What I meant for you to do is to use that code to test whether the ? at the end of the URL was a "bad query string" example. So, where this might be valid:
http://www.26liter.us/news.html?qVal1=34&qVal2=apple ....this is not: http://www.26liter.us/news.html? The snippet I sent will test to see if the URL follows the "bad format" above. In that case, you do what you would do if the user loaded the page with no query string at all. The more complicated snippet I sent you lets a value like this pass through (presuming that ? within the query string are okay): http://www.26liter.us/news.html?qVal1=34&qVal2=apple&qVal3=Who?

It looks like its adding "?" to the url when I want to remove it if there is not a query string available. Hope all this makes sense. I have been starring at it so long I'm not sure if I can explain it well enough.

I don't know whether having multiple ? in the URL will be necessary. If so, and if this will even work (I can't remember whether it causes browser error), then you should use this instead: <CFIF Right(cgi.HTTP_REFERER,1) IS "?" AND not Find(cgi.HTTP_REFERRER,"?",Find(cgi.HTTP_REFERRER,"?") + 1)> <!--- URL ends with ? that does not terminate valid query string ---> </CFIF> HTH, Matthieu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:227951 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
