Another thing to consider about "depreciated" functionality is that if the functionality hasn't yet been removed, it probably hasn't had the same level of testing done to it. This means the code could potentially be buggy or problematic. A tag like parameterExists() has been depreciated long enough (I like since either 3.1 or 4.0,) that you really should make the investment to change the code. It shouldn't take very long, as a global find should find all occurrences of the function. You should be able to do a global replace to isDefined() as well (although for performance reasons, many suggest using structKeyExists() instead.) -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:251814 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
