<cfscript> loop versus <cfloop>

I spent 5-6 hours trying to find the solution to this problem on my own. Jason Durham 04/15/2008 10:03 AM
didnt think of doing that :) Richard White 04/15/2008 10:02 AM

Could it be that qNav is not var scoped? i.e. Dominic Watson 04/15/2008 09:49 AM
I'll have to check again to be 100% sure, but I believe the value is "". Jason Durham 04/15/2008 09:46 AM
I would check to see what the argument value for CHILDID is prior to using Patrick Santora 04/15/2008 09:44 AM
The variable used in the cfloop is an "i",  Outlook changed the case Jason Durham 04/15/2008 09:38 AM
I thought that too, but after copying the code from the thread and pasting Patrick Santora 04/15/2008 09:34 AM
just an observation but the index in the <cfloop> doesnt look like an 'i' Richard White 04/15/2008 09:31 AM

The syntax looks correct, what is the error you are getting? Patrick Santora 04/15/2008 09:29 AM
Provided that i is set to 1 before the for loop (var i = 1;), then yes, the Bobby Hartsfield 04/15/2008 09:29 AM
Thank you Dominic and Patrick for your suggestions.  In both cases, Jason Durham 04/15/2008 09:21 AM
you need to declare "i" via the script approach. cfloop does a basic Patrick Santora 04/15/2008 09:17 AM

I would check to see what the argument value for CHILDID is prior to using getDepth and make sure it is numeric. Your answer might be there. I believe the variable you want to verify is "qNav[getChildOfField()][i]".

Author: Jason Durham Short Link: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:56031#303406 The variable used in the cfloop is an "i",  Outlook changed the case of it automagically. Here is a copy of the function using cfscript syntax that works flawlessly (written by Matt Quackenbush)... http://cfm.pastebin.com/d7595c18e Here is a copy of my re-write using <cfloop>... http://cfm.pastebin.com/m24328359 The error the <cfloop> version results in.... The CHILDID argument passed to the getDepth function is not of type numeric. I've verified that the function works for several iterations but fails on the 4th or 5th time through.  They are both using the same external methods [getDepth(),getParent(),getSubs()].   The syntax looks correct, what is the error you are getting?

Is that an 'L' for the cfloop index or an uppercase 'i'? Other than that I'd say we'd need to see more (nothing wrong with the cfloop or scripted loop if i is set before it).

Author: Jason Durham Short Link: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:56031#303399 Thank you Dominic and Patrick for your suggestions.  In both cases, "i" is var scoped just before the loops. The version with <cfloop> is the one that's giving me trouble.  Perhaps it's not in the loop syntax.  I've gone character by character comparing the rest of the code in each function and they appear identical. you need to declare "i" via the script approach. cfloop does a basic declaration for you. the for loop does not. NOTE: if this loop is within a cffunction then ensure you have scoped i correctly (place "var i = 1" above the loop) or (i = 1; i LTE qNav.recordCount; i=i+1) {                ......... } -Pat http://patweb99.avatu.com On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 6:08 AM, Jas ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
