I would like to see ColdFusion recognize a qualifier. Other programs do it easily enough. <cfloop index="listitem" list="#mylist#" qualifier = "#chr(34)#"> I'd also like it if they would make it recognize empty list items as just that, i.e; A,B,,D So listgetat(mylist, 4) would return D and not an error that the list has only 3 items. In those 2 regards I'd agree that CF isn't too bright where lists are concerned. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
