Off the top of my head, here's some things I've standardised on (mostly security-related): - Application.cfm should always be capitalised to prevent forgetful frustration when migrating to a Unix server ;) - All sensitive variables should be set in Application.cfm, and Application.cfm should be encoded using cfencode.exe before uploading to live server. - All form data should be thoroughly validated *server-side*. Client-side JS validation is extra, if you don't want people to have to go through a form twice if they get things wrong. - Standardise on variable- and file-naming conventions. I've taken a lot from Fusebox, it *is* worth looking at even if you don't take it all lock, stock & barrel. One thing I've found really useful is the Fusedoc standard for documentary comments in CF templates. I don't use the full XML code thing, just plain comments, but the conventions (e.g. for describing incoming and outgoing variables) are really nice. hth, - Gyrus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
