Err. . . that was supposed to be 1900 in the function ;)

We employ a "bogus date cheat" method here as well. Basically, we chose
1/1/1900 as our bogus date. Anywhere we need to check for a null date we
have to use this function:
function IEGetDate(dt) {
if (DateCompare(dt, "1/1/1901") IS 0)
return "";
else
return dt;
}
Tons of fun :(

Subject: RE: [CFCDev] cffunction returntype="date"
That's sort of a drag. I have several date fields in the database and most
of them can all be null/empty. I guess I can't even use type="date" on the
setter <cfargument> tag because I may want to set the field to NULL.
The other option is to return a bogus date that the code understands to
represent NULL.
I was hoping that I missed something before taking the steps necessary to
rework the code.
BTW, I also found out that you can't name a cffunction 'GetPassword' because
of a conflict with a Java function with the same name. Is there a list
somewhere of 'reserved' function names that should be avoided?
TIA,
sj
