Chris,

Let me first assume that you are using friendly URL’s. If so then
maybe the following will help you, it worked for me.

On a page url.path would equal /go/sales/widgets/.... or /go/support/
widgets/.... etc.

<cfset section = listGetAt(url.path,2,"/")> will get either “sales” or
“support” depending on what page is being displayed.

You can then use this in your container names to have a container for
sales to pull support content and vice versa. e.g.
<con:container label="#section#" defaultMirrorLabel="#section#
Container">

Dynamic container naming is very powerful.

Chris.
