That's not "setting" session and client variables. That is including them in a page URL.
When CF developers talk about session and client veriables, they are generally referring to variables stored in the session and client scopes. These variables may never be visible to users. These articles appear to be referring to variables passed in the URL that are used to maintain a session. Personally, I don't use variables like these at all. You only need them if you want to maintain a session without using cookies. There are a number of potential problems with them, such as what if Google indexes somebody's URL with these variables visible (this can happen if you have Google toolbar) and then people start seeing what's in somebody else's cart. Oh dear. What I'm saying is that maintaining state without cookies is a can of worms. -----Original Message----- From: Nomad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 28 October 2005 4:16 p.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Solved: Client/Session Variable: When to set?
