RE: [CFTALKTor] Anchor Tags in a cfm page

[Lipp, Gord]

Hi Arun

 

If you need to display a # inside of a cfoutput tag then you will need to add another one to it so that CF will know what to do with it. I.e. ## between cfoutput's will display #.

 

For your problem, I would try

 

<a href =" "###anchorName#">

Subject: [CFTALKTor] Anchor Tags in a cfm page

I'm creating a standard FAQ page. Numbered "questions" at the top of the page, "answers" further down. But it's not working in CF.

 

In an HTML page,  <a href="faq.html#whatever"></a> 

is used to call the anchored answer on the same page.

 

My questions and answers are being called from a database. What am I missing?

 

<------  FAQ QUERY ------->

<CFQUERY NAME="faq" DATASOURCE="dbname">
SELECT  *
FROM faq
</CFQUERY>

 

 

<------  QUESTION ------->

<CFOUTPUT QUERY="faq">

<a href = " "#anchorName#">#question#</a>

<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

<------  ANSWER ------->

<a name = "#anchorName#">#answer#

</CFOUTPUT>

 

 

 

Thank you.

 

Arun.
