Now, I know that when you are writing a UDF you use var to scope all local udf variables, keeping them from existing in the variables scope of the calling page. I have physically seen this behavior in my tests. But... What I'm not understanding is if var is necessary in the same way or for the same reasons when writing components. I know Raymond says it is so... And I'm not suggesting he's wrong, I'd just like to know why.
When I write a component and do not use var the local variables in my component stay local to the component... I can't examine them when I'm viewing the variables scope on the calling page. Is there a reason (other than good form) to use var when building a component? I believe that in flash var-ing variables actually saves memory space in that the variables are destroyed when the function ends... -Patti ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
