If that is what you are looking for, then what you are talking about would be a custom tag. CFC's are only available during the call to one of it's functions and cannot be <cfincluded> as a custom tag. There is nothing stopping you from using the old way of combining logic and presentation though in a regular cfm file.

Hi all, I've been using CFC's for a short while now and I'm really liking them. I can really speed up developments now by reusing code. Thing is I know I'm not supposed to put any presentation stuff in them. But say for example I had a poll cfc. I can run all of the actions through the CFC fine, but why not add some optional basic html (i.e. form & results) so that if wanted, the whole poll could be encapsulated within the one file and in theory could be added to any site with just a couple of lines of code. If the basic form & results didn't suit I could then go for a tailored option for the sites that needed it but all would still be based on the one cfc. So would this a bad thing and why? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
