Interaction of CFScript with CFML 249
Interaction of CFScript with CFML
You enclose CFScript regions inside <cfscript> and </cfscript> tags. No other
CFML tags are allowed inside a
cfscript region.
ColdFusion generates an error if a
cfscript tag block does not contain at least one
CFScript statement, and CFScript comments are not considered statements. To
comment out all the contents of a
cfscript tag block, put ColdFusion comment tags
around the entire block, including the
<cfscript> and </cfscript> tags.
You can read and write ColdFusion variables inside CFScript, as this example shows:
<cfoutput query="patients">
<cfscript>
//‘testres' is a column in the "patients" query
if( testres EQ 1 )
result="positive";
else
result="negative";
</cfscript>
<!--- The variable result takes its value from the script region --->
Test for #name# is #result#.<br>
</cfoutput>
