Hi George,
You make recursive functions in CF just as you would in any language. Well,
of course, CF doesn't yet have user-definable functions, but you can
certainly make recursive Custom Tags. It may not always be the most
efficient method, but it can be very effective when speed is not a vital
issue. It always seems alittle like magic to me.
There's really no special trick. A CustomTag can be called with parameters
(ie ATTRIBUTES). Inside the tag, the code calls this same tag, hopefully
with a different set of attributes. There are two things you need to do to
make recursion work:
1) The attributes with which you call the tag need to be changing; and
2) There needs to be some condition where the code DOES NOT make the
recursive call.
Without these two conditions, the recursion goes on infinitely, and never
"pops" up again.
But I guess you knew all that already. Sorry for the lecture.
Best of luck,
Lee (Bjork) Borkman
