Hardly shocking. Nor dangerous. coldfusion looks at the arguments and var scoped variables FIRST, and prevents you from creating var scoped variables with the same name as arguments.
So it's no more or less dangerous than anything else CF does with regards to variable scoping. I'm not very consistent about prefixing arguments variables with "arguments." in my code... off the top of my head, I can't tell you when I do it and when I don't.. I can only say that I do it sometimes, and other times I don't :) Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
