Chapter 9: Creating and Using Custom CFML Tags
The following table summarizes
cfexit
behavior:
Nesting custom tags
A custom tag can call other custom tags from within it’s body text, thereby
nesting
tags.
ColdFusion uses nested tags such as
cfgraph
and
cfgraphdata
,
cfhttp
and
cfhttpparam
, and
cftree
and
cftreeitem
. The ability to nest tags allows you to provide similar functionality.
The following example shows a
cftreeitem
tag nested within a
cftree
tag:
<cftree name="tree1"
required="Yes"
hscroll="No">
<cftreeitem value=fullname
query="engquery"
queryasroot="Yes"
img="folder,document">
</cftree>
The calling tag is known as an
ancestor
,
parent
, or
base
tag, while the tags that ancestor tags call are
known as
descendant
,
child
, or
sub
tags. Together, the ancestor and all descendant tags are called
collaborating
tags.
In order to nest tags, the parent tag must have a closing tag.
The following table lists the terms that describe the relationships between nested tags:
You can create multiple levels of nested tags. In this case, the sub tag becomes the base tag for its
own sub tags. Any tag with an end tag present can be an ancestor to another tag.

the calling tag
Description
Ancestor
Descendant
An ancestor is any tag that contains other tags between its start
and end tags. A descendant is any tag called by a tag.
Parent
Child
Parent and child are synonyms for ancestor and descendant.
Base tag
Sub tag
A base tag is an ancestor that you explicitly associate with a
descendant, called a sub tag, with
cfassociate
.
