| | Christian Cantrell: Controlling Whitespace in ColdFusion (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | With browsers being as generous as they are about whitespace, ColdFusion, like every other scripting language I have used, doesn't seem to make much of an effort to keep it to a minimum. |
 | | Typically, whitespace is not a concern since browsers handle it so well, however if you are trying to generate an XML document, it can be a big problem. |
 | | However, CFMX for J2EE doesn't seem to come with the whitespace management option, and sometimes no matter what combination of whitespace management tags I use, I simply cannot prevent the server from writing out a few carriage returns at the top of the document (which makes for invalid XML). |
