The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Easier way to read multiple values selected from 6 list boxes on a coldfusion form

Asked by jslaught in Cold Fusion Markup Language, ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: ,

I currently have a coldfusion form that show 6 list boxes with multiple values listed in each of them.  A user can only select ONE value right now from any of the 6 list boxes and click a submit button to run a coldfusion query form that displays the results from the single value that is selected. I would like to allow the user to select as many values from any of the 6 list boxes and have the same coldfusion query form display the results from the multiple values selected.    Start Free Trial

***BELOW IS A SNIPPET OF THE RESULTS FORM TAHT IS BASED OFF OF SINGLE VALUE SELECTED ON MAIN FORM***
<CFIF '#form.listreq#' is "Value 1">
<CFQUERY NAME="results" datasource="datasource">
select * from table where lower(fieldname) like lower('Value 1')
</CFQUERY>
<CFELSEIF '#form.listreq#' is "Value 15">
<CFQUERY NAME="results" datasource="datasource">
select * from table where lower(fieldname) like lower('Value 15')
</CFQUERY>
</CFIF>
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------I know I can satisfy the multiple values selected by doing the same as above but adding more values to the <CFIF> statement:
 
<CFIF '#form.listreq#' is "Value 1, Value 5">
<CFQUERY NAME="results" datasource="datasource">
select * from table where lower(fieldname) like lower('Value 1, Value 5')
</CFQUERY>
<CFELSEIF '#form.listreq#' is "Value 15, Value 20">
<CFQUERY NAME="results" datasource="datasource">
select * from table where lower(fieldname) like lower('Value 15, Value 20')
</CFQUERY>
</CFIF>
 
But since there are 21 total values to select from within the 6 list boxes, I would have to write the code on the results form to display results for one value selected, 2 values selected, 3 values selected, 4 values selected, etc. That would be alot of <CFIF> statements. Is there an easier way to read the multiple values selected within 6 list boxes?
