<!---- Use CFIF to test a condition when outputting a query. ----->
<p>The following centers are in San Diego:
<cfoutput query="getCenters">
<cfif Trim(City) is "San Diego">
<br><b>Name/Address:</b>#Name#, #Address1#, #City#, #State#
<br><b>Contact:</b> #Contact#
<br>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<hr>
<p>If we would like more than one condition to be the case, we can ask for
a list of the centers in San Diego <b>OR</b> Santa Ana. If the center
does not follow this condition, we can use CFELSE to show only
the names and cities of the other centers.
<p>Notice how a nested CFIF is used to specify the location of
the featured site (Santa Ana or San Diego).
<!----- Use CFIF to specify a conditional choice for multiple options;
also note the nested CFIF. --->
<p>Complete information is shown for centers in San Diego or Santa Ana.
All other centers are listed in italics:
<cfoutput query="getCenters">
<cfif Trim(City) is "San Diego" OR Trim(City) is "Santa Ana">
<h4>Featured Center in
<cfif Trim(City) is "San Diego">
San Diego
<cfelse>
Santa Ana
</cfif>
</h4> <b>Name/Address:</b>#Name#, #Address1#, #City#, #State#
<br><b>Contact:</b> #Contact#<br>
<cfelse>
<br><i>#Name#, #City#</i>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<hr>
<p>Finally, we can use CFELSEIF to cycle through a number of conditions and
produce varying output. Note that you can use CFCASE and CFSWITCH for a more
elegant representation of this behavior.
<!--- Use CFIF in conjunction with CFELSEIF to specify more than one
branch in a conditional situation. --->
<cfoutput query="getCenters">
<cfif Trim(City) is "San Diego" OR Trim(City) is "Santa Ana">
<br><i>#Name#, #City#</i> (this one is in
<cfif Trim(City) is "San Diego">San Diego
<cfelse>Santa Ana
</cfif>)
<cfelseif Trim(City) is "San Francisco">
<br><i>#Name#, #City#</i> (this one is in San Francisco)
<cfelseif Trim(City) is "Suisun">
<br><i>#Name#, #City#</i> (this one is in Suisun)
<cfelse> <br><i>#Name#</i>
<b>Not in a city we track</b>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
