just wanted to clarify my question "Why wasn't it working". what i meant was, what errors did it show, or what did it do wrong. -----Original Message----- From: Dylan Bromby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 8:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: looping qty form input box in shopping cart table using cfoutput probably if she knew why it *wasn't* working she'd be able to make it work. but here's what i've done in the past to do this: let's say i have 10 rows on each page. i use CFLOOP FROM="1" TO="10" INDEX="count". then let's say i have a TEXT field in each row. assuming there's a unique ID in the database for each record, i would name each field NAME="var_#num#" and VALUE="#ID#" so that i would have var_1...var_10. the VALUE of each of these would be the respective unique ID. then at the bottom put your image submit button. to handle the update, use CFLOOP again FROM="1" TO="10" INDEX="num" and over EACH iteration, do something like CFSET temp = "var_"&#num# and then CFSET temp = #Evaluate(temp)# and that will give you the VALUE of each variable from the form so you can UPDATE your DB in each iteration of this CFLOOP. hope that makes sense. works really well for me. -----Original Message----- From: Phoeun Pha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 6:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: looping qty form input box in shopping cart table using cfoutput why wasnt it working before? what happened? ----- Original Message ----- From: megan sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 8:27 AM Subject: looping qty form input box in shopping cart table using cfoutput > Hi, > I am trying to build a shopping cart table that displays a customer's > intended purchases from a temporary database holding that information. > Each item and its description and cost get put on their own line in the > table using cfoutput.
