bruce got it...
#form[bestpracticeID]#
but we are using an older version - CF 4.5 and that solution generated an
error. I decided to restructure things a little, so i didn't need the
evaluate function. the problem i run into with evaluate() is that when the
content of the form field contains unmatched quotes, it throws an error.
for example:
form.q_1 = "this is an answer that wouldn't work - notice single quote."
form.q_2 = "another answer just so it looks like there is something to loop
through."
when you loop through:
<cfloop ... >
<cfinsert ... >
INTO tablename (bestpracticeID)
VALUES ('#evaluate("form.q_#bestpracticeID#")#')
</cfinsert>
</cfloop>
it hits the single quote in the first variable's value and an error is
generated. but i solved it -- now the users save one answer at a time.
so now i can set: form.answer = "this is an answer that wouldn't work" and
take out the loop because there is only one answer per form. no need to
Band-Aid the cut, just amputate the finger... now i'm movin' on to the next
problem... ;)
