    Typically, adding links like that do not involve the serverside language at all. It is usually just HTML and JS. Take a look at Facebook's Like Button creator

    If you are trying to create them dynamically then that is a different story and you would need to provide some more detail on what you are trying to do.

    I saw that earlier, but I need them to be created dynamically.

    I have an index.cfm page that has links to multiple stories, when you click on a story, I want the tags to be referencing that particular story.

    Thanks.

    Is that really what you feel is more detail?

    What are these "stroies"? Do you have URLs for them? If so, then you may just need to replace the URL and other appropriate code in the code generated by the Facebook like button creator.

    Have you done dynamic development at all? Are you familiar with <cfoutput>, variables, etc? Where is your data coming from? Is the app DB driven?  What have you tried so far? Do you have any examples of your content? Existing code?

    We cannot build your app for you. You can't just throw a one-sentence spec on a forum and expect a good answer.

    anchor tags?

    or is there more to this question than meets the eye.

    Hi Dan,

    No there is not more to it than meets the eyes, anchor tags are what I am after. It's most likely a very simple process, but having never seen coldfusion code before and not having the ability to test the page on my current setup, I wanted to make sure I was approaching the situation in the right way.
