thanks seth,
:)
we found that it works fine as long as you put spaces between words.
we were testing it with one long word...
"AAAAAAAAAAA......ect"
that was the main culprit...
we'll use your coding advice too!

Hi Megan,
Try using cfoutput around the row you are outputting, rather than around
each variable. Your code will be more readable, and many problems involving
looping instantly vanish.
If you're outputting query results, this is especially important.
Try rewritting this section of code:
<tr>
<td width="27" valign="top" id="datastyle"></td>
<td width="555" valign="top" id="datastyle"><b>CER:</b>
<cfoutput>#cer_nbr#</cfoutput> <b>Control #:</b>
<cfoutput>#control_nbr# </cfoutput> <b>REV:</b>
<cfoutput>#rev_nbr# </cfoutput><BR><BR></td>
</tr>
To look like this:
<cfoutput>
<tr>
<td width="27" valign="top" id="datastyle"></td>
<td width="555" valign="top" id="datastyle"><b>CER:</b>
#cer_nbr# <b>Control ##:</b> #control_nbr#
<b>REV:</b> #rev_nbr# <BR><BR></td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
Notice that I "escaped" the pound signs in "Control #". This prevents
ColdFusion from trying to interpret that text as a variable..
Also, if you are outputting Query results, it is important to specify the
query name in your output. It's a good idea to scope the variables in the
output with the query name as well, like this:
<cfoutput query="MyQuery">
<tr>
<td width="27" valign="top" id="datastyle"></td>
<td width="555" valign="top" id="datastyle"><b>CER:</b>
#MyQuery.cer_nbr# <b>Control ##:</b>
#MyQuery.control_nbr# <b>REV:</b>
#MyQuery.rev_nbr# <BR><BR></td>
</tr>
</cfoutput>
Hope this gets you squared away; if not, shout back.
Best Regards,
Seth
