RE: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

The concept that took me awhile to get my head around.  You don't usually pass variables to _javascript_ in examples like this.  If you need to truly pass variables to _javascript_ from CFML you need to use some kind of intermediary technology such as WDDX.  But for what you seem to be trying to do

Re: passing multiple CF values 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 associ

RE: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

I created the following test code and it runs just fine, I believe it does basically what you are asking code to do.   HTH aQuery = queryNew("menu_bmarkLink,menu_Text,menu_nonBmarkLink"); tmp = QueryAddRow(aQuery,4); tmp = QuerySetCell(aQuery,"menu_bmarkLink","MinorRts",1); tmp = QueryS

Re: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

So there was nothing wrong with my original code and I shouldn't have gotten an error saying that onClick didn't understand the CF variable #menu_bmarkLink#. Maybe it failed because there was no value for #menu_bmarkLink# when that variable was blank - which would be the case when the menu_nonBmar

RE: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

I think you might be right, when I added a row to my test query with a blank "menu_bmarkLink" it produced output such as this: That is definitely incorrect syntax in the onClick property and my test threw a JS error, but it did not say anything about not understanding #menu_bmarkLink# You sh

Re: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

Joy, taht's what I think too. The code sample Dave provided does the same thing your code should render. That's why I thought you could provide a dump of your database query to see if it's serving unexpected data... Patric > So there was nothing wrong with my original code and I shouldn't have g

Re: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

Thank you for testing that,Ian. I must have jumped to the wrong conclusion. I didn't expect that onClick would read the portion of my when the condition was met for the menu_nonbmarkLink. > I think you might be right, when I added a row to my test query with a > blank "menu_bmarkLink" it produ

I see.  I'll definitely incorporate that strategy. Thanks, Patric. Joy > Joy, > > taht's what I think too. The code sample Dave provided does the same > thing your code should render. That's why I thought you could provide > a dump of your database query to see if it's serving unexpected > data..
