Part of the problem is that cfscript was always a second class citizen. It wasn't capable enough to be useful. Finally Adobe decided to overhaul it and the CFML Advisory Committee were mostly(!) unanimous that cfscript should become a full, usable server-side language. Yes, it's a stylistic preference but for a lot of people it finally makes "CFML" into a real language - so don't underplay it :) Having to still have tags in an otherwise all-script file is a wart. The language should never have allowed tags and script to be mixed IMO. Files should be all tags or all script. CFML is really _two_ languages now, not one... -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- official tag/function reference: http://openbd.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
