Hello,
I need to create a rather long list of checkboxes for a user to fill out. I have created a database table with each checkbox item stored as a row, and using a cfquery I can select them from the database and add them to a form as such:
<form action="postact.cfm" method="post">
<cfoutput query="getquestions">
<input type="checkbox" name=#getquestions.shortname#>#getquestions.longname#<br>
</cfoutput>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
The problem is when I try to reference these items on the following page.
Instead of naming each one individually, I was hoping to use another query to pull the name of the checkbox, and be able to reference it.
Problem seems to be that I can't reference them as a variable name, I thought I could do something like this:
<cfoutput query="getquestions">
#form.shortname#
</cfoutput>
..but that doesn't work because #form.shortname# isn't a valid variable. What I really need is #form.#getquestions.shortname##, if that makes sense. Is that possible? Nesting a variable name inside a variable name?
