I challenge someone to come up with an useful example. The one you
provided...
<cfset variables.isCorrectPW = form.password eq myQuery.password>
<cfif not variables.isCorrectPW>
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
</cfif>
is a complete waste that can be better written as.
<cfif form.password neq myQuery.password >
<cflocation url="login.cfm">
</cfif>
Again, there really is no reason to ever have a comparison in a <cfset>
tag and I challenge someone to prove otherwise.
