another CF ?
Ok, I have another one.
I checked Allaire Documentation for <cfswitch> tag. In their exapmle, they use this tag within <cfoutput>. However, when its run on the server, the following error message is generated:
Error processing CFOUTPUT tag
The tag CFswitch was parsed from within a CFOUTPUT section. This tag is not valid within CFOUTPUT sections. The tags which are valid in this context are:
CFSET
CFIF
CFELSEIF
CFELSE
If you wish to iterate over Cold Fusion tags other than the ones listed above you should use the CFLOOP tag.
-----------
But the documentation insists that this way you can avoid using <cfloop>. I am just trying to understand, I am pretty new to ColdFusion
TIA

Allaire documentation is...lacking in many areas.
I have never, ever used cfswitch. I guess it is just personal preference, but I always check values with <cfif><Cfelse>, etc. Let me know what you are trying to do and maybe I can offer another solution.

You are right, CFIF/CFELSE works just fine. I was playing with the tags in CF 4, but didn't realize that our test server is only 3 - hence the confusion.
