>>Yes, the real benefit is that you always know which scope is being referenced, with no ambiguity.
Actually, there is only ambiguity for those who do not know the language they are using and its rules by default. There could be an ambiguity if you are using the same variables names for different variables in different scopes; now THIS can be considered as bad practice. If you never do this, there will never be ambiguity. For me, always scoping would be the same as always providing all attributes with their default values in all tags. Anyway, NEVER SAY ALWAYS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344670 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
