Glad I could help. :) > A question/comment or two... > __ On the action page, you have > <CFIF Len(Trim(form["Website_authorLNAME#i#"]))> > What are you checking for? That there is a length? Or more specifically that the lenth is greater than zero. CF evaluates integers as booleans where 0 = false and all other integers are true. So in the statement <cfif len(trim(blah))> you remove any white space and then if there are any non-whitespace characters remaining, you get a true result and the codeblock executes. > __Isaac, you are right when you say I needed a refresher > on associative arrays. I have to admit that complex data > types scare me a bit ;) Glad I could help. :) Imho they really are much less intimidating once you "get" the fact that all (or most) of the scopes (session, application, etc) are structures, and so by that reasoning, most folks who say "I've never done anything with structures" actually have they just aren't aware of it. >From that point it's just a different syntax and we all know syntax is just something you get the hang of. If you have a little time, you might also want to go over the documentation for all the structure functions: structkeylist, structkeyexists, structappend, structinsert and structdelete. If you're not comfortable using array notation, they give you yet another alternative syntax you can use. Structdelete in particular if you have a use for it you'll be glad you don't have to code the alternative. ;) Today I'm getting a refresher for myself on cferror. Can't figure out why I can't get this exception error handler to execute. No problems getting it to execute if I specify type="request" but for some reason it seems that no matter where I place the template or how I call it if I put type="exception" it just gives me the standard CF error dump. Seems like such a silly little thing to be giving me so much grief. :) > I saw Jim post the info about the article and I will > definitely be reading it. I dont think I can afford not to. Jim's article on locking is the one that got me started down that path. He's a good writer, very thorough and I think he also has a very accessible writing style as compared to a lot of us gearheads. :) s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
