Use <CFSCRIPT></CFSCRIPT> in conjunction with <CFSETTING>
CFSCRIPT will cancel ALL output... even that inside of <CFOUTPUT> tags. So
I suggest this configuration (tried and testing in CF pages that send info
to MM Generator.. one of the pickiest White Space haters on the planet).
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<CFscript>
[all kinds of stuff here, building one string]
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>#thestring#</cfoutput>

|Subject: EnableCFoutputOnly not cutting the mustard in Custom Tag
|
|
|I've got a custom tag which returns a small string, but I can't get
|rid of the extra spaces around the string when it's called. This has
|screwed me up several times, and I haven't found a solution yet.
|EnableCFoutputOnly gets rid of most of the garbage whitespace, but it
|leaves a space to the left and right of the desired output string.
|
|####### Custom Tag ########
|<cfsetting enableCFoutputOnly="yes">
|<cfscript>
|FinalValue = result_of_a_bunch_of_processing;
|writeOutput(FinalValue);
|</cfscript>
|<cfsetting enableCFoutputOnly="no"
|
|####### Calling Script ########
|FinalValue = "<cf_MyCustomTag>"
|
|###### Results in Browser ######
|FinalValue = " result_of_a_bunch_of_processing "
|
|But, I would like to see:
|FinalValue = "result_of_a_bunch_of_processing"
|
|See those spaces that show up? What's causing them? How do I get rid
|of them?
|
|Obviously there are workarounds, such as:
|*Send the string back to the calling script with caller.FinalValue
|
|However, I would like to know if this can work without going the
|caller-scope route.
|
|Thanks,
|Jamie
