understand is where the dynamic data is supposed to come from
I would write something like:
<cfquery name=menu>
SELECT linkName, linkURL, linkStyle FROM linkTable
</cfquery>
yields a query containing:
linkName linkURL linkStyle
---------- ------------------ --------------
Apple www.apple.com colorful
Macromedia www.macromedia.com flashy
Microsoft www.microsoft.com opportunistic
Now, iterating over the query:
<cfoutput query=menu>
<br><a href="" style=#linkStyle#> #linkName# </a>
</cfoutput>
yields:
<br><a href="" style=colorful> Apple </a>
<br><a href="" style=flashy > Macromedia </a>
<br><a href="" style=opportunistic > Microsoft </a>
I know this is not exactly what you want, but using the same technique,
can you show me what you want?
