Por ejemplo:<br /><br /><cfoutput><br /> On #DateFormat(Now(), "MM/DD/YYYY")# I gave away <br /> <cfoutput><br /> the random number #Rand()# for free<br /> </cfoutput><br /></cfoutput> i69alot 0 0 2007-02-18T19:21:34 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000309.htm#52178 The default value for groupCaseSensitive attribute appears to be incorrect. I had to add groupCaseSensitive="yes" to do case sensitive grouping 0 0 2006-08-23T09:46:33 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000309.htm#52030 cfoutput also supports a java.sql.ResultSet object as its query attribute. It is not documented here, but it is a very useful feature as it can help streaming very long queries to the output stream. However, I'd like to know how will it behave when combined with the group attribute, as I am having some memory problems related with that, specifically if cfoutput will populate a Query object from the jdbc ResultSet or will use it plain when combined with the group attribute. danimx 0 0 2006-08-18T08:42:47 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000309.htm#44066 It seems that when using the "group" attribute in this tag, the "maxrows" attribute pertains to the group rows.<br /><br />For instance, a developer uses a cfoutput tag to display the contents of a query with a record count of 50. If the developer sets the group attribute to the field "Department" and there are 25 unique values for this field, and the the maxrows attribute was set to 25, all 50 records will show.<br /><br />If the developer uses a Next-N feature and uses the startrow attribute (set to 26), this does not pertain the group rows, but rather to record count 26. This seems to be both advantageous and disadvantageous; it might also seem inconsitent without better supporting documentation.

CF outputs data sequentially, the only thing that is row-based in HTML tables. I suppose it would be possible for Macromedia to automatically rearrange your HTML for you, but you wouldn't have as much control. Actually, I'd also be unhappy with it because screen-readers and text browsers go through items in the order they're present in the HTML, which in HTML tables is always across rows. So it's better for you to make more complicated tables.<br /><br />For example, to make a 3 column "row based" table you probably have code something like:<br /><table> <tr> <cfloutput query="myquery><br /><td> #output# </td> <br /><cfif currentrow MOD 3 eq 0 > <br /></tr> <tr><br /></cfif><br /></cfoutput><br /></tr> </table><br /><br />To use columns instead, just nest single-column tables inside a single-row table.<br /><table> <tr> <td> <table> <br /> <cfloutput query="myquery><br /><tr> <td> #output# </td> </tr><br /><cfif currentrow MOD 3 eq 0 > <br /></table> </td> <td> <table><br /></cfif><br /></cfoutput><br /></table> </td> </tr> </table><br /><br />Obviously, the MOD 3 part isn't the focus of this code - but you said it worked for you the other way... the focus is on the part that's DIFFERENT.<br /><br />Ben<br />Freelance CFML and Actionscript, etc. . ben.macromedia.2005jun29 ATNOSPAM xig.net xigarete 0 0 2005-06-28T23:51:31 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000309.htm#30449 dspent:<br>I have entered enhancement request number 59989 for this issue. jrunrandy 1 1 2005-03-28T07:36:05 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000309.htm#30100 why does cfoutput only output information in rows?<br /><br />I want to have an output of my query data like:<br /><br />1 4 7<br />2 5 8<br />3 6 9<br /><br />but I can only get<br /><br />1 2 3<br />4 5 6<br />7 8 9<br /><br />This continues to be a major headache with coldfusion. dspent 0 0 2005-03-17T14:08:00
