CF not checking right

[GUJUm0deL]

Hey everyone, this is my situation: I have this CF file,that checks the EIN number from the database and matches that to a drop-down list (specific EIN numbers go to specific drop-down choices), the problem is CF only checks if thr EIN number is valid and not if the number matches the drop-down choice. How can I make it so that CF will check for both conditions??
condition is EIN numberanddrop-down menu choice match, if they do NOT match then they go to page1, IF they do match then they go to page2...
I tried a CFIF statement but that didn;t work, I also tried changing the SQL code but go no where...
Thanx ppl... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

i don't know how to do this in cfscript
but still, you can do the same think using javascript :

if ( isEINnumber(number) && number == document.formname.selectname.options[document.formname.selectname.selectedIndex].value )
document.location.href=page2
else
document.location.href=page1

where
- page1 and page2 are proper urls
- isEINnumber(number) is a javascript function returning TRUE if number is a EIN number
- in your html page, the form name is formname, the select name is selectname
- and the drop down's value you're checking against is specified in the VALUE part of the option tag

<form name=formname>
<select name=selectname>
<option value=&quot;this is me you're comparing to&quot;>anything</option>
</select>
</form>


this is ie only
let me know if you're targetting ns and are interested in using javascript

gj, i think it can be done with cf script, but i'm not good enough at it to fully help you - hopefully someone else here can ??
anyway, the cf should look like this (becareful this has to be on the called page, as it's server side, whereas the javascript i gave you before has to be on the calling page (the one with the form on it) as it's client side)
<cfif isEINnumber(your_number) AND your_number==form.selectvalue>
<cflocation ... page2>
<cfelse>
<cflocation ... page1>
</cfif>
