Of course I'd say 99% of VBScript development done for web purposes is *within* ASP, but you can also use Jscript, which itself is also confused as Javascript thus confused with client-side coding. It's all a mess, thus the stats are junk. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CFML tags are what make programming easier, not the CF executable behind it. Saying use java doesn't mean giving up the tag-based approach to web development. Personally, I wouldn't mind if I could convert my code from cf to jsp (using jsp tags) easily, and I sort of expect that to happen over

We've addressed some, but not all of these issues, so it's still best to avoid using reserved keywords as variable names. To quote from the CFMX 6.1 documentation: The following list indicates words you must not use for ColdFusion variables, user-defined function names, or custom tag names.
