Erm, just how is it meant to do this?
JavaScript is Client side, CF is Server side - it doesn't really know that
the user is the same one as the previous requester, so if the developer is
too lazy to pass variables to the CF server, is it meant to be psychic and
predict which of the thousands of users have which JavaScript variables -
and what if the user has JavaScript disabled? Is CF meant to know this
without checking?
CF7, the psychic platform that knows what you want before you even know
yourself... a bit of quantum programming required, and don't forget to
upgrade to Windows QT - the Quantum version of NT for Quantum machines
