CFSETTING changes the way the reqeust is processed in various ways. We only care about the ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY attribute in this case, which determines whether all rendered content is sent to the browser or only the content that's contained within CFOUTPUT tags. To put that another way, content within CFOUTPUT tags is always sent to the browser, but content outside CFOUTPUT tags is only sent when ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY is false (it's default state). CFSETTING is like flipping a switch; it's not a block-level tag that affects it's contained elements (like CFOUTPUT or CFIF).
Take this sample page for example: <html> <head> <title>Hello, World!</title> </head> <body> <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true" /> <cfoutput>it's now #now()#</cfoutput> </body> </html> The page will start processing, emitting all it's content. So everything down to the BODY tag will be sent to the browser. Then the CFSETTING tag is encountered, and it changes the way the page is processed so that only content within CFOUTPUT blocks is returned. Processing continues, and the line that displays the date will be sent to the browser. The closing BODY and HTML tags, however, will not be set to the browser, because the request is still in ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY mode. If you were to add a second CFSETTING tag with ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="false" after the closing CFOUTPUT tag, then the remainder of the page would be sent.
