This makes it very hard to follow a subject that you are trying to learn, especially when the subject is about escaping quotes in and around strings bzzob573 0 0 2009-02-24T07:23:03 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000449.htm#72452 In the above example, Blue and Green should be in double or single quote, to be treated as string. Otherwise undefined error will generate.
