I have a CSS stylesheet with these values:
#FellSvc{display:none;}
#MinorRts{display:none;}
#AmnInf{display:none;}
#AnteSter{display:none;}
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 example). Another column in the db table has the text for the menu link that displays on the page.
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to the user interaction), an assoicated DIV with an ID equal to the stylename displays its content because the onClick event tells the matching style in the stylesheet to change "display=none" to "display=block".
Using your example, just change the end to something like this:
>Now, iterating over the query:
>
><cfoutput query=menu>
><br><a href="" #linkName# </a>
></cfoutput>
Now, that doesn't work because #linkStyle# is CF and onClick needs js.
I don't know how to loop through this onClick variable to get the range of values to be produced - one for each iteration of the results, like:
menu item one: ...> menu item two: ...> menu item two: ...> etc.
Does that help?
