CFMX Server side redirect...
<cfscript>
GetPageContext().forward("Somepage.cfm?myid=7"); // works similar to asp3.0
server.redirect(whatever.asp)
</cfscript>Yes.. the server redirects/passes/controls the flow of the application. Cookies should work fine. Some of the new CFMX books advise this method.. but i think.. the URL doesnt change.. eventhough the redirected page get executed.
