History
ColdFusion MX: Changed placement requirements: this tag does not have to follow all cfcase tags in the cfswitch tag body.
Usage
The contents of the cfdefaultcase tag body executes if the expression attribute of the cfswitch tag does not match any of the values specified by the cfcase tags in the cfswitch tag body. The contents of the cfdefaultcase tag body can include HTML and text, and CFML tags, functions, variables, and expressions.
You can specify only one cfdefaultcase tag within a cfswitch tag. You can put the cfdefaultcase tag at any position within a cfswitch statement; it is not required to be the last item, but it is good programming practice to put it last.
