Re: [CFCDev] Weird Line breaks on get() methods

I'd also do:

<cfcomponent output="false">

as well as what Barney suggested.

It's not returning whitespace, the method itself is generating whitespace.
You need to specify output="false" in the CFFUNCTION tag and the CFCOMPONENT
tag.  That will prevent anything from being output by the method.
In general, CFFUNCTION should always have that attribute set.  The only
exception would be if your CFC is designed to generate output (html) for the
client.

Hey all

(Apologies for the cross post to cfaussie, but that list is running like a dog today.. so are all of daemon's servers it seems)

I got a weird one -

If you have:
--- myObj.cfc ---
<cfcomponent>
        <cfscript>
                instance = Structnew();
                instance.myVar = "";
        </cfscript>
        
        <cffunction name="getMyVar" access="public" returntype="string">
                <cfreturn instance.myVar>
        </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
--------------------
and you run:
--- 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 an output of:
--------
     [
                 ]
--------
when you should be getting
--------
     []
--------
i.e. - You have these line breaks in the string, when the string (instance.myVar = "";) doesn't have any line breaks.

Which means when you:

<input type="text" value="#o.getMyVar()#">

will output as

<input type="text" value=" ">

With obvious annoying implications.

I've tried all manner of stripcr(), and trim() to solve this issue, but has anyone else come across this?

I'm totally at a loss.

Thanks in advance.
Mark
