iif() not working right...

[lingo_user]

I f I do this
<cfset class = Iif(i mod 2, "lightTableRow", "darkTableRow")>
I get this
"Variable lightTableRow is undefined."

I mean to do this in a short way:

<cfif i mod 2 EQ 0>
<cfset class = "darkTableRow">
<cfelse>
<cfset class = "lightTableRow">
</cfif>

to have table rows lternating in color... Is this the wong approach?

thanks,

Marc

Ok, I found it should be this:

<tr class="#IIF(i mod 2, DE('lightTableRow'), DE('darkTableRow'))#">

problem solved.

Don't use iif(), I know it is less code but it actually runs slower than cfif.

You can use:-



<tr class="#IIF(i mod 2, DE('lightTableRow'), DE('darkTableRow'))#">

<tr class="<cfif i MOD 2>lightTableRow<cfelse>darkTableRow</cfif>">
