Dynamic Multiple selection lists
Hi: I wanted to make some sort of search for my website that has check boxes. They look very very clean and easy to use for most users. I found a great help in (http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML/formatData7.htm) I write down some parts of the tutorial to ask my question. * input type=checkbox name=SelectedDepts value=Training Trainingbr input type=checkbox name=SelectedDepts value=Marketing Marketingbr input type=checkbox name=SelectedDepts value=HR HRbr input type=checkbox name=SelectedDepts value=Sales Salesbr If the user checked Marketing and Sales, the value of the SelectedDepts form field would be the list Marketing,Sales and you use the following SQL statement: SELECT * FROM Departmt WHERE Dept_Name IN (#ListQualify(Form.SelectedDepts,')#) In the livedoc the values weren't set dynamicly. Is it possible that the SelectDepts reads from a db table? I mean that the checkboxes come from a database table, is it possible?
