CFELSE not executing

[NatheManning]

I have a form with simple IF (field not blank) output field ELSE output   structures.  In the middle of processing them, ColdFusion starts skipping the CFELSE parts of these structures.

ColdFusion 10.

I don't see anything wrong with the code.

Anybody know what's going on?

My guess is white space.

I tend to approach problems like this with this sort of thing.

if some condition is true

output "yes"

else

output "no"

output other relevent data to help you figure out why you are in the else block.

The test is <CFIF queryfield NEQ ""> <CFELSE>.  I am in the process of adding cfparameters defaulted to "" for the query result parameters to see if that helps...

I will buy you a pony if you stop capitalizing your tags.

Still looks like white space.  It also looks like you might want to output some data into your if block to see what's going on.  Maybe something like "before__" & "___after"

    <cfelse>
     <td>Not Provided</td>
    </cfif>
     </tr>
    </cfoutput>
  </table>

The <cfif Phone NEQ ""> is where the <cfelse> gets skipped.

Put all of it into a cftry/cfcatch, then cfdump the #cfcatch#.

Hi,

You can try the below.

<cfif Len(Phone) NEQ 0>

     <td>#Phone#</td>

    <cfelse>

     <td>Not Provided</td>

    </cfif>

Trim.

<cfif trim(Address1) NEQ "">

<td>#Address1#</td>

<cfelse>

<td>Not Provided</td>

</cfif>

<cfif trim(Address2) NEQ "">

<td>#Address2#</td>

<cfelse>

<td>Not Provided</td>

</cfif>

<cfif trim(City) NEQ "">

<td>#City#</td>

<cfelse>

<td>Not Provided</td>

</cfif>

<cfif trim(State) NEQ "">

<td>#SelectState.StateName#</td>

<cfelse>

<td>Not Provided</td>

</cfif>

<cfif trim(Phone) NEQ "">

<td>#Phone#</td>

<cfelse>

<td>Not Provided</td>

</cfif>

<cfif trim(Email) NEQ "">

<td><a href="#Email#mailto:#Email#">#Email#</a></td>

<cfelse>

<td>Not Provided</td>

</cfif>

I always try to use:

<cfif len(trim(Email)) neq 0>

to prevent null/blank/space errors.

It's the same as <cfif trim(Email) NEQ "">
