Unfortunately because LSParseNumber() throws an error on any value it can't parse, no amount of CFIF is going to be a complete solution. You have to have a try-catch in it somewhere, otherwise your page is just going to display a CF error to your user if they enter some value CF doesn't understand. This is why I really wish LSParseNumber would return an empty string instead of producing an error -- because if it did, you could gracefully use just cfif statements to test for valid numbers and wouldn't need the extra try-catch statements. :::sigh::: CF's internationalization features in general seem to be rather lacking unfortunately. They're certainly a lot better with more recent versions of the server (and for most of us a bit easier to use than Java -- I can't compare to PHP or ASP), but still fairly less than ideal. Granted that throwing an error is what Java's NumberFormat objects do with unrecognizable strings also, so it's consistent with Java's behavior -- it's just not very easy/intuitive/useful/helpful behavior (much like Java at large). s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234452 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
