I'm chiming in here too. I agree with Gary. Its always puzzled me why the cfc advocates have had this morbid aversion to having cfcs produce html output. I understand, as Gary states, that business logic cfcs shouldn't have html output, but its boggled my mind why having a separate set of ui cfcs that produce the output html was seen as such a 'bad thing'. Its always seemed to me that someone, somewhere has grossly simplified the problem of putting html output in with your business logic, and in an effort to make explanation easier, instead of saying 'have a set of business logic cfcs and a set of ui cfcs, and never mix the two', they just chose to make the assumption that the best place for business logic is in cfcs, so if we just say that output html shouldn't be in cfcs then the two won't ever be mixed by the uninitiated.
