Both return a space, you just don't see the second space becuase you assign the result to a variable. Actually, this is what happens:
You call test() A space is generated A string is returned and saved to A You output A. So the space is just moved. To fix this issue, just add output=false to your cffunction tag. ======================================================================== === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Darron J.
