Why do you consider top and bottom cfoutputs a 'silly' thing? - Calvin
-----Original Message----- From: Adam Haskell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 11:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Few cfoutput Vs Many cfoutput I agree top and bottum cf outputs could be as equally as silly. My point was more to the fact I would rather that to cfoutputs littered everywhere. I also don;t see how that could compile any faster...noticable or not.
