I have become a fan of the WriteOutput() function. For your example below, you can do <cfset WriteOutput(this)>. I like it because it's quicker to type than a pair cfoutput tags, and it is easier to read and write (and perhaps more efficient to execute) when you just need to output one little thing in the middle of a bunch of HTML.
I'm sure one can still find a language with shorter syntax than the <cfset WriteOutput(this)> but it's not too bad. Of course, one could always build a UDF with a shorter name :) Mike Mertsock Alfred University Web Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
