Dave:
Thanks for the reply. My misuse of terminology aside, that would mean that the
following cannot be converted to using IIF():
<cfif IsDefined("importData.nickname")>
<cfset variables.nickname = importData.nickname>
<cfelse>
<cfset variables.nickname = "">
</cfif>
I thought the whole point of the DE() function was to delay evaluation of its
argument until it was actually needed (e.g., when the IIF() function's first
argument evaluates to true). If not, then the only way to use a variable, that
may not be defined, is by way of the full <cfif> treatment. Is that right?
