Charlie said: well, for one...you now have to worry about doubling up on # signs everywhere (yes, yes, i know..i'm referring to # in hex color declarations but the presentation layer should be seperate anyway :P)...
i would also think (assume?) that the larger the block of text between <cfoutput> tags, the more the cf engine has to parse...the less efficient the page execution overall. and I say ;-): If you use CSS then the # doubling goes away (excpet for the occasional image map or internal page anchor). It was been proven time and time again (everytime this thread shows up) that the performance hit due to extra parsing is negligable (a few milliseconds) or non-existent (since CF 5). Your code is then cleaner and easier to read....less possible points of failure due to missing CFOUTPUTs. To me it's a no brainer....I've done it this way for as long as I can remember (and I've been at it since 3.1) .....but of course...each to their own...whatever floats your boat ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
