Handling Flow Control Using ColdFusion MX

ColdFusion provides several tags that enable you to control how a page is executed. Some of these tags correspond to programming language flow control statements, such as if, then, and else. During the processing of these tags, one or more alternatives are examined and a course of action is taken based on those alternatives. The tags used to control the flow of execution are as follows:

• <CFIF>, <CFELSEIF>, <CEFELSE>

• <CFSWITCH>, <CFCASE>, <CFDEFAULTCASE>

• <CFLOOP>, <CFBREAK>

• <CFABORT>, <CFEXIT>
