cf_LESSwhitespace works a treat on cfm files - i use it on all files going
up to the test server - it was cf_STRIPwhitespace that messed with the
<SCRIPT>...
And while confusing variable names is great ;), the point about switching
them for UUID's was something I envisage doing _after_ development, at the
same time as ripping white space and encryption. ie the source remains
maitainable, but what you ship isn't...
Cheers

ps give me a shout when you've written a <SCRIPT> friendly version of
<cf_STRIPwhitespace> for use on .cfm templates, and while you're at it, you
could add a feature which removes all CFM and HTM comments....an encrypted,
one line file with no comments and meaningless variable names - should be
fairly safe...
You could even UUID your filenames... :|
