because that is shorthand for a matched ending tag that can have text inside it
<cfmodule template="foo.cfm" /> is the equivalent of <cfmodule template="foo.cfm"> </cfmodule> This is standard and common , esp for the XML and XHTML people out there. That means that unless you've wrapped your custom tag's code with logic to catch when the execution mode is "start" versus "end", then the code will get run twice : once when the beginning of the tag is encountered and once when the ending of the tag is encountered you likely want to use something like: <cfif thisTag.ExecutionMode is 'start'> ...etc to restrict the execution to only occuring once ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taco Fleur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2003 4:48 AM Subject: Re: Routines cannot be declared more than once.
