This has been a very interesting thread. But the truth of the matter is that it is depending on what you intend to do with the results.
StructFind() : Will throw an exception error if the key doesn't exist. StructKeyExists() : will return Yes / no if the key exists or not. Struct["Key"] : Will also throw an exception if the key doesn't exist. Now you could always wrap a try/catch around most tags for exception handling, but this is an expensive way of doing things.

I use StructFind() a lot - simply because I tend to encapsulate struct's behind getter's and setters quite regualrly. So Inside a CFC you would find me writing: <cfset thisValue = StructFind(getStruct(), key) /> As ColdFusion doesn't support syntax like: <cfset thisValue = getStruct()[key] /> Mark On 9/19/07, Adam Cameron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > If you try and output "struct[key]" and the key doesn't exists that it will > > error > > Sure.
