[ cf-dev ] why the hell doesn't this work?

[Ian Westbrook \(FDM\)]

anyone any idea why this doesn't work?   <cfif IsDefined("form.search")> <cfoutput query="allbooks"> <cfelse> <cfoutput query="allbooks" STARTROW="#the_start#" MAXROWS="#records_to_display#"> </cfif> I keep getting the 'extraneous </cfoutput> tag' error from the output's close. All I'm doing is choosing one of the output tags depending on whether a form variable exists or not. If I use either of the output tags straight off, it works fine.   any ideas?   Ian W
