a ha, ok so i'm getting closer i think.... thanks for link, but unless i'm not understanding what i'm reading its doesnt show how to output the "unknown quantity" of variables
maybe i would need to loop through the list so it outputs all the column header names seperately? Let me explain some more of what i'm needing. I have a page where i can create new columns in a particular table. each new column thats created represents a 'form field' so i would create a column called "name" and a column called "DOB". at the same time of creating i would select whether i want these new form fields to be either a text input or a textarea and i append either a _1 or a _2 to the column name. on another page i then output the column names and IF _1 exists then i dynamically create a text input field or IF a _2 exits in the outputted field name i create a textarea to be used. so can you see why i need the column names list to be individual items? so that i can run a CFIF aginst each one. blimey hope ive explained that ok ;-) or.... am i totally going about this the wrong way? z >once you turn it into a list you can use list functions to access the items.. >http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions-pt0_13.html > >listgetat(foo, 1) >and >listlen(foo) to return the length of the list > >unless I'm not understanding what you're asking > >On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 12:23 PM, zac wingfield ><[email protected]> wrote: >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-newbie/message.cfm/messageid:5248 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-newbie/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-newbie/unsubscribe.cfm
