Thanks for this.... I am getting an odd error though, using this tag... I've
copied my tag and the error below.
Re: logic.... What I am trying to do is check to see if a container actually
has an object in it before displaying tables surrounding it. I need the ID's
to check this info.
I have sort of found a way around it, but it is very clunky and I am not
entirely happy about it - I use <cfa_containerGetID> for every container on
the page using the container names.... the thing I don't like about this is
that it requires me to make all assumptions about the page beforehand, when
infact, I'd like to see which containers are present and simply check to see
if they've been used or not.
Here's my tag:
<cfa_siteElementGetChildren
dataSource="#Request.cfa.objectstore.dsn#"
elementName="#pageID#"
elementType="page"
r_stChildren="r_stChildren">
Here's the error I get:
