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
Hi Joy,
could you possibly make a dump of your query? So we can understand
what you data looks like?

JH 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
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
Hi Joy,
It looks like your query results must not be what you expect. I've
included a skeleton example of what I think you're aiming for, but which
loops through a list since I don't have your data.
HTML
HEAD
TITLEUntitled/TITLE
style type=text/css
#aaa {display:none;}
#bbb {display:none;}
#ccc
I am outputting style name values using CF query-results. I'm
making those values available to _javascript_ in a variable so I
can use the values in an onClick event.
If I only needed the variable's last style name value returned
by the query, I could use the following:
cfoutput
script
You can do what you want -- but I can't understand your code -- so here
goes
cfquery name=getStyle
SELECT styleName FROM styleDB
/cfquery
cfoutput query=getStyle
brsome stuff #styleName# some other stuff
/cfoutput
will provide getStyle.RecordCount linesof output, 1 for each row in
the query
I'm placing the query results of several fields into an HTML list. The href of each generated link includes an onClick event. Because of that, I need to create a _javascript_ variable that holds the values of the style name field from the query. I don't know how to populate the style name variable
Some sample code would really help here as JS is picky about syntax.
That said...
I'll assume you're popping open a window ;-)
here's some psuedo-code
cfoutput

/cfoutput
Then have a _javascript_ function in the HEAD block that takes 2 arguments.So all you're doing is setting the values of
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
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?

If you can re-post the code I'm sure the lights will come

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
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
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.

I realize that you are trying to create a list of links -- what I can't
understand is where the dynamic data is supposed to come from
I would write something like:
cfquery name=menu
SELECTlinkName, linkURL, linkStyle FROM linkTable
/cfquery
yields a query containing:
linkName linkURL
Could you give me some pseudo code to work with? I guess this is exactly where I'm stuck. I've only got the one table and one query. Everything I need is in there. I just can't figure out how to make the value needed on the onClick event be unique for each event generated by the outputting of the

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
