Deleting from an Array

[anastasia]

HI,

I am trying to delete an element in an Array, however the problem is never straight forward.

I have a 2 dimensional Array which is populated with products such as id, description etc. These are then displayed from the Array into a table. Beside each row/product displayed is an update and delete button created for each product in each row, generated within a loop. I want to be able to click on the delete button and then the product in that row is deleted from the array? I really have no idea how to go about this. Any ideas would be super.

p.s I am not sure where within the button I would type the code as I have tried typing code after the A href checkput.cfm? and get an error as I take it it starts from the top of the page and goes through the code again resulting in error in the arrays.

The code for the buttons is given below:<A
href=&quot;detail.cfm&quot;
target=mainFrame><IMG border=0 height=28 name=Image13
src=&quot;checkout_files/prod_update.gif&quot; width=67></A> </TD>
<TD align=right width=70> <A
href=&quot;checkout.cfm?&quot;target=mainFrame>
<IMG border=0 height=28 name=Image2 src=&quot;checkout_files/remove.gif&quot;
width=67></TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD colSpan=10><IMG height=5 src=&quot;checkout_files/shim.gif&quot;
width=20></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

If you cn do it, try using lists instead of arrays. They are easier to work with (although if you replace one 2 dimensional array you will need to use two lists) as there are list manipulation techniques such as listgetat and listdelat (or that one may be listdeleteat - not sure) which will accomplish what you want. You can also use the lists for looping to create your table also.

or you can also read the doc - especially for the ArrayDeleteAt() function ;-)
