> Subject: making list update dynamic
>
>
>
> I have made some pages that display in columns and are
> updatable. There are
> actually over 50 entries they can make which are split between several
> pages. To update just the page the user is editing I have hardcoded the
> point on the list that should be updated. Well if all
> stayed exactly the same this would be fine. However, I need to make this
> more robust.
>
> 1. I will be having 4 different user groups that will need to update only
> their information. Each group has a different amount of entries to
> update. So for each group I currently would have to do a separate set of
> hardcoded if/else statements.
> 2. It is set up that if there is a change in one section it throws all my
> index(skilloffset) numbers off. They need to be able to add/subtract
> change what they want to be updated.
> So basically I want to take the attached code and make it dynamic. The
> CourseID is used by all groups. That is the one part that is used
> universally-it's the subgroups of this courseid that is unique to each
> group. (ie: each have reading as a course- but the reading skills are
> differnt for each of my four groups). So I'd like to make
> it something
> like
> <CFIF CourseID=1>
> <CFSET SkillOffset=#skilloffset#>
> </CFIF>

> I keep getting when I try to make it dynamic-"indexes must always
