I would imagine its because you cannot use CFLOCATION and set cookies in the
same template. The cookie (client var) is only set AFTER the whole page has
been processed.
This may be the problem.

Subject: Weird problem setting client variable
I have the weirdest problem setting a client variable and for the live of me
I can not see where the problem is. The problem is the following:
I have a form where the user can change the language of the site, one of the
fields on the form is a select box named "NewLang", now, once the user
selects the new language the form is posted to a template (ChangeLang.cfm)
which only function is to <cfset client.lang = newlang> and then
<cflocation> to the parent template. The first line in the application.cfm
is to <cfparam> for client.lang and set it to "en" if is not defined, some
how it is always set to "en" because client.lang is not defined.
Now I know app.cfm is always executed, so before ChangeLang.cfm is executed
the client.lang is set to "en" then the template is executed and client.lang
is set to the new language and a redirection occurs to the parent template,
client.lang should contain the new language, but is not because the
<cfparam> resets it to "en".
Can somebody see where the problem is...
TIA
