could you possibly make a dump of your query? So we can understand
what you data looks like?

JH> onClick didn't understand a CF variable like: "#linkStyle#". It wants _javascript_. I don't know how to make the _javascript_ variable I create from the CF variable return each of the different
JH> values in the onClick event.
JH> I get:
>> menu item one: ...>
>> menu item two: ...>
>> menu item two: ...>
JH> How can I make the _javascript_ variable I create from the CF variable loop through the values properly?
JH> Thanks for trying to help with this problem.
