Thanks Lee, I had a feeling that would be a response - I'm not doing it in all cases, just some where it's nice and neat. But then there are some instances where an instance var is required and some where it's not, which could be confusing if it's not documented in the FuseDoc. So probably it would be better if I just didn't do it at all. Oh well.
I'm writing FuseDocs for a non-CF coder at the moment, so I'm trying to document everything properly, and not rely on any assumptions because it's already evident that the coder's assumptions are generally different from mine. It's a humbling experience :) Thanks again, K. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lee Borkman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, 9 June 2002 5:53 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: best practices: XFA's > > > Hi Kay, > > Are you asking whether it's the done thing to include > instance variables (like your objectID) in the XFA value? > > Well, it works, sure, but it's not something I do.
