Thanks Dick. You confirmed my thinking. I'm fairly new at this but seem to
be on the right track. I was hoping to use the JavaScript results on my
first page, so will have to put in a blank processing page with a
window.location="URL" to pass the results to my first page. If I could only
figure how to get the same results using only CF. I understand that there
are some custom tags for finding "browser info and IP address" but the
company hosting my site is rather slow in letting me know if those tags are
installed or not. Is there any other way to do it in CF?
I'm glad I joined this list.
