RE: [Spam?] Re: CFIF Not Working As Expected
Peter, I always use cfparam but I gather that also using the StructKeyExists is more efficient. And yes agree I should be trimming as well and checking that the submit button has been pushed.

CFIF Not Working As Expected
I have a form where a person can request to sign up for CMS access. This person can also request access for a subordinate as well. I would like the success page to confirm the person selection. If the primary person is the only name, the name prints if the requester is registering for someone else, both names print. Not sure which direction to go.
