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.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Thinking About Life

So sleepy today, I don't know why that is. Trying to watch the Super Bowl, but I just feel like I want to fall asleep. Talk about nuts and crazy, yet here I am. I don't have a clue who I want to win the game. I've chosen to root for the 49ers only because I've been told that I have to choose. Haha! Yeah it's that crazy if you ask me. Oh well, I'm sure whoever wins the game it will all work outin the end. I'm not feeling well. Let's face it, I could be having a mental break at the moment but I just don't know. I hope that's not the case, if it were then I have to figure things out and fix them. That's all there is to it. Nothing more than that. Storing these thoughts in a database is a good idea I think. I can query a database for certain key words and go from there. It's a good thing for sure. So yeah that's all there is to it. With the thought of a 4th voice in my head/mind, I am afriad to go to sleep. What if it follows me aroun...
