You can structure your application to work correctly by understanding the limitations of the stateless nature of internet applications and realize there is no one-to-one relations with the actions of the client and the reactions of the server. Barney gave one example of working within this limitation. You can use client side scripting to *try* and control some of the capabilities of the client. But these are limited, easily circumvented and can really tick off users who often do not like their client systems monkeyed with by uppity developers. You can go beyond the client-server stateless nature of HTTP requests on move into something that has state and gives you this type of control such as Flash/Flex/Air APIs. OR You can write your own browser/client application and then distribute this to all your users of your application and only allow your browser to work with your intranet application. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316505 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
