Re: UDF within a Custom Tag

[Mike Chabot]

This thread got me thinking about my code in CFMX 6.1. If I have a cfscript-based UDF inside of a custom tag, and that function is only called in the executionmode="end" block, is it a best-practice to declare that function in the end block, or does it not matter where the fuction is defined inside of the tag? I do not want CF to parse the same function twice, once for the start tag and once for the end tag, if it is only being used by the end tag.

Thank you,
Mike Chabot
