398 Chapter 2: ColdFusion Tags

Usage

The cfsetting requestTimeout attribute replaces the use of requestTimeOut within a URL.

To enforce a page timeout, detect the URL variable and use code such as the following to change

the page timeout:

You can use this tag to manage whitespace in ColdFusion output pages.

If you nest

cfsetting tags: to make HTML output visible, you must match each

enableCFoutputOnly = "Yes" statement with an enableCFoutputOnly = "No" statement. For

example, after five

enableCFoutputOnly = "Yes" statements, to enable HTML output, you

must have five corresponding

enableCFoutputOnly = "No" statements.

If HTML output is enabled (no matter how many

enableCFoutputOnly = "No" statements

have been processed) the first

enableCFoutputOnly = "Yes" statement blocks output.

If the debugging service is enabled and

showDebugOutput =" Yes", the IsDebugMode function

returns Yes; otherwise, No.

Note: Releases after ColdFusion MX allow a </cfsetting> end tag; however, this end tag does not

affect processing. The

cfsetting attributes affect code inside and outside the cfsetting tag body.

ColdFusion MX ignored code between

cfsetting start and end tags.

Example

<p>CFSETTING is used to control the output of HTML code in ColdFusion pages.

This tag can be used to minimize the amount of generated whitespace.
