Display form data without blank fields. (Coldfusion)

[Guest]

I would like to display data that was enter into a form, but without the fields that were left blank. For example, if someone enters their info in address 1 but left address 2 blank, I want to display address 1 and then display the next completed form field if address 2 was left blank. I am writing this in Coldfusion.

What I am trying to do is allow clients to create and preview a preformatted business card online so we eliminate the back and forth proofing process. The design for each card is the same, but with variable information. Ex., Address 1, Address 2, Cell Phone 1, Cell Phone 2, etc. When fields are left blank I want to eliminate them from being displayed as blank spaces.

Thank you in advance.

Just wrap your preview in IF statements like this

<CFIF Form.Fieldname neq "">
#Form.Fieldname#
</cfif>

Thank you Paul. That worked perfectly!

You might also want to TRIM(Form.Fieldname) first to make sure no spaces
were entered on the form.

<CFIF TRIM(Form.Fieldname) neq "">
#Form.Fieldname#
</cfif>
