For what reason? I've jumped in mid-thread here, but I'm really keen to get some good nitty-gritty low-down on the pros/cons/appropriate contexts for custom tags/UDFs/CFCs. I've had access to CF5 for a while, but most of my clients have been stuck on CF4.5 hosts, so I've not really got into the habit of UDFs. Now MX and CFCs are here, I feel I should dive into the whole lot knowing the practical differences and arguments for each method. You mentioned typing the extra reference for CFCs (i.e. myCFC.isEmail(...) as opposed to isEmail() for a UDF). Beyond that - which is obviously down to the kind of personal preference that's not worth debating - why would a CFC set of methods as opposed to a UDF library be not "bad per se, just maybe not appropriate"? What's the "not appropriate" bit, in performance/architecture terms, not personal preference/coding style terms? - Gyrus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
