I have a cfc that will generate some html to be displayed inline. I was just going to reuturn a string rather than have it output directly. Is this the proper way to do that?
I've been struggling to draw a clear line between the usage of CFCs and Custom Tags, but one general trend I see developers practicing seems to be to put "display code for reuse" in Custom Tags rather than in CFCs. For example, I have a Custom Tag that can spit out either a printable HTML invoice or the same invoice in PDF--and customize contents of the invoice based on user input. The same logic can very well be encapsulated in a CFC instead, but the Custom Tag is better for black-box processing like this one. It's hard to tell without knowing more of your situation, but just thought I'd share the thought. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
