Hi Steve,
Well sorta easy. I can pretty much get it to the point where it will
create the form dynamically. However Radio Buttons which can have an
on/off state as well as check boxes seems to be a bit of a challenge for
me. Mainly because you have to set a default for each button etc etc.
I have taken the advise of I think Ricardo and done two different queries
to see if I can get it working at least that way. I'm thinking of building
the form firstly, before I show it in HTML if that makes sense.
Below is what I have done so far...
<cfif #GetInfo.RecordCount# GTE 1>
<cfform name="form" method="POST" format="FLASH" height="400"
width="600">
<cfformgroup type="accordion">
<cfformitem type="HTML">Please enter your
name.</cfformitem>
<cfoutput query="GetInfo">
<cfif #FormRequired# IS
1>
<cfset RValue =
"Yes">
<cfelse>
<cfset RValue =
"No">
</cfif>
<cfif #formtype# IS
'CheckBox'>
<cfformitem
type="HTML">#Question#</cfformitem>
</cfif>
<cfinput
type="#formtype#" name="#formname#" value="#formvalue#" label="#FormLabel#"
required="#RValue#" message="Please Check #FormLabel#">
</cfoutput>
<cfloop query="GetCheckBox">
<cfformitem
type="text"><cfoutput
group="QuestionID">#GetCheckBox.Question#</cfoutput></cfformitem>
<cfoutput
group="QuestionID">
<cfinput type="#formtype#" name="#formname#" value="#formvalue#"
label="#FormLabel#" required="#RValue#" message="Please Check #FormLabel#">
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<cfinput type="Submit"
value="Submit" name="Submit">
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
</cfif>
