J4MIE, you can nest CFOUTPUT if you use the GROUP attribute:

select * from employees

#company_code#: #currentrow#, #recordcount#

#first_name# #last_name#: #currentrow#, #recordcount#

I am hoping that you can answer my question. I am using cfmail to send form data to an e-mail. The proces works great. The problem is in the format of the data. In my form, I have a textarea with the WRAP set to "hard". When cfmail e-mails the textarea, the text is formatted correctly, but when I use cfoutput to display what was sent, the field is displayed all on one line. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim

You can't nest tags but within one you can do a loop through the query:

#var#

Nested cfoutput blocks:
can you nest cfoutput blocks with different queries
for instance
outer query: pending order
inner query: articles ordered for this order
or do you have to join the data in a single query and use grouping?

Here is a nested cfoutput example:

SELECT Emp_ID, firstname, lastname, e.dept_id, salary, d.dept_name
FROM employee e, departmt d
WHERE e.dept_id = d.dept_id
ORDER BY d.dept_name

#dept_name#

Employee	Salary
#empSalary.lastname#, #empSalary.firstname#	#DollarFormat(empSalary.salary)#
Total	#DollarFormat(deptTotal)#

I agree that the example for groups MUST have nested cfoutput tags to
display the information that is nested within the group sets.

I suggest that you consider expanding the example to demonstrate nested CFOUTPUT tags.

We are working to improve the examples in the ColdFusion reference pages. We propose to replace the current example on this page with the the following example. If you have any comments on this example, add them to this page.

SELECT Dept_ID, CorName, CorLevel
FROM courseList
ORDER by Dept_ID, CorLevel, CorName

cfoutput Example

cfoutput tells ColdFusion Server to begin processing, and then to hand back control of page rendering to the web server.

For example, to show today's date, you could write #DateFormat("#Now()#"). If you enclosed that expression in cfoutput, the result would be#DateFormat(Now())#.

In addition, cfoutput may be used to show the results of a query operation, or only a partial result, as shown:

There are #getCourses.recordCount# total records in our query. Using the maxRows parameter, we are limiting our display to 4 rows.

#Dept_ID# #CorName# #CorLevel#

The next example uses the group attribute to eliminate duplicate lines from a list of course levels taught in each department.

SELECT Dept_ID, CorLevel FROM courseList ORDER by Dept_ID, CorLevel

#Dept_ID# #CorLevel#

cfoutput can also show the results of a more complex expression,
such as getting the day of the week from today's date. We first
extract the integer representing the Day of the Week from
the server function Now() and then apply the result to
the DayofWeekAsString function:

Today is #DayofWeekAsString(DayofWeek(Now()))#

Today is #DayofWeekAsString(DayofWeek(Now()))#
