It's just an html string.
<cfset myUnOrderedList = "<ul><li>values</li><li>values</li><li>values</li></ul>">
<cfoutput>#myUnOrderedList#</cfoutput>
sounds like there may be a better way to do whatever it is you're doing. what are you trying to accomplish?

Hi Bombboy,
Your solution works great if the unordered list is static. I have created a dynamic unordered list. eg:
<ul><cfoutput query="Myquery"><li>#values#</li></cfoutput></ul>. The above solution generates string " errors. The above file is stored in a external folder but application can include them by including the variable name.Thanks for the solution.

You never said that. 
it would be similar to the way you output it...

Code:
<cfset myUnorderedList = "<ul>">
<cfloop query = "myquery">
<cfset myUnorderedList = myUnorderedList & "<li>" & myQuery.myValue & "</li>">
</cfloop>
<cfset myUnorderedList = myUnorderedList & "</ul>">
<cfoutput>#myunorderedList#</cfoutput>A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
