Subject: if value exists, show it


> I simply want to test to see if a variable has a value (eg text has been 
> returned from a query) and if so, show it. There seem to be a few options --
> 
> <cfif isdefined(#variable#)>
> #variable#
> </cfif>
> 
> or
> 
> <cfif len(#variable#) GT 0>
> #variable#
> </cfif>
> 
> or
> 
> <cfif #variable# IS "">
> #variable#
> </cfif>
> 
> Is one of these better than the others for dealing with text values? I 
> understand that IsDefined should be locked; I assume that is not the case 
> for the other two.
