RE: Dynamic variable name (WAS: XML Variable Issue)
OK, well while on the subject of doing things the correct way, how would you set this value? cfset config.siteConfig.siteSections.#url.SectionName#.XMLText = True works, but is there a better/cleaner way? Yey, cfif IsDefined(Config.SiteConfig.SiteSections.#Sections.Name#) works fine! cfif structKeyExists(config.siteConfig.siteSections,sections.name) Faster, safer.

Re: Dynamic variable name (WAS: XML Variable Issue)
When dealing with structures (or XML since most of the time XML objects can be dealt with like you deal with structures) a good rule of thumb is to us the . (request.page_id) when you know what you are looking for and to use the [] (request[something]) when you are using a variable to evaluate what you are looking for, so in request[something] something would be a vadiable containing page_id. Hope that helps.
