ColdFusion how to set form input values from the results of a cfquery?

Question

Question: (part 1) I am looking for the most efficient way to set my form input values based on the results of my cfquery. My form fields all match

Answer 1

Please try the following jQuery code snippet.

var selDefualtVal = '#getFormData.product_category#';
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
         jQuery("#product_category option[value='"+selDefualtVal+"']").attr("selected","selected");
});

Answer 2

for select you can try a comparison for each option values like:

   <select name="product_category" id="product_category">
        <option value="ts8-it" <cfif CompareNoCase(getFormData.product_category,"ts8-it") EQ 0>selected="selected"</cfif> >TS8-Data Center </option>

Same way you can try the radio fields,

  <input id="rails_yes" type="radio" name="19_Rails" value="yes" <cfif getFormData.19_Rails>checked="checked"</cfif> > 

  <input id="rails_no" type="radio" name="19_Rails" value="no" <cfif NOT getFormData.19_Rails>checked="checked"</cfif> >
