Anyone got any good articles (html) that I can have a look at.

I'm wanting to create something to hold a session based structure of the form:

<cfset session.cart.item=1>
<cfset session.cart.item.color=5>
<cfset session.cart.item.row=231>

etc...

But its giving me errors. I've seen examples similar to this, so I'm wondering where I'm going wrong.

Eventually I want 'color' and 'row' fields to be arrays, but first things first!

Seem to have things sussed now. All I need to know is how to append an array onto a structure

eg. I want:
cart.item[].qty

At the moment I have:
item[].qty

I need to know the instruction that can append
item[].qty onto the cart structure to make cart.item[].qty

Cheers Rich, you're a lifesaver! The answer your man gave me was perfect for what I need to know.

What did you say your internet hosting company was again ?

No problem, Datacenta but I won't post a link just in case I get accused of advertising!

BTW - We can host Cold Fusion sites, not sure if you knew that...

Ok, finally managed to track something down on the net.
Stuctures within structures, arrays within structures, etc...

Out of interest, could anyone tell me how to setup this...

#cart.item[1].qty#

I did it like this but I'm not sure about the line in bold type

<!--- Step1. Define the variables --->
<CFSET var_qty=15>
<CFSET var_merchID=246>

<!--- Step2 Create a structure 'struct_item' to contain those variables --->
<CFSET struct_item=StructNew()>
<CFSET stuct_item.merchID=var_merchID>
<CFSET struct_item.qty=var_qty>

<!--- Step3 Define the array 'array_item' --->
<CFSET array_item=ArrayNew(1)>
<CFSET array_item[1]=struct_item>
<CFSET array_item[2]=struct_item>

Are those last two lines in bold correct ? I was hoping to simply replace them with one line which reads:

<CFSET array_item=struct_item>
