RE: [CFCDev] Using Structs

[jeff tapper]

how about
state[2]= structNew();
state[2].name = "New York";
state[2].addb = "NY";
just adding each state into a new index of the first dimension.  Actually, 
theres no real need to use an array at all, it could all be a struct:

state = structNew();
state["AL"] = "Alabama";
state["NY"] = "New York";
state["MA"] = "Massachusettes";
<select name="states">
<cfloop collection="#states#" item="i">
        <cfoutput><option value="#i#">#states[i]#</option></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</select>

Then, how would you advanced to the next state by using single Dim Array?
<cfscript>
        state = arrayNew(1);
        state[1] = structNew();
        state[1].name = "Alabama";
        state[1].abbv = "AL";
        ...
        state[?].name = "Washington";
        state[?].abbv = "WA";
        return state;

Any drawback to doing it this way?

<cfscript>
        state = arrayNew(1);
        state[1] = structNew();
        state[1].name = "Alabama";
        state[1].abbv = "AL";
        ...
        return state;
</cfscript>
I think it's just easier to read and loop over state[index].name or
state[index].abbv. So the question is... which has a faster execute?

I'm having a minor problem thinking this afternoon. I have a CFC that
returns state abbreviations and state names as a structure. For the
life of me, I can't remember how to loop over the structure to input
it into a select box. Here's a sample of the cfc:
<cfscript>
                a = structNew();
                a.state = ArrayNew(2);
                a.state[1][1] = "AL";
                a.state[1][2] = "Alabama";
                ...
                return a;
</cfscript>
I just can't seem to loop over the structure properly using
<cfloop>...
Am I using the structure properly? Should this just be an array
passed back? Are there conventions for this?
The final output I'm looking for is:

        <select name="state">
                <option value="AL">Alabama
I just keep getting various java errors. Can someone help?

Thanks,
Wayne
