Again, this seems to reflect some common confusion. When you say "I was able to use CFOUTPUT", was that because you wrapped your references to the #error# variables in a CFOUTPUT? As I said in the talk, this leads to a false sense that the CFOUTPUT is being executed. It's not. CF automatically allows display of those #error# variables (like #error.diagnostics#) without any need for CFOUTPUT.
Again, you'll see that the CFOUTPUT is being sent write down to the browser. And of course, if you tried to refer to any other CF variables, they'd just show up in the browser as #whatever#. Only the new style CFERROR TYPE="exception" can process CF variables. For anyone else reading all this who's confused, I recommend you check out the 4-part series of articles I did last year in CFDJ, called "Toward Better Error Handling", which can all be viewed (like all my articles) by way of my web site at http://www.systemanage.com/cff/articles.cfm. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 2:15 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [CFTALKTor] cferror - This is Strange > > > Some tags work though.
