Thanks for replying. I get other problem now. The above list is converted as
below:
<cfset list = "{name:'col1'", "index:'col1'",
"sorttype:'string'"},{"name:'col2'", "index:'col2'",
"sorttype:'string'"},{"name:'col3'", "index:'col3'", "sorttype:'string'"}">
Each name:value is getting surrounded by double quotes. How to ignore these?
