I cfparam both form and url forms of the variable. Then I convert to Variables...
<cfparam name="form.something" default="" /> <cfparam name="url.something" default="" /> <cfset Variables.something = "myDefaultValue" /> <cfif len(url.something)><cfset Variables.something = url.something /></cfif> <cfif len(form.something)><cfset Variables.something = form.something /></cfif> Of course you can do other checking as well. You may also notice that because of the order I trust the form variables more than the url variables. One thing though, if the values are showing up in the url then your form itself must be using GET, otherwise they wouldn't show in the URL.

Hi, From time to time, I find in my error log errors due to undefined form variables. The reason being that the template was requested using method GET instead of POST. Of course, there are dumb bots that would GET any address they find in a page, but there are also true visitors, even registered members, who will eventually cause the same error. I've also noticed that if you are in a page submitted from a FORM, you click on the address bar in the browser and press Enter, then the same page will be requested with a GET, and cause the same error. Then I intend to write some tag that will check the method used in the request, but my question is: what would you do - or already do - in case of GET instead of POST? - send some error response? - send the user back to the correct empty form? - send some Javascript code to go back in the history? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
