valuelist question

[trojnfn]

I use valuelist to display a list of values :

#valuelist(qry.qualifierText, ", ")#

However, it will display continually across the page until it runs out of room, then wraps to the next line and continue until done.

How can I define it so that it will display only five on one line, then skip and dispaly the next five, then skip, etc. until completed ?

Don't use valuelist.  Use cfoutput query = yourquery.  Use the mod operator to decide where to put your line breaks.

You could also get away with a crafty regular expression that places a "<br/>" just before every fifth comma.   Something like this:

#ReReplace(sValueList, "(([^,]*,){5})", "$1<br/>", "all")#

Use arrays.  "Lists" are faked with commas.  ColdFusion does not have a genuine "list" data-type.
