RE: Check for Specific Numeric Date

[Steve LaBadie]

Thanks for that Charles. All I am doing is setting up a simple math
question on a form to stop the spam bots. I am not a fan of Captcha and
being a public institution I need to accommodate the masses regarding
accessibility. This is an interim fix until I have time to evaluate my
options.

isNumeric("form.num") will always evaluate to 0 (and not 4).  It's a
literal
string (by virtue of the fact that it's enclosed in quotes).  So this
condition will never be true.

What you want is isNumeric(form.num).  Which will return true or false.
So
when you say isNumeric(form.num) eq 4... I'm not sure that's what you
want.
ColdFusion will accept that... it uses implicit boolean conversion so
true
== 4 is true.  But that's not really what you're going for, I don't
think.
