I almost never use the line debugger. Never liked 'em. And if you ask me that is the one feature that really makes this product great, most people don't use the debugger and I am at a loss to why.

And one last thing, 90% of these bugs had been reported during the Alpha/Beta stages of ColdFusion Builder so you can see they have been in the product and reported well before it was released. > -- > Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN > Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- > http://corfield.org/ > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341501 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
