I didn't want to use a trimmed caller variable, as doing so is three times more complicated than just getting the results via the custom tag itself. Fine for me, but I intend this to be used by others in my company, and the simpler the usage the better. So, I can use: cf_MyCustomTag

Does your custom tag really need to write the string to the output stream? Usually, you'll create custom tags to do some processing and return the results within a variable specified by the caller. Jim - Original Message - From: Jamie Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL

You can't. Well, maybe you could be annoying to the point that they'd want to log out, but in reality you cannot MAKE them log out. The way to log somebody out is to use a inactivity timeout for their session and when they've been inactive for longer than this time, you consider them logged

You say you want to cache content, so performance appears to be the prime consideration. The domain/site setup probably wouldn't be much of a factor. There's no difference between setting up distinct domains and subdomains, except at the DNS level. Each one is a distinct 'host' name, and would

Unless you've got a table of distinct companies for registrants to choose from, you've got to solve the problem in the search application. Using a drop down list here, when you know there could be multiple spellings of a company, is probably the wrong approach. It depends a little on how exact

The closest thing would be the smtp VRFY command. Many (most?) email server admins have the command disabled in order to prevent the harvesting of email addresses, so it's all but worthless in verifying the validity of an address. JIm - Original Message - From: Steve Reich [EMAIL
