Just to let you know, if form.name is a text field, it will always pass that
field as a parameter. However, it will be an empty string. So you can't
check for it by isDefined("form.name") because it does exist, just as an
empty string.
Try this,
<cfif Not Len(form.name)>
CODE
</cfif>
or you could do
<cfif form.name IS "">
CODE
</cfif>

I don't think so. I know Form.FIELDNAMES is reserved, but that's about it,
I think.
