Yep and there are some exceptions to tags as well.
For example <cfoutput query="queryName"> </cfoutput> Notice no #'s as the tag will evaluate the variable -- Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

One thing that I keep tripping over is how to handle variables. I'm forever forgetting the goofy ## bits around them. But it just occurred to me that is (or might be) a simple way for me to remember. ## goes around variables passed by value. Variables passed by reference have no ##. Is this correct? Or am I just going to confuse myself more by thinking this way? -- Try advertising on the new Australian Business Directory www.clickfind.com.au blog: http://australiansearchengine.wordpress.com/ Web Designers > http://www.web-designers-australia.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
