I would do something like this. Have a form with a hidden field that defaults a form variable (framesEnabled = false) Use Javascript to set framesEnabled = true if (self != top) Submit the form using Javascript and voila, form.framesenabled will let you know.
This is of course assuming that the user has Javascript turned on. -----Original Message----- From: Troy Montour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [mailto:Troy Montour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 10:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cf frames question Hello, sorry haven't had enough coffee this morning yet so I can't think of what to use to do this. I'm trying to detect frames which I figure javascript for that part unless theres away with cold fusion but the problem is I need cold fusion to know if there is frames and to set a global varible if there is. give you my situation maybe someone can give me an easyier solution. we have a website that sells coins but also can have dealers that sell coins and because of IE6 not excepting 3rd party cookies by default it doesn't set the dealer var and defaults to main site which is bad cause then the viewer is at the main site now and not the dealer site. so I figue if I can detect the frames then set a dealer var every page instead of passing it to every link a person can click on. but problem I'm having is CF runs before javascript so I need to figure out a way to detect the frames so I can set the dealer ID to know which dealer this is.
