hmm. well I don't know where to find that and I don't see anything for "enablecfoutputonly". But because of what you've said, I wrapped that part in a set of cfoutput tags and they now appears. Still I don't understand. I have beginning rss tags above the cfoutput code that displays in the file fine. It's just the stuff below the cfoutput code that doesn't. Not that I need to understand, but I would prefer to. <cfsavecontent variable="xml"><?xml version="1.0" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Health and Human Performance - What's New</title> <description>This is the University of Maryland's College of Health and Human Performance list of What's new items.</description> <link>http://hhp.umd.edu</link> <cfoutput query="retrieve_xml"> <cfset desc_length = 400> <CFIF LEN(description) gt desc_length> <CFSET desc = LEFT(description,desc_length)> <cfset desc = ListDeleteAt(desc, ListLen(desc, " "), " ")> <!--- deletes to the last full word ---> <cfset desc = desc & "..."> <cfelse> <CFSET desc = description> </CFIF> <CF_RENoTags input="#desc#" variable="desc" > <cfset the_header = header> <CF_RENoTags input="#header#" variable="the_header" > <item> <title>#the_header#</title> <description>#desc#</description> <link>http://hhp.umd.edu/whats_new.cfm?id=#id#</link> </item> </cfoutput> <cfoutput> </channel> </rss> </cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> <cffile action="write" file="#CurrentDir#rss/whats_new.xml" output="#xml#" addnewline="no"> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:226815 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
