Well I never make mistakes either, but sometimes I'm forced to fix other
people's mistakes. ;-)
Alan, you devil's-advocatley-mentioned explicitly declaring which scope you
want a variable in. I always perform logins by checking for form.username
and form.password. I don't want no goofball trying to log in via a bookmark
s/he built themselves, and I don't want some jerky coder cfmoduling into my
login fuseaction. IMHO, there's nothing wrong with doing it that way on
occasion. But as a general rule, I always try to attributes scope
erv'ratang.
Struggling to consider myself at 100%,

So I Guess I am the one at 97%. Probably less than that.
I still like to use variables to force the data passed
between act_ and dsp_ files on occasion, though. I
never need to wing it like Nat said, because I never
make mistakes.
