CF simply outputs any content in the file, it does not automatically make any decisions about what to display unless you have defined this with if/else block or switch/case statements or are dynamically generating the content. The other thing that could stop content being displayed is a <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes"> or a <cfsilent>
Also as you are using custom tags you can block the content with thistag.generatedcontent so i would check your code for all these possibilities Russ On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 6:49 PM, Michael Grant <mgr...@modus.bz> wrote: > > How your cf is set up does little to effect how the javascript will > communicate with other forms.
