Andy, I don't think you understand how cflocation works. Even though it is a
CF tag, the relocation does NOT happen on the server side. If you make a
test file and place the following code in it:
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript">
alert('test');
</script>
<cflocation url="http://www.yahoo.com";>
.... and then hit that page, your browser will make two requests. The first
request for your test page will come back looking much like this HTTP
response:
=========================================
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:04:33 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) JRun/4.0
location: http://www.yahoo.com
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 6551
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
alert('test');
</script>
=========================================
Notice that the output of your page (the JavaScript) DOES get passed out to
the browser. However, your browser (Internet Explorer at least) will ignore
the body of the response and send out a second request for
http://www.yahoo.com.
So whether or not the code is in a CFC or not, the browser is who actually
does the redirect. Of course, if one wants the JavaScript to execute BEFORE
the redirect, you want to send back a 200 response like so:
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript">
alert('test');
document.location.href = 'http://www.yahoo.com';
</script>
