dynamic expressions

[studentRickie]

I have two identical (in terms of number of fields and their names ) datasets
with different names.
Trying to build an expression that dynamically changes "dataset" name in
cfoutput

<td><input type="text" name="somename" value="#dataset.fieldname#" ...</td>

no luck so far... Any tips? Thanks

Your code fragment suggests that a query has been executed with your trying to
the enter the value of filename into form field. If that is correct, then
perhaps the code below will help.



<CFIF someCondition>
<CFSET ds = "datasource1">
<CFELSE>
<CFSET ds = "datasource2">
</CFIF>

<CFQUERY NAME=#ds" ...>
SELECT filename FROM myTable WHERE id = #id#
</CFQUERY>

<td><input type="text" name="somename" value="#ds.fieldname#" ... ></td>

Not sure I understand the question, sounds like its just as easy as:

<cfif YourCondition>
<cfset dspSomeone = dataset1.fieldname>
<cfelse>
<cfset dspSomeone = dataset2.fieldname>
</cfif>


<td><input type="text" name="somename" value="#dspSomeone#" ...</td>

jdeline beat me too it. . . but with his method you probably need

#Evaluate(ds.fieldname)#

for it to work
