Prob is that CF doesn't set the datatype of a variable on creation (as in other languages). It determines it when it is referenced or tested. Guess it's good in some ways and bad in others.
-----Original Message----- From: Adrian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 April 2003 15:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: cfparam Anyone else thing cfparam would be more useful when if using it like this... <cfparam name="URL.id" default="0" type="numeric"> ...was the same as using... <cfif NOT IsDefined("URL.id") OR NOT IsNumeric(URL.id)> <cfset URL.id = 0> </cfif> ...so the param kicks in if URL.id isn't defined OR if it isn't a number? I'd never really used the type attribute in cfparam before and I was hoping this was the way it worked.
