KEY_CONCEPT we want to create a instant feedback loop (WORKING STRUCTURE) as fast as possible, in this case by submitting a form and seeing the result immediately.

Picking up where we left off, we need to create a custom tag that allows us to quickly create an HTML textarea. This custom tag will have both opening and closing tags, and we will add content to the “body” of the tag, thus adding that content to the textarea.

We can see our custom tag page, with our previously noted variable called name. Below our tag code we see the code to invoke it. We also see that in the inputs to our tag, we refer to variables defined in a META_DATA_STRUCT structure, which we want to see as above our tag invocation. We are storing these variables “up in the cloud” with friendly names we can easily recall.

<cfimport prefix="cimblog"		taglib="./cf_tags">          

<cfset name                             = "CIMBlogUITextAreaElement" />

<cfoutput>

        <cfif thisTag.executionMode eq "start"  AND attributes.STATE eq "ACTIVE">
                <textarea spellcheck="true" name="#attributes.ELEMENT_NAME#" id="#attributes.ELEMENT_NAME#" class="#attributes.CLASS#">
        <cfelse>

                </textarea>
        </cfif>

</cfoutput>
