <cfset eName = "" /> is just setting a empty
variable named eName it's not updating the query variable eName. Since your
in a cfoutput with a query attribute CF's going to look for a query variable
that matches first. IIRC the order of lookup is query, arguments, local,
cgi, url, form, cookie, client.
I think this accomplishes what you are trying to do.
<table >
<tr>
<th> Name </th> <th> Asset </th> <th> Category </th>
</tr>
<tr >
<cfset variables.lastEmp = "" />
<CFoutput query="qEmpAssets" >
<cfif comparenocase(variables.lastEmp, trim(eName))>
<cfset variables.lastEmp = trim(eName) />
<cfelse>
<cfset variables.lastEmp = "" />
</cfif>
<td > #variables.lastEmp# </td>
<td > #aTitle# </td>
<td > #cCategory# </td>
</CFoutput>
</tr>
</table>
Since it appears you are sorting the query by the ename you could group
output like so:
<CFoutput query="qEmpAssets" group="ename">
#eName# <br>
<cfoutput>
- #aTitle#
- #cCategory#
</cfoutput>
</CFoutput>
Of course you'd have to customize the layout
