[thelist] CF smoke and mirrors

[Chris Evans]

If you are talking about the action page, you can use the pre-existing FORM
structure to get a list of fields passed in, then loop over the list to
initialize those local variables:

<CFLOOP List="#StructKeyList(Form)#" index="field">
	<CFPARAM Name="#field#" default="">
</CFLOOP>

Something like that might work.

Well,

You asked for it. 8)

Each page has a form, each form a number of fields (of course). When the
page loads, the fields its form contains determines which javascript
functions to validate them on the client side are loaded into the page.
Since they are loaded from a database, I don't know what the fields are
named for any arbitrary form, so I was looking for a way to dynamically
allocate the space and variable for each field in CF on return of the form,
which could then be looped through, accessed for a value, it elements used
as placeholder values, etc.

Currently I think that I will use a structure and the function StructInsert
to build a collection of pages' form's fields... what do you think?
