| Parameter | Description |

caseSensitive |
Determines how ColdFusion processes the case of XML document object component identifiers
|
An XML document object is represented in ColdFusion as a structure.
The caseSensitive attribute value determines whether identifiers whose characters are of varying case, but are otherwise the same, refer to different components. For example:
caseSensitive = "no", the names mydoc.employee.name[1] and mydoc.employee.NAME[1] refer to the same elementcaseSensitive = "yes", these names refer to two distinct elementsThe following example creates and displays a ColdFusion document object. For more information on this example, see Using XML and WDDX in Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
<cfset testVar = True>
<cfscript>
MyDoc = XmlNew();
MyDoc.xmlRoot = XmlElemNew(MyDoc,"MyRoot");
if (testVar IS TRUE)
MyDoc.MyRoot.XmlText = "The value of testVar is True.";
else
MyDoc.MyRoot.XmlText = "The value of testVar is False.";
for (i = 1; i LTE 4; i = i + 1)
{
MyDoc.MyRoot.XmlChildren[i] = XmlElemNew(MyDoc,"childNode");
MyDoc.MyRoot.XmlChildren[i].XmlText = "This is Child node " & i &".";
}
</cfscript>
