Woah man, you're looking for help right? I dont know how you expect anyone to help you with an attitude like that, cold medicine or not.
I would have explained that to you too, because how are we to know whether or not you know what you are talking about? You're the one asking the question. First off, if there is a problem with cf not knowing what the url string is, its not cf's fault. cf gets the url variables from the cgi variables, and the cgi variables are passed in using the webserver, like IIS and apache. That is why your cgi variables differ based on which web server you use, and why when you dump the cgi scope, you dont see all of the cgi variables that there really are. Secondly, if you trying to add another url param to the url, just add it before the # sign. Then you can do all the conditional processing you want with it. But this is not a cfmx problem. This is a problem with the way you are using it. On 4/21/06, Todd Rafferty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, I know that. I sent another message to further explain.
