CFoutput tag Usage

[DouglasF]

<CFoutput> Usage:

Is it good practice to use one <CFoutput> </CFoutput> surrounding a whole template or use multiple uses where the CF code needs it throughout the page? Would the template process faster if multiple CFoutput's are used? Does having HTML between the tag slow the page processing?

Hi,
CF application server returns the HTML code as it is, so it doesn't matter if you put HTML tags within the CFOUTPUT tags. I think it's better to use the CFOUTPUT tag on-demand.

Goodluck

insert createodbctime(now()) at teh begining

run alot of html / cf code with <cfoutput> surrounding the entire template. loop it a few thousand times.

insert another createodbctime(now()) in a seperate field at the end.

datediff the two times.

do it again with <cfoutput> used on demand.

see what you get.
