Why does it have to be the whole point of the CFC? Why not just make it the whole point of the method?
-----Original Message----- From: Samuel Neff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Display in CFCs I don't think there's anything wrong with doing display in a CFC as long as that's the whole point of the CFC. Don't mix up database and business logic code with display code. As long as you stick to that, where you put your display code (a custom tag or a cfc) makes no difference.
