ColdFusion is another way to dynamically serve pages. When a browser requests a ColdFusion page from a server, the server passes the page to the ColdFusion Server software, which interprets the scripts on the page and sends the resulting HTML to the requesting browser. For more information on ColdFusion, see the ColdFusion product page, as described in HTML and Web technologies resources.
Dreamweaver recognizes about fifty ColdFusion tags; see the ColdFusion.xml file in the Configuration/ThirdPartyTags folder for details. If View > Invisible Elements is selected, Dreamweaver displays a ColdFusion icon in the Document window to mark the location of ColdFusion tags for which RENDER_CONTENTS is set to FALSE (in ColdFusion.xml).
