I didn't speak clearly, _entirely_ my fault. I was refering to my statment that "CFCs should never output". You said that's 99.99% valid. Even though I intentionally used the word 'never', there are definitely time when a CFC should output HTML (cfcexplorer.cfc is a perfect example). I way saying it's reasonable to fudge and incorrectly say "never" (and be wrong), with the intent of duping people (I hate the word "newbies") until they learn that breaking the rule is perfectly acceptable. Learned that teaching Java to MIS majors. "There is no such thing as a static method in Java, except main(String[] args) and the Math class." Once they figure it out that's wrong, they've already learned that the good habit, rather than starting out with the potentially harmful knowledge.
