Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
But the onClick event doesn't recognize the CF variable. It has to be _javascript_.
When I convert the #linkStyle# to _javascript_ -target(){return #linkStyle#} - and place the _javascript_ in the onClick event as
(target(), there is no way for the value to change from what was originally returned in the script.
If the value of #linkstyle# returned in the script was FellSvc, (probably the last value returned from the query), each instance of
I'm thinking I need to loop over the variable from within the script or loop over the function from within the output of the query - loop over something, somehow, to get all the values for #linkSvc# separated out and into different onClick event instances.
I tried placing all the values for #linkSvc# in a list, in an array (which the _javascript_ function didn't like because it was a complex datatype), but it's not getting me closer to placing different values in each onClick event generated by outputting the query results.
I'm going to sleep on it. G'night, all and thanks for your input!

head
cfscript language=_javascript_
myFunction( ) {
alert(Hi);
}

/
so in your example, the columns in the current row of the query contain:
columnName Content
-- ---
linkNameApple
linkURL www.apple.com
linkStyleMinorRts
if column named linkStyle in the current row of the database contains
MinorRts
then outputting:
bra href=""
#linkName# /a
will yield:
bra href=""
Apple /a
As I understand it, that is exactly what you want.
The next row will have different values so the next link will reflect

Subject: Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a _javascript_ variable
Would this information help explain what I need?
Here's where the styles comes in:
I have a CSS stylesheet with these values:
#FellSvc{display:none;}
#MinorRts{display:none;}
#AmnInf{display:none;}
#AnteSter{display:none;}
In the db table, I have a column for the same styles from the
stylesheet. Let's say the column name is linkStyle (like Dick's
example). Another column in the db table has the text for the menu
link that displays on the page.
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to
the user interaction), an assoicated DIV with an ID equal to the
stylename displays its content because the onClick event tells the
matching style in the stylesheet to change display=none to
display=block.
Using Dick's example, just change the end to something like this:
Now, iterating over the query:
cfoutput query=menu
bra href=""
#linkName# /a
/cfoutput
Now, that doesn't work because #linkStyle# is CF and onClick needs js.
I don't know how to loop through this onClick variable to get the
range of values to be produced - one for each iteration of the results,
like:
menu item one: ...>
menu item two: ...>
menu item two: ...>
etc.
Does that help?
I need to be gone for a few hours, but I'll check back.
Thank you and Dick so much for sticking with me on this!!!
It sounds like you need to combine the results from the 2 queries
into
a single query objectOR write a more complex query to join all
the
tables involved to produce a single recordset.

Subject: Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a _javascript_ variable
The rendered output is a menu of links. One query column
returns the text for a link, another query column returns the target
for the link. The style name column is used in an onClick event to
set
a CSS style to display content when clicked.
The style name doesn't display on screen.
I'm able to generate all the values I need except for all the
stylename values. If I only had one result from the query, it would
work fine. But I can't get the style name value to change as
additional menu items are generated from the query results. Maybe
what
I need is help with _javascript_.
I don't know how to explain it any better. I guess that's a drawback
of not being able to talk in real time. Thanks for your efforts.

From the query results, I create the js: target() which returns
the value of the stylename field. How do I loop over the
stylename values so that I get one value per onClick event which
is generates multiple times based on the number of records in
the query?
I am sorry...
I can't understand what you are trying to do.
It is a simple matter to include the value of a column from the

in a line of text generated within the output tags...
But you are already doing that...
Maybe this would help me to help you:

Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
Hi Patric,
I'll try to consolidate information I've provided so far. I'm not at work today so I can't generate the exact code, but I'll do my best to simulate it.
Here goes:
Purpose of the code:
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to the user interaction), an associated DIV, with an ID equal to the stylename, displays the link's content. This is because the onClick event tells the matching style in the stylesheet to change display=none to display=block.
These are a sample of the values in the stylesheet:
#FellSvc{display:none;}
#MinorRts{display:none;}
#AmnInf{display:none;}
#AnteSter{display:none;}
The names of these styles are included as a column menu_bmarkLink in the db table.
Other relevant columns in the db table are: menu_Text and menu_nonBmarkLink.
(menu_nonBmarkLink is included in the query for a condition where a link doesn't have a bookmark, but has an external link instead. I don't think that matters for this post.)
The query is something like this:
cfquery name=q_menu dbname=faqmch
Select * from faq_menulinks
/cfquery
The output would be something like this:
menu_Textmenu_bmarkLinkmenu_nonBmarkLink
link1MinorRts
link2FellSvc
link3AmnInf
link4AnteSter
link5http://gosomewhereelse.com
My output would be inserted into HTML list items something like this:
cfoutput query=q_menu
liA HREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq
#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans
/a /li
/cfoutput
which could produce output like:
liA HREF=""
liA HREF=""
liA HREF=""
liA HREF=""
liA HREF="" /a /li
For links 1-4, the #Ans is the position in the screen where the content is displayed now that the onClick target style is set to display=block. (As mentioned previously, there is a div with the same name as the style that contains the content. Something like this:
div id=MinorRtsA minor has a lot of rights but they never think they have enough. They think they're old enough to make decisions for themselves, but some of those decisions could be deadly. a href="" content/a/div
If the solution to my problem is including another set of cfoutput tags somewhere in this code so that the value for:#menu_bmarkLink# displays properly (a different value for it in each list item instance), then great.
cfoutput query=q_menu
liA HREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq
#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans
/a /li
/cfoutput
I got on this not-so-wild ride, when I got an error on the output codeabove saying something like, onClick didn'tunderstand the variable. I took the tact of trying to make the #menu_bmarkLink# a js variable - which worked, but only to the extent that it returned only one value for the variable and repeated that value in each instance of a generated list item.
Can you help?

cfoutput query=getStyle
brsome stuff #styleName# some other stuff
/cfoutput
will provide getStyle.RecordCount linesof output, 1 for each row in

the #styleName# in each line of output will contain the styleName

Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
Yes, I want to output the stylenames as the html code is generated.
Sorry, I added the list after sending the previous code. (Actually, I don't care if I have a list of the stylenames or not; I just want to get one of the style name values from the query into each of the onClick events.) The format of the list is defaulted to commas.
Here's the code with the CF list.
cfqueryname=q_menu datasource=mchfaq
SELECT * from qa_menu
order by menu_sortText
/cfquery

cfset bmarklinkList = #ValueList(q_menu.menu_bmarkLink)#

/a/li

/ul
Basically, if the href value is an external URL, ignore the rest of the if statement. If the href value is a bookmark link, have the href go to a specific position on the page, (#Ans), and using CSS display the previously hidden content of the style names in the onClick.
I've substituted style name values where the js goes, like so:
liA HREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq #q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans
/a /li
liAHREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans

Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
Yes, I want to output the stylenames as the html code is generated.
Sorry, I added the list after sending the previous code. (Actually, I don't care if I have a list of the stylenames or not; I just want to get one of the style name values from the query into each of the onClick events.) The format of the list is defaulted to commas.
Here's the code with the CF list.
cfqueryname=q_menu datasource=mchfaq
SELECT * from qa_menu
order by menu_sortText
/cfquery
cfoutput
cfset bmarklinkList = #ValueList(q_menu.menu_bmarkLink)#
script language=_javascript_ type=text/_javascript_
!--
function targetid(){
return #bmarklinkList#;
}
--
/script
/cfoutput
ul
cfoutput query=q_menu
liAHREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq #q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans
/a/li
/cfoutput
/ul
Basically, if the href value is an external URL, ignore the rest of the if statement. If the href value is a bookmark link, have the href go to a specific position on the page, (#Ans), and using CSS display the previously hidden content of the style names in the onClick.
I've substituted style name values where the js goes, like so:
liA HREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq #q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans
/a /li
liAHREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#cfelse##Ans
/a /li
liAHREF="" q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink neq#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink# cfelse##Ans
/li
I'd really like this to work. I think I could use this code a lot.

I didn't see any code and without it I'm afraid I'm not getting you.
I can say that what I posted will work...it shows you the how to get
the vars into JS...it's up to you to pass the correct vars based on
your code (nested loops etc.) ;-)
If you can re-post the code I'm sure the lights will come on ;-)

Subject: Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a _javascript_ variable
I've got my code in the first post of this thread. Based on the
code you've written, it looks like I would get all the values in
one onClick event. I need to generate one value per onClick. Each
onClick is within an li that holds other query results, so I
can't just loop through the stylename variable within one
onClick. Am I making any sense?
Thanks for your help.

where do you want to loop thru the style name?
1) when creating the html/js with CF/
2) when the user initiates the js onClick?
if 1) above, where what format is the list of styles?

Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
Here's where the styles comes in:
I have a CSS stylesheet with these values:
#FellSvc{display:none;}
#MinorRts{display:none;}
#AmnInf{display:none;}
#AnteSter{display:none;}
In the db table, I have a column for the same styles from the stylesheet. Let's say the column name is linkStyle (like your example). Another column in the db table has the text for the menu link that displays on the page.
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to the user interaction), an assoicated DIV with an ID equal to the stylename displays its content because the onClick event tells the matching style in the stylesheet to change display=none to display=block.
Using your example, just change the end to something like this:
Now, iterating over the query:
cfoutput query=menu
bra href="" #linkName# /a
/cfoutput
Now, that doesn't work because #linkStyle# is CF and onClick needs js.
I don't know how to loop through this onClick variable to get the range of values to be produced - one for each iteration of the results, like:
menu item one: ...>
menu item two: ...>
menu item two: ...>

that container can contain anything you want it to, for example:
cfset #linkStyle# =

html
head
cfscript language=_javascript_
myFunction( ) {
alert(Hi);
}
'
/
so in your example, the columns in the current row of the query contain:
columnName Content
-- ---
linkNameApple
linkURL www.apple.com
linkStyleMinorRts
if column named linkStyle in the current row of the database contains
MinorRts
then outputting:
bra href=""
#linkName# /a
will yield:
bra href=""

As I understand it, that is exactly what you want.
The next row will have different values so the next link will reflect

can you show me what you want?

Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
onClick didn't understand a CF variable like: #linkStyle#. It wants _javascript_. I don't know how to make the _javascript_ variable I create from the CF variable return each of the different values in the onClick event.
I get:
menu item one: ...>
menu item two: ...>
menu item two: ...>
How can I make the _javascript_ variable I create from the CF variable loop through the values properly?
Thanks for trying to help with this problem.
But by the time the code gets to the browser, #linkStyle#will have
been replaced by exactly what you show us here
menu item one: ...>
menu item two: ...>
menu item two: ...>
view source from your browser might help clear things up for you.
Or like Dick, I don't understand :(

Subject: Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a _javascript_ variable
Would this information help explain what I need?
Here's where the styles comes in:
I have a CSS stylesheet with these values:
#FellSvc{display:none;}
#MinorRts{display:none;}
#AmnInf{display:none;}
#AnteSter{display:none;}
In the db table, I have a column for the same styles from the
stylesheet. Let's say the column name is linkStyle (like Dick's
example). Another column in the db table has the text for the menu
link that displays on the page.
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to
the user interaction), an assoicated DIV with an ID equal to the
stylename displays its content because the onClick event tells the
matching style in the stylesheet to change display=none to
display=block.
Using Dick's example, just change the end to something like this:
Now, iterating over the query:
cfoutput query=menu
bra href=""
#linkName# /a
/cfoutput
Now, that doesn't work because #linkStyle# is CF and onClick needs js.
I don't know how to loop through this onClick variable to get the
range of values to be produced - one for each iteration of the results,
like:
menu item one: ...>
menu item two: ...>
menu item two: ...>
etc.
Does that help?
I need to be gone for a few hours, but I'll check back.
Thank you and Dick so much for sticking with me on this!!!
It sounds like you need to combine the results from the 2 queries
into
a single query objectOR write a more complex query to join all
the
tables involved to produce a single recordset.

The rendered output is a menu of links. One query column
returns the text for a link, another query column returns the target
for the link. The style name column is used in an onClick event to
set
a CSS style to display content when clicked.
The style name doesn't display on screen.
I'm able to generate all the values I need except for all the
stylename values. If I only had one result from the query, it would
work fine. But I can't get the style name value to change as
additional menu items are generated from the query results. Maybe
what
I need is help with _javascript_.
I don't know how to explain it any better. I guess that's a drawback
of not being able to talk in real time. Thanks for your efforts.
I'll
keep at it.
event.
From the query results, I create the js: target() which returns
the value of the stylename field. How do I loop over the
stylename values so that I get one value per onClick event which
is generates multiple times based on the number of records in
the query?
I am sorry...
I can't understand what you are trying to do.
It is a simple matter to include the value of a column from the
query
in a line of text generated within the output tags...
But you are already doing that...
Maybe this would help me to help you:
1) show me a few lines of the rendered output that you desire--- no
CF
tags, just the rendered output.
2) put an asterisk or something in front of each value in the
rendered
output that you want to dynamically create with your CF code,
3) Run your query and display the
