Jacob, Excellent point. I love to use Cfparam for type="numeric" and put a try/catch around it. I have not used it for the new CF-7 param types yet, but it's a great tag.

For example, if you are expecting an email address from a form, you can do a cfparam with type="email" and CF will throw an error if the data doesn't match (the email type is new to CF 7). > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 3:55 PM > > ok. > just looking at a bunch of code. > > most pages use a combo of if & switch > what are the reasons to use one over the other. > > also what is the difference between cfset & cfparam. > i know cfset sets the variable you want to be but dosnt cfparam also > do this?
