Neat Trick With ValueList()
Posted September 6, 2006 at 6:06 PM
This is just a quick little trick for outputting a list of items with proper spacing. You can use ColdFusion ValueList() using a delimiter that has both a comma AND a space in it: ", ". While this is not really a valid delimiter, which is defined as one character, the ValueList() method will still use both characters when creating the delimited list. Now, you have a nicely spaced list.

- Tags: #ValueList( qTags.name, ", " )#

I love CF's list functions. :)
Of course, for the other sort of lists, you can also do this:
<ul><li>#ValueList( qTags.name, "</li><li>" )#</li></ul>
which has come in handy for me on a couple of occasions.
