Using CSS within CFIF Statements??

[ma701sd]

Hi, can anyone help with this Prob??

What Im trying to do is to set a variable using many CFIF statements. Enclosed within the CFIF Statements, I am trying to set a variable for CSS. It looks something like this:

<CFIF ISDEFINED ('form.heading') AND ISDEFINED ('Form.X') AND ISDEFINED ('form.Y')>
<CFSET HeadingX=&quot;#X#&quot;>
<CFSET HeadingY=&quot;#Y#&quot;>

<STYLE TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot;>
#positionheading
{
position:absolute;
top: <CFOUTPUT>#HeadingX#</cfoutput>px;
left: <cfoutput>#HeadingYY#</cfoutput>px;
}
</style>

<CFELSEIF ISDEFINED ('form.Section1Heading1') AND ISDEFINED ('Form.X') AND ISDEFINED ('form.Y')>
<CFSET Section1Heading1X=&quot;#X#&quot;>
<CFSET Section1Heading1Y=&quot;#Y#&quot;>

<STYLE TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot;>
#positionSection1Heading1
{
position:absolute;
top: <CFOUTPUT>#Section1Heading1X#</cfoutput>px;
left: <cfoutput>#Section1Heading1Y#</cfoutput>px;
}
</style>


ETC ETC,
However, WHen Coldfusion starts to process the CFIF statements, it fails when it encounters the curly Brackets &quot;{&quot;. Are these not allowed within CFIF statements?

Am I doing something wrong or is there a work-around?

If any1 has any ideas, I would really appreciate it..

Many thanks

Sam...

I'd guess you're getting an invalid parser error. If that's what you're getting, you probably have a <cfoutput> tag somewhere above this block of code and it's looking at #positionheading as a field and obviously getting messed up when it finds the bracket. I can't see any other way that the bracket would return an error. Andrew
