Yeah, you could rewrite all html controls and CF controls (which rewrite html one's) using tags but you're right...there is no value. Yet in still, this won't solve a code-behind desire. runat="server" all you want...you'd have to still instantiate a CFC or in app.cfc set the values of the element. The prob is, from what I know of CF, you can't control any page element after the page has been included (either direct or via app.cfm/cfc).
