Try something LIKE this inside of your custom tag: <cfset theQuery = "caller.#attributes.queryname#">
<cfoutput query="theQuery"> blah blah </cfoutput> Thanks, André -----Original Message----- From: John Stanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 March 2003 14:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: Custom Tag Question I am creating a custom tag that will display the results of a query. I know there are already some out there, but I wanna do it myself. I have an attribute called queryname that i refer to in the call of the custom tag. <cf_mytag queryname="get_users"> inside the custom tag i refer to it as attributes.queryname as in the following <cfoutput query="#attributes.queryname#"> blah blah </cfoutput> I keep getting the following error. Attribute validation error for tag cfoutput. The value of the attribute query, which is currently "get_users", is invalid. The error occurred in C:\CFusionMX\CustomTags\tabledata.cfm: line 20 18 : <th></th> </th> 19 : </tr> 20 : <cfoutput query="#attributes.queryname#"> I have called the custom tag after the query. Does the custom tag still execute first? The custom tag appears before the query in debugging. If so what is a competent work around for this problem.? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
