A UDF may slightly lessen the code needed, and gain you some
flexibility, and readability too imo. Something like...
<cfscript>
function isFormComplete(ds, checkArray) {
var result = true;
for(i = 1; i LT arrayLen(checkArray); i = i + 1) {
item = checkArray[i];
//here is a case where compare() instead of EQ might make sense.
if(NOT structKeyExists(ds, item) OR ds[item] EQ '') {
var result = false;
break;
}
}
return result;
}
</cfscript>
<cfset checkList = "assetid, version, statusid, etc, etc">
<cfset checkArray = listToArray(checkList)>
<cfif isFormComplete(request.datastruct, checkArray)>
<p><a href="writefile.cfm">Download Your XML File.</a></p>
</cfif>
I just typed this out so there is probably a problem with it, but if
you have any questions, shoot.
