<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I was wondering if there was a way to change the status of selected in the CFLAYOUT tag.<br />
im using the tabs for office locations - each tab is a different location.<br />
The end user wants to be able to click on a location from a different page that will take them to the office locations page and the location they have clicked on will be the tab that is shown as selected.<br />
<br />
i tried the following but could not get anything to work<br />
&lt;cfif IsDefined(&quot;URL.location&quot;) AND #URL.location# EQ &quot;belfast&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;cflayoutarea name=&quot;Belfast&quot; title=&quot;Belfast&quot; selected=&quot;true&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;cfelse&gt;<br />
&lt;cflayoutarea name=&quot;Belfast&quot; title=&quot;Belfast&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;/cfif<br />
<br />
i also tried putting the if around the selected part of CFLAYOUT<br />
&lt;cflayoutarea name=&quot;Belfast&quot; title=&quot;Belfast&quot; &lt;cfif IsDefined(&quot;URL.location&quot;) AND #URL.location# EQ &quot;belfast&quot;&gt;selected=&quot;true&quot;&lt;<wbr />/cfif&gt;&gt;<br />
<br />
but each one kept throwing back errors and would not work, so if anyone could help that would be great

Dynamically change status of selected in CFLAYOUT tag

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.

Web Development Software

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
