Should be an easy one..IsDefined OR

[Newsgroup_User]

I am trying to have my page check to see if there is a defined variable OR
if a button is clicked to trigger an event. It doesnt seem to be working.

<cfif IsDefined ('Get_Student') OR #Student#>

IS that right?

Wally,

Right now you are not really saying anything complete. What is Get_Student
and what is #Student#?

Get_Student is a button and #Student# is a variable.

When you say "event", I presume you are talking about a Javascript (CLIENT
SIDE) event? How is CF supposed to know what's happening on the client
browser?

What are you wanting to happen as an event handler?

Ok, but then what you are saying is IF button is defined or variable.

Then what?

<CFIF> statments say If A is defined do this if not do B.

And, I don't think you can see if a button is defined. Its a button. If the
Get_Student is a submit button then you can check for that
<CFIF IsDefined("Get_Student.Submit") or #Student# EQ "something">
Then do this.
</CFIF>
