Actually, a cferror template is probably the only place I'd find isdefined() in any of my code anymore... for the exact same reason Dave described below.

That puts a (comparatively) noticeable overhead on the request as opposed to targeting a specific scope or scopes. I might be forgetting another one-off example, but you'll find most of the time that isDefined() just isn't needed. >. >.. >... Regards, Dave. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
