Dynamic Accordion

Question

Hi --
I would like to build an accordion by iterating through a
record set and
create the open and close tags for the accordion based on a
value in my
database. However, when I try using the
<cfif>/<cfelse> tags with
<cfformgroup> inside I get an error because I have my
</cfformgroup> before
the <cfformgroup>
Below is my current code:
<cfform name="frmMainMenu" format="flash">
<cfformgroup type="accordion">
<cfoutput query="qryMenu">
<cfif #LINK# eq ''>
<cfformgroup type="page" label="#DESCRIPTION#"
name="page#ID#"/>
<cfelse>
<cfinput name="btn#ID#" type="button"
value="#DESCRIPTION#">
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
As you can see I have the CFFORMGROUP self closing at the
moment. What I
want to do is this
if (link = "")
close the open CFFORMGROUP (if open)
open the next CFFORMGROUP
else
display a button inside the CFFORMGROUP
I would set a variable prior to the first record to not close
the
cfformgroup since none is open and then I would have a
cfformgroup closed at
the end of my loop.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks
Rich

I figured it out in case anyone else wanted to know..
<cfquery name="qryMenu" datasource="cfWebHotel">
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tableNewMenu
ORDER BY ID ASC
</cfquery>
<cfform format="flash" name="myForm"
onload="onLoadForm();" width="210">
<cfformitem type="script">
import mx.core.View;
import mx.containers.*;
import mx.controls.Button;
function onLoadForm() {
var top = 1;
<cfoutput query="qryMenu">
<cfif #LINK# is ''>
var child_obj = my_acc.createChild(Canvas, "inst#ID#",
{label:"#DESCRIPTION#"});
top = 1;
<cfelse>
var menuButton:Object = child_obj.createChild(Button,
"btn#ID#", {_x:1,
_y:top, width:180, label:"#DESCRIPTION#"});
top = top + 22;
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</cfformitem>
<cfformgroup type="accordion" id="my_acc" width="184">
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
