?? What's a <cfisdefined> statement? CF has no such tag.
IsDefined is a CF function you can use to test for the existence of a variable.
It returns True or False depending on whether the variable exists (regardless
of the value of the variable), thus:
<cfif IsDefined("attributes.myVar")>
Do this section of code
</cfif>
<cfswitch>, on the other hand, is a tag that controls code execution depending
on the results of an expression (such as the value of a variable), thus:
<cfswitch expression="#myVar#">
<cfcase value="Red">
Do code related to the value "Red".
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="Blue">
Do code related to the value "Blue".
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>
A cfswitch construct in index.cfm is the means Fusebox uses to determine which
files to execute. It evaluates the variable "fuseaction". Index.cfm is
referred to as the "fusebox" or "fusebox file".
Hope this helps clarify,
