Massimo, As I said, it appeared to resolve an issue. I believe it was an issue where an extraneous </cfif> was inserted in a very specific code sequence. But then again, I may have also removed the Translators near the same time.
I don't recall any side effects that impacted anything I did with DWMX as it regards handcoding. The conversation was on CF code specifically. Not trying to save the world here, just trying to lend a hand. Again, removing the Translators and Behaviors could resolve the issue that started this thread, and that is helpful if someone has no use for those features that do violate Code Trust. My thoughts are that it is a good thing to discuss these things, specifically in a forum that MM folks are attentive to, so that they can see where the needs for improvement for development tools support for their application servers are at. Knowledge and idea sharing are also good things :) - Calvin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Massimo Foti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 5:07 AM Subject: Re: Dreamweaver MX adding random code > > Have you actually tested removing the Translators and Behaviors, and then > > attempted to recreate some of these issues? > > Yes I did and I tried to push it pretty hard for a few days.
