Hi, let's assume that there is no query for the CFOUTPUT tag. Which would be
better coding style?
I've seen it done both ways: CFOUTPUTing each variable and
CFOUTPUTing/encapsulating the entire
template. Sometimes when I run into things I think "what do the pros do?".
What would the pros do in this situation?

It depends how you want the results to be displayed, but I'd recommend
putting the cfoutput tags inside the table before the <tr> as otherwise
you'll open a new table for each line of results, which isn't good if you're
pulling rows and rows back from a database.

Subject: Correctly using CFOUTPUT
Hi, I've always been curious about this. What is the correct way? Does it
matter?
Listing 1:
<CFOUTPUT>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>#var1#</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>#var2#</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</CFOUTPUT>
Listing 2:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><CFOUTPUT>#var1#</CFOUTPUT></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><CFOUTPUT>#var2#</CFOUTPUT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Is there an unwritten rule; if there are more than 4 (or ?) vars in a page
Listing 1 is a good way to do it else Listing 2 is recommended? I'm assuming
when using <CFOUTPUT QUERY="q1"></CFOUTPUT> Listing 1 would always be
applicable.
Thanks for any help!
