Hi Mark,
This is a whitespace issue in coldfusion - but luckily CFC's provide a nice
way to deal with it - add output="false" to your cffunction declaration.
eg:
<cffunction name="getMyVar" access="public" returntype="string"
output="false">
<cfreturn instance.myVar>
</cffunction>
In almost all situations it is worth setting output to false - the only
reason that you wouldn't is if you are debugging your cfc's and want to see
output from a CFC or if you have a CFC that outputs html directly.

Please respond to "CFAussie

Just to further this one on -
I did a small test harness for this - and yeah, i'm not going nuts:
Watch what happens when:
--- myObj.cfc ---
<cfcomponent>
<cfscript>
instance = Structnew();
instance.myVar = "";
</cfscript>
<cffunction name="getMyVar" access="public"
returntype="string">
<cfreturn instance.myVar>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
-----------------
--- index.cfm ---
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<cfscript>
o = createObject("component", "myObj");
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
<pre>
[#o.getMyVar()#]
</cfoutput>
</pre>
</body>
</html>
-----------------
You end up with
[
]
Is this some weird bug I'm not aware of?
TIA
Mark
