I wasn't being testy at all, but ok. As for why not add another url variable in there, because the client who contacted this 3rd party software is basically running out of time and money with the 3rd party. Getting another URL variable in there would probably cost them another half a million. ;) I only wish I was joking...
I think I have a resolution to this. I'm just surprised that the CFMX server doesn't have a way to pull down the entire URL as it stands without breaking it apart. No worries. Thanks for the ideas. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 1:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: URL issue Little testy on a Friday are we? You never know who the guy is that understands and who the guy is that doesn't understand. I like Jacob's idea. Why not add another url variable so that before you get to the # sign, you have ?&u=yes&highlight=yes. Then you'll have a value in the url scope to check for whether or not to disable those tags. --Ferg Todd Rafferty wrote: > Yes, I know that. I sent another message to further explain.
