Well, I think at the very least you should be able to to output html (anything really) directly from #application.mycfc.mymethod()# where the return value from mycfc.mymethod() is a string value, and have it work on more than the first hit on a given page. Whether that's good form or not is an entirely different story, but I think not being able to is like saying "You can't bring (physically carry) that lamp in here because the walls are beige." So I'd advocate some kind of fix for it -- even if it's not a "best practice". s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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 Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
