Unfortunately that's the way Mac IE works ... it's particularly nice when dealing with file uploads. IE shoves a space at the end of every formfield entry for some unbeknownst reason.
Your approach to clean all form submissions is the best approach ... Not really a bad idea anyway if you think about it. If you already use a custom tag to validate data you could just place it in that tag as a catch all.

I would vote for the brute force approach you describe. It's not really that bad though, Fusebox code does similar things to the form scope. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gyrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, 28 January 2003 11:26 a.m. > To: CF-Talk > Subject: SOT: hidden form fields and Macs > > > Anyone have any problems with hidden form fields and Macs? > I've got someone > using a CF site I've done, they're using Mac OS9 & IE5 (I think). > > Problem seems to be that boolean hidden fields (values set to > "TRUE" or > "FALSE") seem to be getting spaces added to them abitrarily. > At least, when > I use > > <cfif Trim(form.hiddenField)> > > rather than > > <cfif form.hiddenField> > > I don't get the "cannot convert to boolean" error.
