The ToString would do it's work before it got to the browser so it's probably something else.
View the source of the page and see if all the functions and calls to functions are named correctly.

I am not getting any error messages, however. I don't think the function is running at all, as I added a popup message to either scenario and still got no results. The tostring() i had to add because i was getting a javascript error message saying that a numeric value was trying to be used as a string (most of my vars are numbers). >What's not working, JS, CF?
