No problem. But Sandy's gonna yell at me for using tables : )
In the Application.cfm, I create an array that holds the navigation
elements:
<cfif arrayIsEmpty(application.navArray)> <!--- this array is declared
earlier in the Application.cfm --->
<cflock scope="application" timeout="10" type="exclusive">
<cfscript>
temp = arrayResize(application.navArray, 5);
application.navArray[1][1] = "home page";
application.navArray[1][2] = "";
application.navArray[2][1] = "about charlie";
application.navArray[2][2] = "about/";
application.navArray[3][1] = "resumé";
application.navArray[3][2] = "resume/";
application.navArray[4][1] = "code samples";
application.navArray[4][2] = "code/";
application.navArray[5][1] = "photos";
application.navArray[5][2] = "photos/";
</cfscript>
</cflock>
</cfif>
The custom tag is called as:
<cfmodule
template="_lib/inc/nav.cfm"
page="home page"
>
where the 'page' attribute matches the 2nd dimension of the navArray.
for nav.cfm, I've put the code up at
http://charlie.griefer.com/_lib/inc/nav_code.cfm (figured it would be much
easier to read than in a word-wrapping email client).
let me know if you have any questions.
Charlie
