from FuseWiki (http://www.meta-magic.com/cgi-bin/fusewiki?BodyContent)...
"CF_BodyContent (though probably misnamed) is one of Steve Nelson's coolest
and most underrated tags. There's not much to it really. It just dumps the
output of the enclosed CFML code into a variable (request.bodycontent by
default), instead of pumping it it straight out to the browser.
"BUT... the uses of this are incredibly varied. The most common technique is
to execute blocks of code in any order you wish, and then display the
resulting HTML blocks in a different order. For example, you can execute the
page body before you execute the header. This allows logic in the body code
to affect the execution of the header code, so the body logic can determine
the page title, or can call for enclosing <FRAMESET> code instead of <HTML>.
"To summarise the technique: - Use CF_BodyContent to dump the output of your
code blocks into variables, deciding on the execution order that suits you
best; - Use a simple CF template to output and layout the resulting HTML
blocks any way you like.
"The uses of this tag go way beyond FuseBox, although the two together make
a perfect partnership"
Man, whoever wrote that sure gets carried away!
Have fun.
LeeBB.
ps., the syntax is <CF_BodyContent NAME=XXX>...</CF_BodyContent>. Returns
the output of the code inside to the variable request.XXX.
