Sorry for dropping in on this thread, but what you've said isn't strictly
true.... although a little pedantic, the correct way of specifying colours
in HTML is to put a # in front of the colour code, for example, #FFFFFF or
#99CCFF, so the first output statement that you listed is actually correct,
as the # is being added before the colour code is written to the
page. The result would be <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> OR <tr bgcolor="#99ccff">.
I've used this method in the past ....
<TR BGCOLOR="#<CFIF CurrentRow MOD 2 = 0>FFFFFF<CFELSE>99CCFF</CFIF>">
...., no need for a CFOUTPUT, or to make function calls to IIF or DE.
It would be interesting to see what the processing difference would be,
over a big table, of the single CFIF vs CFOUTPUT, IIF and DE methods. Back
a few years ago when I went through a VB programming stint, I remember that
IIF had a performance overhead, and we were recommended to use it as little
as possible.
