<cfif #variablegoeshere# is 'Constant to compare to'> In other words don't pound all variables. Pound variables that need to be located within a cfoutput or that have to be between quotes.
Good <cfswitch expression="#variablegoeshere#"> <cfif variablegoeshere is 'constant'> <cfloop index="count" from="1" to="#listlen(listvar)#"> Bad <cfif #variablegoeshere# is #variable2goeshere#> <cfset #variablegoeshere# = "constant"> (unless setting a dynamic variable then <cfset 'variablename#dynamicpart#'='constant> works great) One of my pet peeves. There used to be (probably still is) a good article on HOF that details variable usage, but in my minds when I see lots of pound signs that are unnecessary, I automaticalliy think "newbie" to myself.

So, I have a client who wants to see a code sample. Are there any "what a big dummy" flags in cf code that would cause the person to cringe? TIA Candace K.
