you're right, I just poorly phrased my answer. What I meant was that you lose the ability to take action between the start and end execution modes. Because I don't think when you call cfmodule there is an end execution mode.
To me, the real benefit of having start/end tags in your custom tags is that you can just embed content between them and then you have access to it in the end execution mode of your tag. You lose this functionality when using cfmodule. </rob> -----Original Message----- From: Pascal Peters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 11:57 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Quick question on custom tags This is not true. You can perfectly use the ThisTag scope with cfmodule. In fact, I do it all the time. You have to be carefull with nesting <cfmodule>s.

In other words you can't have tags like <cf_MyCustomTag> blah blah </cf_MyCustomTag> I think someone else alluded to it, but starting with CF5 you can add additional custom tag paths via the CF administrator. when you call <cf_MyCustomTag> CF will search the depth of the custom tag tree(s) looking for a file called MyCustomTag.cfm. If you have 2 tags with the same name it will use the first one it finds (you will see warnings about this in one of the server logs). </rob> -----Original Message----- From: Eric J Hoffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 11:14 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Quick question on custom tags Use <cfmodule> to call it.Regards, Eric J.

I am using <cf_cf_formurl2attributes> but I would like to have one copy residing in a "commonfiles" folder at root. This would take something like <../cf_cf_formurl2attributes> right? It doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
