My personal thoughts is that it is better coding practice to only include the CFOutputs where needed, not around the whole page. However, I recently wrote one page that was close to 3500+ lines of code on one page (thankfully a lot of it was branching statements), where using multiple CFOutputs caused more of an issue to debug, than using a single set... So, I doubt there is any hard and fast rule on which is better....

The last bashing revealed little or no benefit to constantly opening and closing CFOUTPUT. Personally I like to wrap the page in CFOUTPUT and be done with it. If I ever had a huge page with mostly static drivel then I might make an exception (but so far it's mostly forms and data). My 2 cents CDN or two bits of dryer lint US ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
