Hello, I built a dreamweaver coldfusion form that sends information via cfmail. My problem is that the form has several selections and many of them may not be selected. I want to ignore the textboxes not selected when the form sends the emails because the email is too cluttered. is there a way to do this.....thanks, kevin

Sure there is a way.

If statements would probably do the job easily. Just test for blank fields. len(trim(form.field)) EQ 0 is the usual test.

Thanks ilssac for the quick reply...... the form fields are blank to begin with so If the form fields are left blank, for instance say "qty_item_1" is left blank and "qty_item_2" has a value of 3 when the form is submitted. i get this in the email......

Quantity item1:

Quantity item2: 3

The quantity is left out in "Quantity item1:" which i want but i still get the "Quantity item1:" and i dont want that........

.......thanks, kevin

my code below

Dear #Trim(FORM.FirstName)#

Thanks for Your Order!

You submitted the following information:
Quantity item 1: #Trim(FORM.qty_item_1)#
Quantity item 2: #Trim(FORM.qty_item_2)#
--TOTAL AMOUNT DUE-- #Trim(FORM.grandTotal)#

You submitted the following information:
<cfif len(trim(FORM.qty_item_1)) GT 0>Quantity item 1: #Trim(FORM.qty_item_1)#</cfif>
Quantity item  2: #Trim(FORM.qty_item_2)#
--TOTAL AMOUNT DUE-- #Trim(FORM.grandTotal)#

That should result in something different.
