Here are some I think are "dummy" flags in CF (last 2 are semi-dummy) :) ..
1. Uneccessarily using hashes in a CF TAG for example, I have a variable time_var and I want another variable to have its value... <CFSET new_var = #Time_var#> While that works, it is not necessary! It should be <CFSET new_var = Time_var> 2. Using too many CFIF tags when you should have used CFSWITCH. 3. Using CFINSERT. 4. Not deploying resuable code, especially reusable forms. While this may not qualify you as a dummy, it might be a "newbie" or "inexperienced" or "bad code-monkey" flag :) For example, if the application has the same navigation bar on every page, did you code the navigation bar on every single page, or did you code the bar on one page, and then CFincluded it in every page? 5. Consistency...Do you follow some kind of method for naming your variables? My variables always start off lowered case. And I keep it that way. Not because it makes CF run better. But because it's consistent.

So, I have a client who wants to see a code sample. Are there any "what a big dummy" flags in cf code that would cause the person to cringe? TIA Candace K.
