Can I specifiy a "target" for a Coldfusion template which is inserted from application.cfc

Question

Just wondering (Coldfusion Newbie). I'm on this page, showing an example how to setup a user login/logout in Coldfusion.

Simple question:

If the user is not logged in, the application.cfc inserts a login form.

Question:
Is there any way to set a target where this login form ends up? Some target/selector/anything to make it show up where it's supposed to?

Thanks for infos!

or can I just drop the cffunction and template whereever I want on a page? — frequent, Apr 27 '12 at 23:40

The way that code is set up it doesn't matter where you point it as the cflogin tag will always catch the request and process it. In pseudocode...

if not logged-in (cflogin)
    if not submitting form
        show login form
    else
        process login form

Ok. Got it. In general, do you recommend using cflogin or try coming up with an customized solution? – frequent Apr 28 '12 at 07:51
I started using CF before cflogin was available and have never felt a need to use it. – Dan Roberts Apr 28 '12 at 12:18
Thanks. I'm also trying my first login without CFLOGIN. If you see more login questions popping up, feel free to input :-) – frequent Apr 28 '12 at 12:23
