Hi,

I have a fuse that returns part-related data from a database.  It looks like
this:

<cfswitch expression = "#Attributes.Fuseaction#">
    <cfcase value = "getpartsreport">
        <cfinclude template = "logic/act_setqueryvars.cfm">
        <cfinclude template = "query/qry_getparts.cfm">
                        <cfinclude template = "query/qry_getecns.cfm">
        <cfinclude template = "query/qry_getecrs.cfm">
        <cfinclude template = "query/qry_getdevs.cfm">
        <cfinclude template = "logic/act_setdspvars.cfm">
        <cfinclude template = "display/js_formcontrol.cfm">
        <cfinclude template = "display/dsp_searchbypn.cfm">
    </cfcase>
</cfswitch>

The fuse takes user input from a form, preps the part number or range of part
number variables for query, queries the database, preps the results for form
display, then displays them.  If the user wants data on a range of parts, all
the parts returned will appear in a select box.  A Javascript function will
detect changes in the box's selectedindex, then update some associated display
elements whose values are included in data objects under a matching index.

In the act_setdspvars.cfm template, I've wrapped a <cfloop query> tag around a
javascript tag like this:

<cfloop query="getparts">

    <cfset part = getparts.part>
    <cfset description = getparts.description>
    <cfset revision = getparts.revision>
    <cfset change_date = getparts.change_date>
    <cfset filename = getparts.filename>
    <cfset size_printed = getparts.size_printed>
   
    <cfset thisrow = getparts.currentrow - 1>
   
    <cfoutput>
        <script language="Javascript">
            var pn_#thisrow# = new Object();
            pn_#thisrow#.part = #part#;
            pn_#thisrow#.description = #description#;
            pn_#thisrow#.revision = #revision#;
            pn_#thisrow#.change_date = #change_date#;
            pn_#thisrow#.filename = #filename#;
            pn_#thisrow#.size_printed = #size_printed#;
        </script>
    </cfoutput>
   
</cfloop>

I keep getting a javascript error error with this code.  It says Error: line
(x).  Expected ;.

I'm not missing any semicolons.  At this point, I haven't hooked in the
onchange event for the select box. The browser (IE6) just seems to throw an
error as soon as it sees this script.

Help!
