The original question was "Trying to write a function that performs a query based on specific arguments then outputs a select box based upon the query results as well as some of the other arguments." All this in one function means it's not n-tier or MVC. >Agreed, but if you recall, I never really answered the person's >question, but instead took issue with responses to it.

My response "CFC's, and especially web services, are generally considered to be used for data access or business logic, not for any type of display." is what you responded to. So, where is the incorrect information? That CFC's are "generally considered" to be used for data access/business tier? That is true, they are mostly used for that. Never said they can't be used for display--even provided details on how to do it later on in the same post--just said they usually aren't.
