Unfortunately, that's how it works. Every custom tag instance gets an output stream (thistag.generatedContent) that it outputs to, and then after the end tag is done, the contents of that variable are injected into the parent's output stream. What happens is that when the text is written to the output stream, it goes through a filter and if ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY is set true and the content isn't inside a CFOUTPUT, then the it doesn't actually get written to the stream. It's kind of weird how it all works, and the nitty gritty is very nitty and gritty, but it's just the way things work, and it's probably not going to change.
If you're really concerned, you might be able to use CFSETTING inside a custom CFSAVECONTENT (untested code): <cfif thistag.executionMode EQ "start"> <cfparam name="attributes.variable" type="string" /> <cfsetting enablecfoutputout="false" /> <cfelse> <cfsetting enablecfoutputout="true" /> <cfset caller[attributes.variable] = thistag.generatedContent /> <cfset thistag.generatedContent = "" /> </cfif> Of course, that's not going to consider the case where ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY is not enabled, but you can probably figure out a way to deal with that (do a test CFSAVECONTENT and see if it works). cheers, barneyb On 1/19/06, Russ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well with cfsavecontent I'm not asking it to output to the html stream, just > into a variable. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 3:07 PM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: Re: cfsavecontent bug? > > > > CFMAIL never gets to the stage where you can have CFSETTING > > ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY affect it, since the body of the tag is never > > output to the HTML stream.
