Re: [cfaussie] Converting boolean YES to true

The issue here is not one of static vs. dynamic languages. JavaScript is dynamic but doesn't have this difficulty with booleans that Adobe CF has. The problem is due to two characteristics of Adobe CFML: 1. Boolean is not a true primitive type. 2. Boolean operators return the string "YES" f

Re: [cfaussie] Converting boolean YES to true

so, what's !YES ... is it NO? is anything that can be construed as a YES (True, 1, etc) considered a YES and therefore the opposite is NO? On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 5:30 PM, Chong wrote: > TBH you would have to fix it yourself, I can't see Adobe fixing it soon as > it is likely a legacy issue,

TBH you would have to fix it yourself, I can't see Adobe fixing it soon as it is likely a legacy issue, I would imagine if they change how it works to the way we expect it should, any code using specifically the old behaviour would error ... so they are probably stuck till they can agree on an e

Yeah it can be fixed with if/else but should it be? We want to write "less" code, not more...true ? or maybe it is YES J From: Paul Kukiel [mailto:kuki...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 4 August 2011 5:13 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Converting boolean Y

[cfaussie] Converting boolean YES to true

I have been coming across this issue more and more when dealing with JavaScript and JSON which is ColdFusion changing true|false to YES|NO values. For example:- #foo# = true #foo# = NO Now take this JSON string for example {"foo":#foo#} would then become {"foo":NO} which the
