What version of CF are you using? -----Original Message---- -From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Date: Sep 18, 2007 16:56 -To: "CF-Talk"<[email protected]> -Subj: LOOPY LOOP LOOP - -Here is a fun one that I somehow missed in the past... - -We were looking at some code that appeared to be looping over itself and -tracked it down to an extraneous <CFOUTPUT> clause inside the parent -<CFOUTPUT QUERY..> loop. - -Here is a quick example: - -<cfoutput query="getItems"> -#getItems.itemId#<br> -</cfoutput> - -Outputs the item id numbers as expected.. -IE: -1 -2 -3 -4 - -Now try this: - -<cfoutput query="getItems"> -<cfoutput>#getItems.itemId#</cfoutput><br> -</cfoutput> - -The second version outputs a loop of the items in a loop of the records.. -IE: -1234 -234 -34 -4 - -Although this does make some sense, it seems strange that the second -cfoutput is indeed interacting with the parent cfoutput loop but not like -one might expect. - -Of course the obvious solution is to avoid extraneous CFOUTPUTs, but I -thought it might be helpful to post in case anyone else encounters a similar -issue in the future. - -This behavior occurs in both CFMX 7 and CFMX 8 FWIW. - -Nothing earth shattering here.. Just one of those nuances that makes you -feel a little crazy from time to time. ;) - -For fun, can anyone come up with a scenario where this type of behavior is -actually DESIRED instead of both outputting the same results like might be -expected? - -Todd - - - -
