Sounds like you're using tables, so try this:
Header opens table fills first row (top frame) and a new row with the first
column holding the left menu,
Then the body is displayed in the middle column.
The footer adds a right nav menu in the third column.
And another row (bottom frame)
TTTTTTTTTTTT
L MMMMMMMR
L MMMMMMMR
L MMMMMMMR
L MMMMMMMR
BBBBBBBBBBB
And so in the fuses you set attributes variables to modify the way the
header and footer display their menus later.
HTH,

I got that much of it... and what's more, it appears that whatever
code is
invoked within the <cf_bodycontent> tags can modify the variables
that hold
the header and footer, thus being able to drive their content on a
page-by-page basis.... cool enough.
But here's a reach I was wondering if this tag was good for >> I
have a
frame-like page that has varying "main" content that needs to drive
the
content of the surrounding navigational structure. I have left side
navs
and top navs that need to get created, based upon what the main part
of the
page does...its not framed, the page is just built in a frame-like
style.
The <cf_bodycontent> tag seems to do this type of thing for us, but
only for
the header and footer of a page...
can the so-called "header" be more than just a header for the page?
Can it
be a definition for what all of the page, except the main body part
looks
like? I want to invoke that content in just the same way.

~~ Hi all,
~~
~~ I'm just new to CF_BodyContent, but it's working beautifully.
~~
~~ Fist of all, grab the source for the entire fusebox.org site from
~~ fusebox.org. It is a perfect example/skeleton to start with.
~~
~~ Basically, there are two important files working together,
CF_BodyContent
~~ and app_layout.cfm (both supplied with CF_BodyContent). They get
~~ called like
~~ this in your FuseBox (index.cfm):
~~
~~
~~ <cf_bodycontent>
~~ <cfparam name="attributes.fuseaction" default="menu">
~~
~~ <!--- Handle FuseActions --->
~~ <cfswitch expression="#attributes.fuseaction#">
~~
~~ <CFCASE VALUE="menu">
~~ <CFSET request.title="Menu Page">
~~ blah
~~ blah
~~ blah
~~ </CFCASE>
~~
~~ </cfswitch>
~~ </cf_bodycontent>
~~
~~ <!--- Display the page --->
~~ <cfinclude template="app_layout.cfm">
~~
~~
~~ The CF_BodyContent builds a variable called BodyContent, BUT
~~ DOESN'T DISPLAY
~~ ANYTHING. app_layout THEN displays Header, BodyContent, and
Footer. The
~~ cool thing is that the logic in your body has ALREADY been
~~ executed, BEFORE
~~ you display your Header. That allows the logic in your body (in
your
~~ FuseAction, for example) to affect the display of the Header.
~~ In this case,
~~ my Menu FuseAction sets a variable (request.title). If my Header
file
~~ references that variable (it does!), then the Title displayed in
~~ my Header
~~ can be set by my Body logic.
~~
~~ Does that make sense?
~~
~~ Let me know if I have it all wrong ;-)
