cfdocument and dynamic data

[PamG-EApboS]

I've been coding in CF for quite a while but have never used <cfdocument>. The CF app that I've built is used primarily for creating customized reports against a corporate database. The user defines the desired report output; a SQL query is generated dynamically, and the report output is created dynamically. I tried wrapping <cfdocument> around the output code, but the browser hangs when I execute a report. Can <cfdocument> handle non-static output? If not, is there a way pass the output to <cfdocument> in straight HTML? Please point me in the right direction!

Thanks! Pam

cfdocument basically takes a PDF or Flash "snapshot" of the content currently in the tag. To make documents from dynamic output, you would have to take a series of snapshots, for example, by means of a loop. However, Coldfusion will not return any HTML or CFML code outside the <cfdocument></cfdocument> tag pair. Hence, one solution is to gather your dynamic content as one snapshot.

An example:

Thanks much for the information! Hmmm ... John / George / Paul / Ringo ... you must be as old as me!
