Also, if you try doing this a = ArrayNew(1); a[1].someKey = "some value";
you'll get an error. a = ArrayNew(1); a[1] = StructNew(); a[1].someKey = "some value"; Will work. Ade -----Original Message----- From: Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 January 2005 19:17 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Multivalued Array help I was recently testing something and made an interesting discovery... <cfscript> thisVar.testStruct.myVal = "some value"; </cfscript> Actually works... without a structNew() call to create it. So... new question... do we go ahead and imply a struct simply by syntax, or do we, for the sake of protocol and readability, insist on an explicit strucNew() call? Personally, I'm for dropping the extra operation and implicity creating a struct. Anybody?
