Yes,

I agree, and I have already modified the code, but is this a compability issue? 
The application that I loaded off riaforge (tested on ACF) didn't work out of 
the box!

| ColdFusion sure can lead to strange coding conventions. Sometimes it seems

| I'm not a CF programmer myself, so I resort to "more conventional" methods.

| 
| <cfif isDefined("query.column")>
|  // do stuff
| </cfif>
| 
| Can you guess what
| 
| <cfset myVar="true"/>
| <cfoutput>
|  #myVar# is #isBoolean(myVar)#
| </cfoutput>
| 
| outputs? My guess would have been "true is FALSE", but it seems things
| aren't always so black and white. Or zero and one.

| P.S. The correct answer is "true is YES". Now that's what I call an
| enthusiastic boolean!
