Setting commonly used functions to a 'permanent' memory scope such as server
or application is a good idea. A better one would be to create a CFC that
contains the common functions as well as common data and store that CFC in
the memory scope.

Due to the double evaluation nature of IIF, you have to double escape text
results in IIF. For example:
IIF(1 eq 1, '"one"', '"not one"')
What you see there is single quotes around double quotes. This can also be
done with the DE() function, but that's a waste in my mind.

A CFC (ColdFusion Component) is a template written with specific syntax to
act in an object oriented manner. The CFC is made up of functions (referred
to as methods) that can be accessed to do work. In addition, the cfc has the
ability to preserve variables that are created as long as it exists.
I've been thinking of using Flash forms to deal with this problem.

A long while ago I wrote some step by step docs for CFSCRIPT:

My mistake. As for in memory caching, I suggest care be taken when doing it.
I cache some things in memory and make VERY sure others are not. This is
important when dealing with large content sites where a lot of stuff cached

If I remember correctly from my research into this, the Google search app

This means you have to be sure that its set up to get all of the content on

I'm doing a complete review of comparisons statements in CF and it's one of
the joiners allowed. Even if they're never used, I have to cover them. :)
As for the bitwise xor, I'll deal with that later.
ColdFusion comparison statements (CFIF, etc.) support the XOR joiner between
clauses. This is used as such:
clause1 XOR clause2
This says that either clause1 or clause2 has to be true for the statement to be
true. If both are true or both are false, then the entire statement is false.

And the end result is a method that can be put into a CFC to cause the CFC
to be cached to any memory structure when called. The reasoning for this is
to have the caching as part of the CFC, not as part of the calling page.
I'll be adding this to the base CFC so every CFC on my box will be able
of its own caching.
