I have a simple loop

<cfloop list="#prodDetails.matchProds#" index="matching" delimiters=",">
<cfoutput>
<a href="/catalog/?ProductID=#matching#&Category=#URL.category#"> #matching#</a><br />
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

That currents displays results as:

Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
etc...

I am trying to figure out how to make the out appear as such:

Value 1 Value 2
Value 3 Value 4
Value 5 etc...

Any help here would be much appreciated. Regards.

To make that code more efficient, put the loop inside the cfoutput instead of the way you have it now.

Thank you! Using your suggestion, I have used a boolean type of syntax to make it work perfectly. Many thanks.

You need a conditional <cfif> block around the <br/> tag.

The condition for this if block needs to be true when you want the <br/>
displayed and when it is not.

If you want to and only two elements between each <br/> tag, you could
get by with a boolean that is flipped back and forth.

If you want more flexibility where you can have different numbers of
element between the <br/> tags, use a counter and the MOD operator.

Is that enough help?

Something like this?

<cfloop list="#prodDetails.matchProds#" index="matching" delimiters=",">
<cfoutput>
<cfif matching MOD 2 EQ 0>
<a href="/catalog/?ProductID=#matching#&Category=#URL.category#"> #matching#</a><br />
<cfelse>
<a href="/catalog/?ProductID=#matching#&Category=#URL.category#"> #matching#</a>&nbsp
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
