RE: Caller access to query
Well, even though there's some issue of the best way to pull this off, I am having another problem. I am trying to create a custom tag that will out put user data into x number of columns with the attributes being QueryName and NumberOfColumns. My problem now is that I want to be able to mix plain text or html with variables. I've gotten it to do one or the other, if I use #evaluate(localcontent)# in the code below, I can output variables from the query that were passed, if I don't use evaluate, I can get text, but the variables show up as #variable#. Anyone know a way around this? #LocalContent# -Original Message- From: Andre Mohamed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 12:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Caller access to query Some people (not necessarily me) believe doing this is better: i.e. passing the query by value and hence avoiding breaking any kind of encapsulation.
