Yes, you can do it. No, you should not.
Why? Consider this: <cfset x.y = 1> <cfset x.z = 2> You probably think you have created a structure with two keys, right? Wrong. You have actually created two variables. One is named "x.y", and one is named "x.z". To correctly use dot notation, you should do: <cfset x = structNew()> etc. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 11:49 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: dot notation > > > Hi.
