    Default Prevent display of empty database record

    I am displaying a lighting catalog image with description, height, and several
    other descriptive fields below it. This is all being pulled from an Access db
    via a SELECT * query. My display code is <table> <cfoutput
    query='qInfo'><tr><td>#Description#</td></tr></cfoutput> <cfoutput
    query='qInfo'><tr><td>#Shade#</td></tr></cfoutput> <cfoutput
    query='qInfo'><tr><td>#MediumBase#</td></tr></cfoutput> <cfoutput
    query='qInfo'><tr><td>Projection&amp;nbsp;#Project ion#</td></tr></cfoutput>
    <cfoutput query='qInfo'><tr><td>#Options#</td></tr></cfoutput> </table>
    The problem is that if there is no value in the record for MediumBase for this
    particular record, I get a blank line. Is it possible to code this such that
    if there is nothing in the record for that column, then the cfm output will not
    show a blank line, but will just move on to the next filled record? BTW -- I
    tried the below code, too, and that didn't work for me, either... <table>
    <cfif IsDefined ('qInfo.Description')>
    <cfoutput><tr><td>#qInfo.Description# </td></tr></cfoutput> </cfif>
    <cfif IsDefined ('qInfo.Shade')> <cfoutput>
    <tr><td>#qInfo.Shade#</cfoutput> </td></tr> </cfif> <cfif
    IsDefined ('qInfo.MediumBase')> <tr><td>
    <cfoutput><br>#qInfo.MediumBase#</cfoutput> </td></tr> </cfif> <cfif
    IsDefined ('qInfo.Projection')> <tr><td>
    <cfoutput><br>#qInfo.Projection#</cfoutput> </td></tr> </cfif> <cfif
    IsDefined ('qInfo.Options')> <tr><td>
    <cfoutput><br>#qInfo.Options#</cfoutput> </td></tr> </cfif>
    </table>

    Default Re: Prevent display of empty database record

    You want to check <cfif qInfo.MediumBase IS "">. Checking <cfif IsDefined ("qInfo.MediumBase")> will always return true (it's defined, just empty).
