How about something like this?

function setChangeStyle (recordset,column,row) {
        result = 'defaultClass';
        if (row LT (recordset.recordcount - 1) AND recordset[column][row+1]
NEQ recordset[column][row]) {
                result = 'highlightClass';
        }
        return result;
}

In code, you would just have <td
class="#setChangeStyle(query,'ratepct',query.currentrow)#">

May not work, just a quick first thought...

Subject: Best way to do this? Data structure?

I know this is a simple problem, but I must have too many projects on my
plate because I haven't been able to get this one.  I have a query that
returns data like:
Description    OrderDate     RatePct
1 Week          4/01/05        3.5
1 Week          3/01/05        3.6
1 Week          2/01/05        3.6
2 Week          4/01/05        2.5
2 Week          3/01/05        2.5
2 Week          2/01/05        2.0

The primary key is the Description/Order Date and it is supposed to be in
descending order.  The data is then displayed to the user in a table
based on description for the row and the OrderDate for the column, like:

           4/01/05       3/01/05     2/01/05
1 Week       3.5           3.6        3.6
2 Week       2.5           2.5        2.0

A simple CFOUTPUT with a GROUP attribute on Description works fine to
display this table.  However, now I need to color-code the ratepct if the
value has changed.  Since the values are displayed in descending order, I
cannot do it in the CFOUTPUT loop since I won't know if the data changed
until the next time through the loop.  So, in the above example, the 3.5
should be highlighted in row 1 as a data change since the previous value was
3.6 and the 2.5 in the 3/01/05 column should be highlighted in the previous
value was 2.0.  My initial thought was to have a data structure that held
the contents of the query that I could loop through prior to display and set
a new key/value pair for color.  I have experimented with various
combinations of structs and arrays and haven't found the best way to do
this.  Any ideas??  Thanks in advance.
