but #linkStyle# is just the name of a CF variable, a container, if you
will (this one just cones from the db).
that container can contain anything you want it to, for example:
<cfset #linkStyle# =
'
<html>
<head>
<cfscript language="_javascript_"
myFunction( ) {
alert("Hi");
}
'
/>
so in your example, the columns in the current row of the query contain:
columnName Content
---------- -------
linkName Apple
linkURL www.apple.com
linkStyle MinorRts
if column named linkStyle in the current row of the database contains
MinorRts
then outputting:
<br><a href=""
#linkName# </a>
will yield:
<br><a href=""
Apple </a>
As I understand it, that is exactly what you want.
The next row will have different values so the next link will reflect
this
