RE: Suppressing the Output in a Custom Tag
Hey. it's been a long week. Actually, I've never had to use the generated content attribute...

Re: Suppressing the Output in a Custom Tag
I would suggest taking a look at the custom tag cf_bodycontent from the fusebox.org tag galleries. It uses a tag and an addition app_layout.cfm to do what your trying to do. Its open source so you can see what its doing and modify it further if necessary.

that's interesting, Dave... I didn't realize you could tell a tag not to output physical text embedded between it's opening and closing tags.

Re: Suppressing the Output in a Custom Tag
I think you can remove the contents inside your nested tag like this: cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode eq 'end' cfset ThisTag.GeneratedContent = '' /cfif Or if you want to see what the output would have been in an HTML comment: cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode eq 'end' cfset ThisTag.GeneratedContent = '!-- #ThisTag.GeneratedContent# --' /cfif At 08:33 AM 11/9/00 -0700, Troy Hiltbrand wrote: I am trying to create a tag that will encapsulate all of my page formatting that looks like this. cf_PageFormat This is a test /cf_PageFormat Everything to do with formatting is inside of the custom tag.
