You can refer to the next row in a query... Something like this might work:
<cfif myQuery.currentRow LT myQuery.recordCount
AND myQuery.RatePct NEQ myQuery.RatePct[myQuery.currentRow+1]>
highlight this one
<cfelse>
no highlight
</cfif>
Basically, if we're not on the last row, and the current row's RatePct
doesn't equal the next rows RatePct, highlight it.

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.
