Yes, ColdFusion will intepret that as a number.
For example, try this:
<cfset var1 = "0.00">
<cfset var2 = "0">
<CFIF Var1 EQ 0>
TRUE
<CFELSE>
False
</CFIF>
<br>
<br>
<CFIF Var1 EQ "0">
TRUE
<CFELSE>
False
</CFIF>
<cfif var1 eq var2>
True
<cfelse>
False
</cfif>
Note that generally when something is surrounded by quotes, it's a text object, but in
this case since the value is a number, it will be evaluated as a number.
