I've had a similar thing with url variable: <cfparam name="url.myvariable" default="The Sky is Blue"> <cfparam name="url.donorid" default="Roses Are Red"> <p>The value of url.myvariable is: <cfoutput>#url.myvariable#</cfoutput></p> <p>The value of url.donorid is: <cfoutput>#url.donorid#</cfoutput></p>
<cfif url.donorid is ""><p>It's Empty</p></cfif> <cfabort> For some reason url.donorid always disappears unless there is an actual passed variable in the url. However, in theory the cfparam tag should set the default if none in the url. But no. It comes out an empty string. Here's the really strange thing because it seems to be just the variable name "donorid" and if I change the name then no problem. I'm on CF8 and this little quirk drove me nuts in an application trying to figure out why.
