>>One common reason is simplification - it's just easier to work with a module that does one thing. You immediately know where to go to change how that one thing works, for example.
Right, and this applies particularily well to putting any header HTML code in Application.cfm ;-) >>For example, a coworker had to add support for RSS and mobile devices to a huge site last week. He was able to do it very quickly, because all he had to do was write a separate set of display code. He didn't have to worry about how it would affect the existing display code or the business logic of the application. May be, but on the other hand, when someone will have to modify something common to the whole application, he will have to look for all the places some different header can be used. I don't mean that everything should be put everytime in Application.cfm. I'm just against this kind of rule that states "this is THE best practice, period!". A "best practice" is just like "the best tool": it depends what you have to do with it. I do use index.cfm?action= type of coding, I also use CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="header.cfm", I also put some HTML sometimes in Application.cfm, it depends what I think is the best depending on the situation, I do not work one hand on the keyboard, and a bible in the other hand :-) -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
