One reason that occurs to me offhand would be if you're using CFSETTING to only output things that are explicitly within CFOUTPUT. I'm not sure why people think it's a bad idea to use CFML within CFOUTPUT tags, though.

Re: Whitespace Woes
In general, I'd agree. But that's not a reason to make your custom tags dependant on that fact, particularly one whose purpose is to reduce whitespace. http://www.spike.org.uk/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=CC663650-D565-E33F-3DA8032FED9A0DC8 Spike's got a nice method for ensuring that your tags aren't called from within CFOUTPUT. might be a good candidate for that tag. cheers, barneyb On Tue, 22 Mar 2005 18:57:07 -0400, Andrew Grosset <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > me thinks it's not a good idea to call any tag within a CFOUTPUT tag...at > least I'd try not to if at all possible. > > Andrew. -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

Re: Whitespace Woes
If you call the tag within a CFOUTPUT tag, then you'll get a few extra lines of whitespace above the whitespace-suppressed content. The actual suppression won't be affected, but the tag itself will generate a few extra lines. If it's not within a CFOUTPUT tag, then it won't put those extra few lines in there. cheers, barneyb On Tue, 22 Mar 2005 17:02:15 -0400, Andrew Grosset <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmmm > > I can't give you an example but using MX6.1 and with strengthmode on maximum > it will eliminate 99% of whitespace and output all the html on one line > > Andrew. -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

Re: Whitespace Woes
Ironically, this tag has exactly the problem I illustrated, and
consequently will usually end up rendering a bunch of extra whitespace
itself.

CFOUTPUT carries across includes and tags for enableCFOUTPUTonly processing. So if the tag is called within a CFOUTPUT block, your CFSETTING tag will have no effect. Since that info is outside the scope of what the tag can possibly know, you're better off skipping CFSETTING and only using CFSILENT inside custom tags.

And yes, I've done my Google searching. The problem is that I'm trying to output an XML file, and it's crucial that there not be any whitespace before the declaration. An extremely simplified likeness of my ColdFusion script (with line numbers, lest e-mail word-wrapping confuse you) is thus: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> 8 9 10 11 So this page shows an HTML page with a form on it by default, and if the form is submitted, it spits out XML. As you can see, I'm trying at least two different ways to eliminate CF's whitespace: the SuppressWhitespace and EnableCFOutputOnly. The problem is that this is what I get from this simplified script (the problem is the same in my big one): http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> You'll note the extra space before the http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> Much to my surprise, the output of this file (with the proper URL inputs) is: 1 http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> Which means the space is being added *before* any of my whitespace-suppressing measures. All of which just annoys the heck out of me. Sure, I can go in and manually delete that space, but I shouldn't *have* to. Are there any wise warriors out there that could help here?

RE: whitespace woes
As a few people suggested, I played around with the application.cfm file - I had not realized that it was appended to the beginning of my regular .cfm file. Interestingly enough, application.cfm didn't contain any excess spaces, but it did have several non-outputting tags each on their own line, so I imagine it was the CR's that were giving me grief. Anyhow, put all of application.cfm on one line, and my mysterious space is now gone. Thanks to all who helped out.

Re: whitespace woes
Just for the record, CFMX does not add the space. I had some problems recently developing something on CFMX and uploading to a CF5 server. : grumbles: What you may want to try is to generate everything as a variable and then output the variable. I'm not sure if this will help with the extra space problem, though. You may want to see if cfsilent is supported on your version. I believe it was introduced in CF5, though and does not exist in CF45. At 02:13 PM 10/24/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I'm having with trouble with ColdFusion and extraneous whitespace.

Quick shot in the dark (I have a meeting to run to) but I think that having the CFOUTPUT on a line of it's own could be causing your problem. Try something like this: Instead of : Let me know if that works (or at least cuts down on your whitespace).

whitespace woes
I'm having with trouble with ColdFusion and extraneous whitespace. And yes, I've done my Google searching. The problem is that I'm trying to output an XML file, and it's crucial that there not be any whitespace before the declaration. An extremely simplified likeness of my ColdFusion script (with line numbers, lest e-mail word-wrapping confuse you) is thus: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> 8 9 10 11 So this page shows an HTML page with a form on it by default, and if the form is submitted, it spits out XML. As you can see, I'm trying at least two different ways to eliminate CF's whitespace: the SuppressWhitespace and EnableCFOutputOnly. The problem is that this is what I get from this simplified script (the problem is the same in my big one): http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> You'll note the extra space before the http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> Much to my surprise, the output of this file (with the proper URL inputs) is: 1 http://www.foo.com/bar.dtd";> Which means the space is being added *before* any of my whitespace-suppressing measures. All of which just annoys the heck out of me. Sure, I can go in and manually delete that space, but I shouldn't *have* to. Are there any wise warriors out there that could help here? To my knowledge, we're running ColdFusion 4.0 on the server, although I only recently inherited this project, and I'm not sure.
