undefined parameter 1

[wouter]

i've got this page you can access in three ways:

1. Without a parameter.

2. With a parameter (desktop.cfm?param_status=on)

3. With a parameter (desktop.cfm?param_status=off)

When the page is accessed with a parameter there's no problem at all, but when the page is accessed without a parameter (just 'desktop.cfm') is says (ofcourse) param_status is undefined.

Is there a way to say like:

<cfif param_status = undefined>

blah blah blah blah

</cfif>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

What I've done in some of my pages that can be access in a similar manner is do:

<cfif not isdefined(&quot;url.param_status&quot>
<cfset url.param_status = &quot;off&quot;>
</cfif>

effectively spoofing the parameter.

You can use the cfparam tag:

<cfparam name=&quot;URL.param_status&quot; default=&quot;off&quot;>

Thanks, IsDefined worked like a charm. I'll give cfparam a try too, because i'm not yet familiar (enough) with this tag. Thanks for your response. Wouter
