The other day, I was trying to think of ten (10) ColdFusion tags I couldn't live without. When I sat down to write out a few, I couldn't stop writing! Eventually, I "narrowed" the list down to fifty (50) tags. Obviously, there are many, many more that I use and would be much less productive without, but I had to draw the line somewhere. Also, in order to qualify for the list, the tags had to be actual "CF" tags. In other words, they needed to begin with "<CF" otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for me to narrow it down.
If anything, this was an exercise in recognizing how easy ColdFusion makes creating dynamic, rich internet applications. Simply use any of the tags below with very few attributes, and viola! It's as if ColdFusion is an "Easy-Bake Oven" and the tags themselves are merely the recipes!
So without further adieu ...
My Top 50 ColdFusion CFTags:
