On that note, don't forget that it takes time to fill out the form. Even if it's just a simple file upload form, it might take the user a couple of minutes to find the file. If your start time was created by ColdFusion, you're going to have some 'user lag' in the overall upload time. The best solution I've heard mentioned is to use a simple ajax call to get and/or store a time value that comes from the server, and then compare to that when CF loads the landing page. Some good places to store the start time have already been mentioned. -------------- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
