Ok, I see what you mean...it really comes down to CF's lack of event's then, not CF's lack of ability to separate UI from logic. If you count Flash as CF's UI layer though...an argument could be made that it does have events though. CF > Flash > Event > Web Service > CF > Flash > UI change...whew :)
I'm all for CF getting an event model...and for going full OO too, but that may be some time in coming. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, July 17, 2003, 2:52:17 PM, you wrote: ksc> No, actually with your model (and Jon's) this is somewhat possible (it'd be somehat annoying to differentiate between two textboxes on the same page, for instance). ksc> What I'm saying is that there's no way for CF to change the textbox after the user requests a page and CF sees the tag and renders it (since in CF, this is one action) but before it delivers it ksc> to the user. ksc> Actually, this might be possible. You'd have to somehow get the stream from the underlying page renderer, and modify it. Or you could somehow override when CF sees a tag. Yikes.

Not sure how you'd be able to do this in CF, without having something on the presentation layer to specify where the control belongs (and even ksc> then, you'd only ever be able to place the control there). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
