No tony, The part "// works similar to " Does not have to be there. It's commented piece of code. Anything after // in a cfscript won't be run, it's just commenting. Ken

I havent the faintest idea what was right or wrong in asp3.0 and have seen this same snippet elsewhere...why does everyone always keep that line (works similar....) in there? or do both lines need to be in there? ps....thanks Joee and Bryan. .tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer Information System Design Navtrak, Inc.

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.
