I have an admin page that can be accessed from quite a few other pages.
I would like to return people to their original page after they're through
with this admin page.
Simple enough on the surface but people can do a lot of editing and deleting
on this page so
<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">
doesn't work.
To keep track of the original referer page I put ?act=start into the link
that took me to the admin page and placed
<cfset return=cgi.http_referer>
in the if-else clause.
EXAMPLE:
=======
<cfif act EQ "start">
<cfset return=cgi.http_referer>
<cfelseif ...
</cfif>
=========
That did not work. As I clicked around (act=add/act=del/act=edit) the
referer changed as well even though it was in act=start and I was selecting
act=add, etc...
Finally I decided to put it into a session variable <cfset
session.referer=cgi.http_referer> and that worked.
So, what's going on? Why isn't the session variable also updated when I
add/edit/delete?
