I can't agree with the statement "goes without saying" as too often I have to say it. I have seen so many bad implementations of CFC that clobber variables left right and centre that it really annoys me and , disappointingly it is allowed in the language.
I have taken over projects that I have cringed a the code because of really bad practises and some really dumb thing being done in CFCs so I tend to be of the opinion that it is always better to repeat it . But yes, more so for new programmers so that they get into good habits Cheers, Simon On 04/06/07, Andrew Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Simon CFC's go without saying, as there will be problems if you do not > scope variables with the var scope anyway. just an FYI to any new > developers. > > > On 6/4/07, Simon Haddon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi Grant, > > > > The choice is really down to your programming style.
