Michael, Run the following code:
<cfscript> s1 = structNew(); s1.camelCase = "key is stored in uppercase"; s2 = structNew(); s2["camelCase"] = "key is stored in camel-case"; </cfscript> <cfdump var="#s1#" label="upper case" /> <br /> <cfdump var="#s2#" label="camel-case" /> <cfwddx action="cfml2js" input="#s1#" toplevelvariable="s1" /> <cfwddx action="cfml2js" input="#s2#" toplevelvariable="s2" /> Notice that CF stores camel-case keys if the brackets are used. In both cases the keys are converted to lowercase in JavaScript. Personally, while I use camelcase as well, it simplifies things greatly that it's all lowercase. It makes things consistent and you don't worry have to worry about a developer writing code that uses different case typing. Granted, hopefully we'll all coding under strict guidelines, but that's not always the case--especially when doing temporary contracting work. -Dan >-----Original Message----- >From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, December 19, 2005 5:15 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: RE: Known Bug in CFWDDX CFML2JS Variable Name Case? > >Here is my code.
