Form Field Woes

I was working on something today... more of a proof of concept. I had a dynamic form from which the user would fill it out and click submit. They would then see if they filled it out correctly.



Well, I got a little stumped for a second or two regarding it... how would I check if the question was processed. Usually I do:




IsDefined("form.fieldname")


But with my question looking like:




answer_#q.question_id#


I couldn't quite do that. CF kept telling me it hated me. (Honest, those were its exact words.)



So I had to figure something out. At first I thought I'd have to use Evaluate... but well would you know that would be the wrong course of action? Ran across a website that told me to do this:




form["answer_#q.question_id#"]


Would you know that it worked? Oh yes it sure did work. So that made my day.

It can be annoying at best.

Life Ain't Easy

 Let's face it, this life isn't easy. Ther are things that we must do daily in order to survive. It can feel like you don't have any control over anything. Personally, I don't like feeling like this. Powerlessness is like the worst thing you can go through. Yet here we are wondering what there is to do about this life. Life has an interesting way to let you know you're alive. I suppose it's that simple. If simple is even the right word to use here. I'm not quite certain. There are days where this life feels like it's a chore. There's nothing going on that's important, and we are just doing our mundane things in and out. Every day the same thing. It's consistent, I'll give you that, but it can be boring. Sometimes you just have to go with the crowd and see what happens. There isn't a reason for it not to work out I guess, but well what can you do about it? Not much I'm afraid, not much at all. That's alright though, you have th...
