cfcontent is not designed for what you're trying to do. There's a simple HTML tag that does it:

<img src="image/image.jpg">

i think this is not an good idea, since all my image need secure display,
that's why i use cfcontent, but since i need some information display on above
the images. that's why i need a method to solve this problem...

If that's the case, you could do the following:

<img src="image/getImageSecurely.cfm?name=image.jpg">

Then have image/getImageSecurely.cfm check user credentials, then do <cfcontent ...>

Well it is (if you followed another thread about this somewhere).

<img src="someCfmFile.cfm" />

Where someCfmFile.cfm contains the <cfcontent> tag to return the image
data.

If he had said what he said in his reply in the original message, then yes, I
agree. Based on his original post, it said nothing about a requirement that
necessitated the use of cfcontent. Therefore, knowing what we know now, yes my
original post was wrong. And don't be patronizing, please. I know full well
what cfcontent can be used for, as reflected by my reply to his clarification.

Sorry, don't see what's patronising about my post, but I know how things
can come across incorrectly in written text.

Sorry you took offence: none was intended.

I took your comment: "(if you followed another thread about this somewhere)" as
being patronizing, but as you said, it's easy for things to come across
incorrectly (read: misinterpreted) in written text.

I apologize as well for reading into your post. No harm done.

I have a <cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel"> tag on a web page. When I
go to the page, it does not bring up an excel spread sheet. Instead it it
brings up an open save dialog. When I click open or save, an error box pops up
saying that the file cannot be downloaded.

What could be causing this?

Thanks,
Ken

There might be an error on the page. Try removing the <cfcontent> tag and making sure the page displays as you expect (except for being in HTML format instead of an excel file).
