[thelist] CF Radio Buttons Tip

[matthew garrett]

Thank you Joshua.
That looks more proper/efficient. Another tool in the belt...

Before I post this as a tip, how would you improve it?

<cfset answers = '#one#, #two#, #three#, #four#, #five#, #six#, #seven#,
#eight#, #nine#, #ten#'>
<cfset key = 'a,b,c,d,e,a,b,c,d,e'>
<cfset correct="0">
<cfset loopcount="1">
<cfloop index="current" list="#answers#">
  <cfoutput>
    <cfif trim(current) IS '#trim(listGetAt(key, loopcount))#'>
        <p>Right you are! Question #loopcount# is #listGetAt(key,
loopcount)#.</p>
        <cfset correct = '#incrementValue(correct)#'>
    <cfelse>
        <p>Hey, you got this one wrong. Question #loopcount# is actually
#listGetAt(key, loopcount)#, not #current#.</p>
    </cfif>
    <cfset loopcount = '#incrementValue(loopcount)#'>
  </cfoutput>
</cfloop>

<cfoutput>
    <p>You got this many right: #correct#</p>
</cfoutput>
