Hi all, I'm a Flex developer with just enough CF skills to be dangerous :-) and need some guidance here. My website allows users to access specific pages via a unique id/parameter such as this: http://www.scribblar.com/rooms/index.cfm?r=k3ns5 What's involved in terms of CF code to shorten this to http://www.scribblar.com/rooms/k3ns5 or even better still http://www.scribblar.com/k3ns5 I'm unsure as to how to achieve this. In case it makes a difference I am using a Windows box with IIS7.
