I'm changing the properties of the textbox _at runtime_. Let's look at "textbox.cfm", which is just a file that's being imported. Everytime I import "textbox.cfm" on a different template, it looks exactly the same, and there's no way for me to change the way "textbox.cfm" works on one page versus another other than specifying it on the presentation page (i.e. I need to specify app logic on a presentation layer). If you're trying to tier your app, this is a problem. Compare that to using the ASP.NET approach. All you have on the presentation layer is the <asp:textbox id="txtCustomer" runat="server"/>. Then, you can change the way the textbox behaves somewhere else. Thus, your presentation people can change your look and feel with a very small of possible damage to the application. And, you as the app logic person don't have to anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
