How to populate cfselect from array, not from query?

[cadoltt]

Hi Everybody,

Most cases I've found on cfselect explain how to populate it from a query.

Is there a way to do it from an array?

Thanks,

Alex

Loop through the elements:

<cfoutput>
<cfloop index="idx" list="#theArray#" delimiters=",">
<option value=#idx#>#idx#
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

Oops, it's for a list. This is what I did for array:

<cfset aUBOUND = arrayLen(theArray)>

<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="aUBOUND">
<option value=#theArray(i)#>#theArray(i)#
</cfloop>

Sorry.

Hi mansii,

Thank you for this. I see that instead of the CF tag I need the HTML select tag. And the idea is to use CF loop to populate the box.

In fact, I need even a simpler thing than taking values from an array. The box is to be populated with numbers from 1 to 100 (this is a percent box).

So, here is what I did based on your code:

 <select name="percent" editable="yes">
   <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="100">
     <option value=#i#>#i#</option>
   </cfloop>
 </select>

But instead of numbers the box is getting stuffed with '#i#'. Definitely, I am doing something stupid, but I can't figure out what.


Can you tell me what this is?


Thanks again,

Alex

 <select name="percent" editable="yes">
   <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="100">
     [b]<cfoutput>[/b]<option value=#i#>#i#</option>[b]</cfoutput>[/b]
   </cfloop>
 </select>

Place cfoutput tags around the option generation

Safaritek,

It works now - thanks alot!

And, putting the cfoutput outside the cfloop is a performance issue.

<select name="percent" editable="yes">
[blue]<cfoutput>[/blue]
   <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="100">
     <option value=#i#>#i#</option>
   </cfloop>
[blue]</cfoutput>[/blue]
</select>

Thank you for the tip, mansii. I should have noticed the <cfoutput> tag in your first post...
