Sorry, I didn't even read the other posts on this subject, so I address the
second question.
Second point 'smashing together' your custom tags is not the best way to do
it, and yes there is a better solution.
You need to use the executionmode
(from the help reference)
<CFIF ThisTag.executionmode is 'start'>
<!--- Start tag processing --->
<CFELSE>
<!--- End tag processing --->
</CFIF>
and the generated content
(from the help reference)
<CFIF ThisTag.executionmode is 'end'>
<CFSET ThisTag.GeneratedContent =
trim(ThisTag.GeneratedContent)>
</CFIF>
and when you call your tag, you will need to call it using the new
calling method :
<cf_TagName></cf_TagName>
or if appropriate
<cf_TagName/>
Please let me know if this helps,
