Speaking of BD, how does it handle the CFPROCESSINGDIRECTIVE issue? My opinion is that the "proper" handling would be that CFFUNCTION OUTPUT="TRUE" is treated exactly the same as CFOUTPUT, and therefore would be outputted even inside CFPROCESSINGDIRECTIVE, rather than CF's behaviour.
Along these lines, anyone have a clever idea to differentiate the CFMX language from it's different implementations (MM's ColdFusion MX, NA's BlueDragon, perhaps others)? So when making statements like these it can be clear whether it's a language features/bug or a implementation feature/bug. Not that there is a formal language spec, though that would be nice. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean A Corfield > Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 12:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [CFCDev] OUTPUT="false", WAS: RFC, CFC Best Practices > > On Mar 16, 2004, at 10:35 AM, Barney Boisvert wrote: > > To add the to OUTPUT dilemma, keep in mind that it's a three-way > > attribute, not a boolean, and has some other werid quirks: > > > > - if missing, the function body will be output (according to the > > rules of your application) with no modifications. > > - if TRUE, the function body will be output (according to > the rules > > of your application with hashes rendered as if inside a > CFOUTPUT tag. > > - if FALSE, the function body will emit no content > > This is true in CFMX but not in BlueDragon - BD treats the "missing" > case just like the "false" case (which I actually think makes more > sense).
