The code below is two of scores of trying to get any kind of conditional to work. Now I can bind an entry from one of the other pages just fine, but there are six pages of options for a user to build a complex query and I want to just display the options they chose on the 'verify' tab if they want to check it before they submit for processing. I''ve tried trim() with and without len() testing for zero. The one below was aimed at just seeing if i could get it to work the conditional.

I know it is something I'm missing in syntax, 'Bind' would be pretty a useless concept if you cannot check for a value such as a particular string, zero length, checked or unchecked box, selected or unselected radio button etc..

I hope someone knows how to do it because I am now obsessed with having this tab work instead of a workaround (which would involve pulling a confirmation page up).

Thanks,

***** This is one I tried for binding to a cfformitem, I tried all kinds of varible calling such as "form.SISCd" and #form.SISCd# etc.. I think I can stick a NOT in there and it will test positive everytime and plop the lable with or without label... ****


<!--- tab six --->
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Verify Count Criteria" height="283">

<CFIF ({SICCd.text.length} GT 0)>
<CFSET a="b">
</CFIF>

<CFIF IsDefined("showf")>
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfformitem type="Text" name="SICCd" bind="SIC Code: {SICCd.text}"></cfformitem>
</cfformgroup>
</cfif>

</cfformgroup>


***** This is one I really wanted so that the user could change a previously filled in entry on the fly. More work on the processing side to see if they went with the originally filled out input and then changed it here but would make the user experience top notch. Most of my users are constantly repeat users and will know most of the choices by memory. ****

<!--- tab six --->
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Verify Count Criteria" height="283">

<CFIF ("form.SCCd" EQ "This is a Test")>

<cfformgroup type="Horizontal" label="">
<cfinput type="text" name="SICCdVer" label="SIC Code" bind="SIC Code: {SICCd.text}">
</cfformgroup>

</cfif>


</cfformgroup>

If I'm not mistaken this is the wrong forum for that... and you shouldn't just attempt to hijack a thread if this was in fact intentional.

does this work?

<CFIF SICCd.text NEQ "">
<CFSET a="b">
</CFIF>

or
<CFIF form.SICCd NEQ "">
<CFSET a="b">
</CFIF>


double quotes means the field is empty

btw~ scott cfforms allow you to do validation onBlur, client-side or server-side or all of them or any combo and thats on any form, reg html, xml or flash

Josh, I beg your pardon.

I was not intending to do anything wrong. I searched on my problem and this thread came up. Flash defined form types were the main topic for the last several weeks on this thread and I thought that I would ask you guys if you had any idea what my problem was.

I will be more careful in the future and again sorry for the intrusion. I re-posted on the main forum and Loftboy has been nice enough to try and help me.
