Hello, I am wondering if someone could clear something up for me. I am working on a datagrid using CFGRID in HTML format. I would like to be able to manipulate the data a little bit before throwing it into the grid. Two examples are that I want CITY AND STATE to be in one column, and I want to be able to have one of the columns link to a URL that has two dynamic variables in it, rather than just one like you could do with using HREFKEY. (The linked URL would be something like: http://www.mydomain.com/results.cfm?customer_id=#x#&order_id=#y#).
So the question I have is what is the best way to handle these two things? I started out working with just a CFQUERY on the same template page as the CFGRID, but now I've realized that I would probably want to do a CFC instead. The question is, what format do I send back the data with? So far the only thing I could come up with that works, but is slow, is to do the initial query, then CFLOOP through the data. While looping, format the data and put it into a new query using QuerySetCell/QueryAddRow. It seems clunky and again, it is slow. Is their any other way, like could I just return a structure or something like that? Any help is appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287710 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
