Mark,
I'm sure someone can explain it better than I (I assume it follows the by
val/by ref logic in C/C++). The general rule of thumb I use is its quoted or
to be displayed it needs the #'s
Here are samples of when to use it:
<CF_MyTag SomeAttrib="#MyVar#">
<cfoutput>#MyVar#</cfoutput>
<cfset MyVar1 = "The value of MyVar2 is #MyVar2#">
Common misues include:
<cfset MyVar1 = #MyVar2#> should be <cfset MyVar1 = MyVar2>
<CF_MyTag SomeAttrib=#MyVar#> should be <CF_MyTag SomeAttrib=MyVar>
Some exceptions to the rule (that I can think of off the top of my head)
are:
IsDefined() ex: IsDefined("form.somefield")
IIf() ex: IIf(IsDefined("form.somefield"), "form.somefield", De("0"))
HTH,
