My first impulse is to try something like this:
<cfif Now() is form.dateofsend>
<CFLOCATION URL="e_main.cfm" ADDTOKEN="No">
<cfelse>
other logic
</cfif>
You could also try something like this (not sure if it will work):
<cfif (form.dateofsend-Now()) is 0> <!--- alternate condition: not
(form.dateofsend-now()) -->
<CFLOCATION URL="e_main.cfm" ADDTOKEN="No">
<cfelse>
other logic
</cfif>
Or you could look into the DateDiff function to see if it will work.
You may also want to use the IsDate function, just to make sure your form
is passing a valid date:
<cfif IsDate(Form.dateofsend)>
Doh, this is probably why I'm having an error.
<cfelse>
other logic
</cfif>
And... well, this should give you a few things to look at.
