ColdFusion make new rows - coldfusion

I've got a cfoutput outputting some query data to display a product list on my page.
<ul class="row">
<cfoutput query="mycontent" startrow="#url.startrow#" maxrows="#url.maxrows#">
<li class="span-3">item data here</li>
<cfif mycontent.currentrow MOD 3 IS 3>
</ul><ul class="row">
</cfif>
</cfouptut>
I am trying to make it appear as a new row, with a new set of <ul> tags, when the items equal 3. This way I can have it neatly displayed on my page.
Each time it loads, it won't do this correctly. Instead it keeps the content within the top most <ul> tags.
How I can get this to be structured in a better way?

You want MOD to be 0 as MOD returns the remainder. That's how you know you are on a row divisible by 3 because the remainder equals 0.
<ul class="row">
<cfoutput query="mycontent" startrow="#url.startrow#" maxrows="#url.maxrows#">
<li class="span-3">item data here</li>
<cfif mycontent.currentrow MOD 3 eq 0>
</ul><ul class="row">
</cfif>
</cfouptut>
MOD or %
[Modulus]: Return the remainder after a number is divided by a divisor. The result has the same sign as the divisor. The value to the right of the operator should be an integer; using a non-numeric value causes an error, and if you specify a real number, ColdFusion ignores the fractional part (for example, 11 MOD 4.7 is 3).

Number of child elements in Robot Framework / Selenium?

How to find the total number of elements/tags present under specific tag ?
<div id="mainTag class='mainTag'>
<div id="subMainTag1" class="subMainTag1">
<div id="subTag1" class="subTag1">
<div some inner tags again>
<div some inner tags again>
<div id="subTag1" class="subTag1">
<div some inner tags again>
<div some inner tags again>
<div id="subTag1" class="subTag1">
<div some inner tags again>
<div some inner tags again>
<div id="subTag1" class="subTag1">
<div some inner tags again>
<div some inner tags again>
I am looking for div tags having id and class subTag1.As per snippet provided above, i need to get the count value as 4.
verifyXpathCount does not return the counts.
storeXpathCount | //div[#id='mainTag']/div[#id='subMainTag1']/div | count
echo ${count}
storeXpathCount | //div[#id='mainTag']/div[#id='subMainTag1']//div | count
echo ${count}
storeXpathCount | //div[#id='mainTag']/div[#id='subMainTag1']/* | count
echo ${count}
All above returns 0, Nothing returns actual value 4. Not sure, what i am missing here.
Selenium IDE/web-driver:python , anything is fine.
ANSWER:
storeXpathCount working fine. I had missed to select frame.
Get Matching XPath Count also works fine in Robot Framework.
Adding to kjhughes's answer, since he didn't understand you were trying to achieve this using Robot Framework. It wasn't that clear, to his defense.
Using the XPath he provided, you could use the Xpath Should Match X Times keyword. Something like this:
XPath Should Match X Times //div[#id='mainTag']/* 4
If you need to store the retrieved matching count, you can use the quite similar keyword, Get Matching XPath Count, like this:
${count}= Get Matching XPath Count //div[#id='mainTag']/*
This XPath,
count(//div[#id='mainTag']/*)
will return the number of child elements under the div element with id attribute value of mainTag.

Strange bug in table

I'm in Coldfusion 8. I have a table that is produced by a loop. Very complex code but I put some of it here:
<cfloop array = #qrep.getColumnList()# index = "col">
<cfset l = l + 1>
<cfif l EQ tindx - 1>
<cfset prevcol= col>
</cfif>
<cfif linefold GT 0>
<cfset lmod = i%linefold>
<cfelse>
<cfset lmod = 1>
</cfif>
<!--- printing detail --->
<cfif l LE m AND repdetail NEQ 'n'>
<td class = "repsubthead"> Subtotal:
<b>#qrep[col][currentrow]#</b></td>
</cfif>
<!--- printing totals only; row labels --->
<cfif repdetail EQ 'n' AND l EQ tindx >
<cfset frowarr[footrow] = qrep[col][currentrow]>
<cfset footrow_1 = footrow - 1>
<cfif footrow EQ 1>
<td style = "font-size: 13px" > #qrep[col][currentrow]#</td>
<cfelseif frowarr[footrow] NEQ frowarr[footrow_1] >
<td style = "font-size: 13px;"> #qrep[col]currentrow]#</td>
<cfelse>
<cfset testrow = footrow>
<td class = "repsubthead" style = "padding-top: 10px"> Total #qrep[prevcol] currentrow]# </td>
</cfif>
.... lots more before we get to end of loop
This part of the code prints out a row label for each row. Further in the program there is a similar loop to print out the value for the row. Everything is working fine except for one problem I can't trace. An extra row is being inserted in one spot, with no data in it. Part of the table is here:
State: CT
AVS 25.00
COMB 15.00
Email2010 15.00
REF 75.00
STRLST01 22.00
extra row inserted here, height much smaller than other rows
STRLST04 50.00
Total CT 202.00
I have copied this table to a Libre Office document and zoomed in on the bad row. It is definitely there, and it contains a blinking item that looks like this: '
I cannot delete this item from the row in Libre Office, although I am able to delete the entire row. The blinking thing disappears when I put my cursor in another row.
I have checked both STRLST01 and STRLST04 in my MySQL database, and they seem fine, with no anomalies. I cannot find anywhere in my code where I would be inserting an extra row (altho admittedly the code is very complicated).
Has anyone seen something like this? Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this?
Just a shot in the dark here... but try sanitizing your table content. For example:
#htmlEditFormat(qrep[col][currentrow])#
This would be to rule out that the TR in "STRLST01" isn't getting processed as <TR>. I've seen dynamic tables like this one go haywire because the content gets interpreted as HTML.

What is the generated HTML? Looking at the actual generated output rather than the rendered output could help you find if it's bad data being dumped into another row or if it's a bug in your HTML generation routine.
If it's an odd special character in your data, the HTMLEditFormat() or XMLFormat() functions should find it and deal with it. Or at least make it easier to troubleshoot.

ColdFusion: Can you pull out a unique record from a query using recordCount?

It's a bit of tricky question, however, my page for most rated bands displays the band logos in order of how high they have been rated. My only problem is i want to count through the records by using a cfloop from 1 to 10 and because it is split in to two columns, have one counting 1 through to 9 and the other 2 through to 10, each of them with steps of two.
Can anybody help me with this? If i've confused just mention it and ill try to clarify exactly what i mean.
<DIV class="community_middle">
<cfoutput query="top10MostRated">
<cfloop from="2" to="10" index="i" step="2">
<DIV class="communityContent">
#chr(i)#
<IMG src="logo/#top10MostRated.Logo#" alt="#top10MostRated.Name#" width="100%" height="100%"></IMG>
</DIV>
<BR/>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
</DIV>
If you're looking to do odd/even lists separately, then you can use the currentrow property of the query combined with the modulo operator (%) to work out if the row is odd or even:
<cfloop query="topBands>
<cfif topBands.currentRow % 2 = 1>
<!--- do your odd number output here --->
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfloop query="topBands>
<cfif topBands.currentRow % 2 = 0>
<!--- do your even number output here --->
</cfif>
</cfloop>
I think these answers address your side-by-side part of your question but does not explain the "same image" issue. Their code is written correctly but does not explain the reason.
Your code:
<IMG src="logo/#top10MostRated.Logo#"
alt="#top10MostRated.Name#"
width="100%" height="100%"></IMG>
... would be fine if you were only inside a <cfloop query = "top10MostRated"> or <cfoutput query = "top10MostRated"> block. The reason is because inside these types of blocks CF is smart enough to know you want the data for the current row. It would be the same as:
<IMG src="logo/#top10MostRated.Logo[top10MostRated.currentRow]#"
alt="#top10MostRated.Name[top10MostRated.currentRow]#"
width="100%" height="100%" />
Because you're nesting the to/from cfloop inside a <cfoutput query = ""> block, you are getting unexpected results. Your existing code is always asking for the record provided by your outer loop. Hence you see the same image 5 times. (using any of the fine examples provided will help you get out of this) but, you can remove the query from your cfoutput and simply ask CF to show you the value for the correct row in your loop using your index (you set your index to "i") so the below would show you the image that corresponds to your loop.
<IMG src="logo/#top10MostRated.Logo[i]#"
alt="#top10MostRated.Name[i]#"
width="100%" height="100%" />
It sounds like what you'd like to get is a collection of even-numbered records and a collection of odd-numbered records. In Coldfusion 10 or Railo 4, you can use groupBy() from Underscore.cfc to split up your query result into manageable sub-sets, like so:
_ = new Underscore();// instantiate the library
groupedBands = _.groupBy(topBands, function (val, index) {
return index % 2 ? "odd" : "even";
});
This returns a struct with two elements odd and even, each containing an array of records which are odd or even. Example result:
{
odd: [{name: "Band one"}, {name: "Band three"}],
even: [{name: "Band two"}, {name: "Band four"}]
}
Splitting your results into logical sub-sets makes the code more readable:
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="1" to="5" index="i">
<div class="left">#groupedBands.odd[i].name#</div>
<div class="right">#groupedBands.even[i].name#</div>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
You'll also be able to use those sub-sets in other places on your page if you need to.
Note: I wrote Underscore.cfc
Ben Nadel has a post exactly for this. Link here
A breakdown for this is
<cfloop query="top10MostRated">
<cfif top10MostRated.CurrentRow MOD 2>
<!--- Add to the "odd list" --->
<cfelse>
<!--- Add the record to the "even list" --->
</cfif>
</cfloop>
Then you'll have 2 lists oddList and evenList. Then it's just a matter of displaying them.
I'd do it a different way. The objective is to have records 1 and 2 side by side and I don't see that in #barnyr's answer.
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="2" to="topbands.recordcount + 1" index = "i" step="2">
#topbands.fieldname[i-1]#
<cfif i lte topbands.recordcount>
#topbands.fieldname[i]# <br />
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

CFLOOP with doubles - Coldfusion

I am trying to use cfloop to loop form 0.0 to 5.0 but it takes out the decimal point and is looping from 0 to 5 instead.
This is my code
<select name="cweight">
<option value="">---</option>
<cfloop index = "cweight" from = "0.0" to = "5.0">
<option value="#cweightid#">#cweight#</option>
</cfloop>
</select>
I need the loop to go over 0.1,0.2,0.3 until it reaches 5.0.
What should I add to allow me to do this?
CF doesn't have "doubles" - numbers have decimal places when they need them.
To do what you want, use NumberFormat with the mask set to 0.0 so that you always get a decimal place.
To increment by 0.1 at a time, simply set the cfloop step attribute.
<cfloop index="cweight" from="0" to="5" step="0.1">
<option value="#cweight#">#NumberFormat( cweight ,'0.0' )#</option>
</cfloop>

Limiting number of pages on a paging list

I am working on revamping a sites' paging system, and I have run into something simple I can't seem to solve. I am trying to show pages (1 2 3 4 5) at a time, and when the user gets to page 5, the list changes to something like (4 5 6 7 8). How could I do this using a cfloop? Here is a sample of my code:
<cfloop from="1" to="#totalPages#" index="i">
<cfoutput><a class="paging" href="?start=#(i*25)-24#">#i#</a></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
At the moment it shows pages 1 - 54 all at once. Any tips?
Heres my code
<cfset curPage = Int(start / 25) + 1>
<cfloop from="1" to="#totalPages#" index="i">
<cfif i is curPage>
<div class="page current">#i#</div>
<cfelse>
<cfif totalPages lte 5 or i is 1 or i is totalPages or (i gt curPage - 3 and i lt curPage + 3) or ((curPage is 1 or curPage is 2) and i lt 6) >
<div class="page">#i#</div>
<cfelse>
<cfif i is 2 or i is totalPages - 1>
<div class="more">...</div>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
What this code does is it shows the first 5 pages, then an ellipsis, then the last page. As you page through it, it will always show the link to the first and last page, plus 2 page before and after the current page.
Screenshots: Page 1 and page 10
You should be able to easily modify this to work exactly how you want it. (I happen to not like when all of the links change at once the way you described)
There is a great open source pagination library that will solve your problem. I can't say enough good things about it because I wrote it. Shameless, I know. Anyways:
http://www.dopefly.com/projects/pagination/
Check out the docs, they are very complete and helpful. In your code, printing the page numbers are as simple as calling #pagination.getRenderedHTML()#. It is pretty customizable so that you can change the numbers that are printed and you can style the output however you like.
How about:
<cfloop from="#url.startpage#" to="#url.startpage+4#" index="i">
<cfif i LE totalpages>
<cfoutput><a class="paging" href="?start=#(i*25)-24#">#i#</a></cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
Of course you would need to add "startpage" to your url and manipulate it appropriately. So your first link would be startpage=1 but your last would be startpage=4 (if I understand your question correctly).
