Kind of, though I wouldn't make that comparison. My theory is less than solid here so please someone patch where it is mistaken: When ColdFusion processes a 'page' with a udf (either cffunction or scripted 'function'); the function is parsed and created as an *object* in memory (a special function type object). By 'calling' the function without the () you are actually referencing the object itself rather than invoking the function that it represents. So, the following code just makes the application.udfs.MyFunction1 variable a reference to the function named 'MyFunction1': <cfset application.udfs.MyFunction1 = MyFunction1> Make any sense? > Well if you're bonkers, I'm bonkers too!
