Make sure that cgi.http_referer exists before you try to set it. This is a var created by the web server NOT cf ... so it may or may not reliably exist. Also make sure this code is AFTER your cfapplication tag.
On your own system try hitting the page after a cf restart. You may be trying to access the session before you have established a session. The reason it works on local is because during coding you established a session at some previous point. That's all I got :) -Mark Mark Kruger - CFG CF Webtools www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com O: 402.932.3318 E: [email protected] Skype: markakruger -----Original Message----- From: funand learning [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2013 3:08 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Element undefined in SESSION scope I am just setting up a variable to capture cgi.http_referer. <cfset session.referer = cgi.http_referer>. Initially, the variable was set up as <input type="hidden" name="referer" value="#CGI.http_referer#"> This variable is defined on a form, which submits to itself. I want to capture the initial cgi.http_referer value when the user first lands on the form and save it to database upon successful submission, hence was using hidden value. Recent security scanning has identified the input form variable for XSS, and hence I am changing it to a session value.
