Really? What's so difficult about a simple switch as in <cfswitch expression = "#variables.foo#> <cfcase value="one,two,three,etc.">do something</case> <cfdefaultCase>do something else</cfcase> </cfswitch> As for unusable, I find just the opposite, its one of the most useful tags. In a lot of coding, you're making decisions based on a single type of variable. If you're doing something more complex, that's when you need to use a <cfif foo>...<cfelseif bar>...<cfelse>...</cfif> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310148 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
