Are these three different requests? (i.e. they submit the form, and the verification page is run, then another HTTP request takes them to the menu page?) If not, your problem might be trying to set and access the cookies on the same page. Take another look at your app structure and make sure there's a request between setting cookies and reading them.
Also, I don't think you're gaining anything by clearing and setting cookies on the same page, or by locking form variables. -----Original Message----- From: Langford, Bryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 12:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cookies and the old switcharoo Hey everyone, I am having a problems where I have created a log in page for representatives to take a test. The page creates rep cookies that, by the time the menu page is reached, have jumbled each client's variables to someone else's. For example, Steve and John and Sally log in and hit the menu page and the menu page displays johns name on Sally's computer, Sally might also display "Sally" and and Steve has himself too. But as you can tell this makes for terrible inserts and test taking. So I am looking for some suggestions... here is the code: ------------ Log on Page --------------------------- <cfform action="repverification.cfm" method=post> <h1>Please enter the following information:</h1> <p> <br> <table width="75%" border="0"> <tr> <td width="14%">Name: </td> <td width="86%"> <cfinput type=text name="RepName" size=20 required="Yes" message="please enter your name"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="14%">ID:</td> <td width="86%"> <CFinput type=text name="RepID" maxlength="5" message="Your ID must be 5 digits in length" size=20 required="Yes"> <b>(First 5 digits of SSN.)</b> </td> </tr> </table> <p><br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </cfform> ------------ This is the verification page's code: -------------- <cfapplication name="PerfTrack"sessionmanagement="Yes"> <cfcookie name="repname" expires="NOW"> <cfcookie name="repid" expires="NOW"> <cflock name="repvars" timeout="60" throwontimeout="Yes" type="EXCLUSIVE"> <CFcookie NAME="repname" VALUE="#form.repname#" EXPIRES="2" > <CFcookie NAME="repid" VALUE="#form.repid#" EXPIRES="2" > </cflock> ---- and the menu just displays their name, this is a basic example so as to pare you a lot of verifying ---- <cfoutput> Welcome Back #cookie.repname# your ID is #cookie.repid# #cookie.cftoken# </cfoutput> Any help would be VERY appreciated.
