I'm not saying there isn't times you need to use StructKeyExists. Readability is by far my biggest goal, the faster I can read though a script, the less hassles I have with it as a whole, and cfparam allows you to use a built in function to assist in setting up page variables. Not saying there arn't times you should use StuctKeyExists, but if it was a param to begin with, you already know the default value; That coupled with StructKeyExists is a pain to type! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336745 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
