Hi Ian, James, Seems we are getting more info now. OK, so you can't map html to cf. So your choices are PERL,PHP or whatever cgi your provider allows. If they don't allow cgi you could still use the image route and do it using JavaScript as suggested by Ian. You can gather all the info you need from JavaScript and put this into new image() and set the src to the coldFusion page you want. Ian's code below actually shows you how to do this. Nice work Ian. Here is another example: NOTE: I have not tested this so there may be syntax errors. Also note the spelling of referrer. In cgi it is incorrectly spelt with one r. <script language="javascript"> newImg = new image(1,1) // Creates a new image var infoNeeded = "?referrer=" + document.referer // Sets infoNeeded to ?referrer=theReferringDocument infoNeeded = infoNeeded + "&port=" + document.port // appends any other needed info to infoNeeded // This code will make the src for the new image call a CF page. This page should return an image. // the code on this page can do whatever you want with the info passed. newImage.src="http://yourdomain.com/yourColdFusionPage.cfm"; + infoNeeded //This code will run when the page is loaded, or you can put it in a function and call it with onLoad in the body tag. </script>
