Whoops. I meant trailing space, not trailing slash. Sorry about
that. Basically CF says "34 " is a valid numeric value, in all MX
versions. Here's a better test to illustrate:
<cffunction name="t" output="false" returntype="numeric">
<cfargument name="a" type="numeric" required="true" />
<cfreturn a />
</cffunction>
<cfoutput>
<pre>
<cfloop list="34,34 , 34" index="i">
#i# : #isNumeric(i)# : _#t(i)#_
</cfloop>
</pre>
</cfoutput>
Surely this is a bug?
cheers,
