Tightening up codes

[minli98]

Hi,

Is there a program that can tighten up my codes so that all the white spaces and carriage returns are rid of?

      <cfif x gt y>
           <cfset x = x+1>
      </cfif>

becomes
<cfif x gt y><cfset x=x+1></cfif>

Of course this makes it more difficult to read, so I would ideally run the program just before uploading to the server.

Btw, I have already tried and used <cfsilent> and <cfsetting> and they do cut down the amount of white spaces somewhat (not entirely).

Thank you all.

May I ask why you are trying to do this?

To make my files smaller -- faster download. To be honest, I don't know how big of a difference it's going to make, but that's why I want to try it.

Hey min,

Removing even a few hundred character returns from a page of CF isn't going to make a noticable difference to teh download speed - not for anyone on broardband anyway.

I suggest you add gzip compression to your cf application server, that will give you 70%+ smaller cfm files, and it adds almost nothing to the CPU load.

All browsers you can name support it.

In regard to my last post, you can use a program called Fusion Reactor to just do it for you.

It's a CF server monitoring tool (works abit like cfadmin), but it has an option to turn it on.
