Bah, so many nested ifs.

This developer has obviously never heard of the FOR-CASE paradigm.

That made me wonder if ColdFusion actually has a sleep function. Well, it does: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-6f29.html

and the documentation even suggests using it for thread synchronization. :facepalm:

In Script mode it's not too bad. Tag mode is.... not really fun though.

Why does Tag Mode even exist though? Did someone really decide "What my syntax needs is XML markup!"?

It was one of those efforts to make back-end code look like front-end code. Those never end well. :trolleybus:

So now we switched to making back-end code look like front-end code.

Hint: Starts with a J and ends with -Script

Don't you mean 'making front-end code look like back-end code'?

No, I meant what I wrote.

Wait, I don't see the :wtf: here, this seems to parse just fine, excepting that type attribute for the function call is supposed to be fcall...

accalia · 2015-03-12 Reply Admin

i'm pretty sure in this case it is earned... ;-P

I am flabbergasted that Cold Fusion would encourage such tacky methods to script logic! Have they never heard of VBA scripting?
