| History
ColdFusion MX: Added the ability to construct dynamic cfcol statements.
|
|
| Usage
At least one cfcol tag is required within the cftable tag. You must put cfcol and cftable tags adjacent in a page. The only tag that you can nest within the cftable tag is the cfcol tag. You cannot nest cftable tags. To display the cfcol header text, you must specify the cfcol header and the cftable colHeader attribute. If you specify either attribute without the other, the header does not display. No error is thrown. |

Example<!--- This example shows the use of cfcol and cftable to align
information returned from a query. --->
<!--- query selects information from cfdocexamples data source. --->
<cfquery name = "GetEmployees" dataSource = "cfdocexamples">
SELECT Emp_ID, FirstName, LastName, EMail, Phone, Department
FROM Employees
</cfquery>
<html>
<body>
<h3>cfcol Example</h3>
<!--- Uses the HTMLTable attribute to display cftable as an HTML
table, rather than PRE formatted information --->
<cftable
query = "GetEmployees"
startRow = "1" colSpacing = "3"
HTMLTable colheaders>
<!--- Each cfcol tag sets the width of a column in the table,
the header information, and the text/CFML for the cell. --->
<cfcol header = "<b>ID</b>"
align = "Left"
width = 2
text = "#Emp_ID#">
<cfcol header = "<b>Name/Email</b>"
align = "Left"
width = 15
text = "<a href = 'mailto:#Email#'>#FirstName# #LastName#</A>">
<cfcol header = "<b>Phone Number</b>"
align = "Center"
width = 15
text = "#Phone#">
</cftable>
