Thanks to all those who helped.
Allaire's docs do seem a little ambiguous when they say that CFID and CFTOKEN can be
passed as hidden form fields - I now see that URLTOKEN can be passed as a URL variable
to the action page that your form submits to. Interesting post on this at
http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=308908&_#Message385663
I also tried the following technique:
<CFSCRIPT>
if (IsDefined("Form.CFID") AND IsDefined("Form.CFTOKEN"))
{
url.cfid=form.cfid;
url.cftoken=form.cftoken;
}
</CFSCRIPT>
which I found at
http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=569454&_#Message569454, with
no success. Anyone else tried this technique and succeeded? A similar sort of thing is
described at
http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=336048&_#Message336048.
In the end, we have decided to use CFID and CFTOKEN on the URL, together with randomly
generated hidden form fields as a further means of identification.
