I personally have a tendency to use Listing 1's format more often than I use
the one in Listing 2.  The only difference is that I put in my table tags
BEFORE my CFOUTPUT tags, that way if I'm looping through a query's results,
I don't have a new table being created for each record.  :)

Subject: Correctly using CFOUTPUT


Hi, I've always been curious about this. What is the correct way? Does it
matter?

Listing 1:

<CFOUTPUT>
<TABLE>
        <TR>
                <TD>#var1#</TD>
        </TR>
        <TR>
                <TD>#var2#</TD>
        </TR>
</TABLE>
</CFOUTPUT>

Listing 2:

<TABLE>
        <TR>
                <TD><CFOUTPUT>#var1#</CFOUTPUT></TD>
        </TR>
        <TR>
                <TD><CFOUTPUT>#var2#</CFOUTPUT></TD>
        </TR>
</TABLE>

Is there an unwritten rule; if there are more than 4 (or ?) vars in a page
Listing 1 is a good way to do it else Listing 2 is recommended? I'm assuming
when using <CFOUTPUT QUERY="q1"></CFOUTPUT> Listing 1 would always be
applicable.

Thanks for any help!
