i like the cake php syntax in cases where lots of attributes have to be passed dynamically (class, id, rel, onclick, ...) this is a mess if you try to do that with plain html
but for simply <div> blocks it would be overhead to do this with helper syntax so there is no right or wrong. simply use the way that is most appropriate for the specific scenario you can usually forget about the speed - thats totally overrated compared to other more important aspects as readability, extendability and the dry principle On 17 Mai, 20:13, Jeremy Burns | Class Outfit <[email protected]> wrote: > I went through this debate a while back and settled on using raw HTML in most > cases.
