CFGRID (html) column a href issue

Question

Hello All,
I am using the new cf8 html cfgrid. My Grid column is as
follows:
<cfgrid name = "NewReports" format="html" height="170"
width="780" pageSize=5 sort=true>
<cfgridcolumn width="160" name = "VIEWREPORT"
header="Report" href="ViewReport.cfm?status=new"
hrefkey="REP_REPORT_ID" target="_blank">
</cfgrid>
on the rows that do not have data (example if the query
returns only 1 row.. there are 4 blank rows on the grid for page 1)
the viewreports column shows a link. How do I go about not showing
this link for blank rows? This was never an issue for flash grids,
it seems that this is only appearing in html grids.
Thanks

Answer 1

it's not strange at all. your href is not inside a cfloop or
cfoutput,
so any reference to a query column will reference the first
row only.
one thing you can do is add a column that contains the full
href text to
your query, i.e.:
SELECT categoryID, categoryName, CONCAT('/l/listing/tag/',
categoryName,
'.html') AS hreflink
FROM...
the above syntax is for MySQL, but your db will have its own
CONCAT()
function equivalent.
