from placing anything in application.cfm that must be rendered as
output. use the application.cfm file for setting variables, and
getting your application fired up. thats all. use custom tags or
whatever else you would like for display/meta tag information.
why make the cf server parse through all that html display crap, for
EVERY PAGE request? unnecessary overhead. i can say this tho' in the
defence of newbies on the list, i think i, as well as a buncha people
around here, probably had that thought cross your mind at least
once...
"Heck, i can make my header/footer show up in every page if i throw it
into the application.cfm file, since its run every time a request is
made"
then i was told, and now its just bad practice and i never did it again :)
