Something else I had forgotten but remembered once I checked LiveDocs... setvariable() is deprecated, so I stayed away from it.
Nowadays I prefer to never dump a var into a just the scope (i.e. variables.foo). Everything goes into structs if for no other reason than grouping related stuff together that belongs on a particular template. So I would be creating scope.structname.varname and never leaving the local scope undeclared like i did with <cfoutput>#admin_boss.helloWorld#</cfoutput> -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com <http://mysecretbase.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:218338 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
