[thelist] CF Help - I don't know what to call it.

[Seth Bienek - Web Consultant]

Miya ML,

Is there a URL or some source code (even just a snippet) that we can have a
look at?

I'm not sure exactly what it is you're displaying in the form, or what data
you are wanting the user to be able to change.

Regards,

Seth

> ColdFusion allows you to easily loop through the results of a query
> using either the tag <cfloop query="queryname"> or the tag <cfoutput
> query="queryname">. However, what you may not know is that it is not
> necessary to first test for results of a query before you execute the
> loop. 
> 
> ColdFusion will automatically check for a record count 
> greater than zero
> for the query before it executes the loop. If the query does 
> not contain
> any results, the loop is simply ignored. This will save you some
> processing time by eliminating the need to wrap your loop 
> with the <cfif
> queryname.recordcount gt 0> command.
