Problem Description:  

CFGRID is bound to a CFC that returns query results.  One of the CFGRIDCOLUMN uses the HREF attribute with one of the columns of the returned query.  This worked fine in CF9, but in CF11 the HREF link is trying to open the literal name of the column, not the value from the query.

Steps to Reproduce:
Here is the code that previously worked. The bind CFC returns a queryConvertForGrid() query that includes itemid and getURL columns.

                        <cfgrid 
                            name="myGrid" 
                            bindOnLoad="yes" 
                            format="html"
                            appendKey="no"
                            pageSize="20"
                            stripeRows="yes"
                            selectMode="edit"
                            selectOnLoad="no"
                            onChange="javascript: checkStatus({cfgridaction},{cfgridrow},{cfgridchanged})"
                            width="1150"
                            bind="cfc:Maintenance.findItems(
                                    itemId={itemId@change},
                                    gridPage={cfgridpage},
                                    gridPageSize={cfgridpagesize},
                                    gridSortColumn={cfgridsortcolumn},
                                    gridSortDirection={cfgridsortdirection}
                                    )" >
                            <cfgridcolumn name="itemId" header="Item ID" dataalign="left" select="no" width="70">                                
                            <cfgridcolumn name="name" header="Name" dataalign="left" select="no" width="300" href="getURL">

Actual Result:
The value of the getURL column returned is "http://myReturnedURL.com", however the link produced in the CFGRIDCOLUMN is actually "{webroot}/getURL"

Expected Result:
The link produced in the CFGRIDCOLUMN should be "http://myReturnedURL.com"


Any Workarounds:
None so far.

I verified that the returned getURL column value is correct by adding a column to the CFGRID. <cfgridcolumn name="getURL" header="MyURL" dataalign="left" select="no" width="300"> This did show that the value was in the returned query as expected.

One additional note. When I add HREFKEY="getURL" to my CFGRIDCOLUMN, it generates the link {webroot}/getURL?CFGRIDKEY=http://myReturnedURL.com So HREFKEY gets the value just fine, but not the HREF attribute.

We are seeing the same issue. Have confirmed that the response coming back from the cfc is correct, but the link goes to ourURL.com/exactlyWhatIsTypedInHREFAttribute.

We are also experiencing this issue; in code that worked in earlier CF versions to generate a mailto: tag from a directory, the variable for the href is no longer evaluated, it just passes the literal name for the variable.
