The book is referring to it being more efficient to wrap <cfoutput> tags around individual variables instead of entire paragraphs that contain one or two variables (or a populated form where the field values contain CF variables, etc). What he's saying is true in most circumstances. The example you're talking about is by design, inefficient. Of course using a <cfoutput> tag within a loop that could be done with a <cfoutput query=""> will be slower. Perhaps that is why Allaire chose to give cfoutput that functionality? As for the book itself, I did not find it particularly interesting, but it could be very useful for someone just getting into CF. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
