The penalty for being smug about your mastery of the universe is - sooner or later - extremely painful. Put simply, unscoped vars can yield uncertain results. There has been more than enough illustration of this with specific cases right here in this thread, so I won't repeat them. Unscoped = sloppy. Always scoped = always predictable behavior, and always traceable at a glance by other members of the team. The latter is at least as important as the former. And anyone blowing off code readability is going to be on the street looking for a job on a different team. -- --m@Robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344731 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
