OK, I'm stumped. I know this post may be a bit long, but if you have good
experience with CFLOCATION, *please* help me out here. I'm going crazy!
I've been using forms that submit to themselves for a long time now. Nothing
tricky: form submits to itself, detect the name of the submit button, run
the form processing code, and then CFLOCATE back to the main page:
<cfif IsDefined("form.next")>
<!--- form processing code here --->
<cflocation url="mainpage.cfm" addToken="no">
</cfif>
Here's my problem. I have code that executes after the above piece of code
which displays the form (because the submit button hasn't been pressed yet).
However, I'm finding that a custom tag call that I make after the above CFIF
block is executing before the page is CFLOCATed to the main page. For
example:
<cfif IsDefined("form.next")>
<!--- form processing code here --->
<cflocation url="mainpage.cfm" addToken="no">
</cfif>
<cf_customtag>
This results in the custom tag executing, even though the form.next button
is defined and the code within that block is definitely processing.
My question is: Why is the custom tag executing? Shouldn't the page stop
processing after the cflocation call? If I put a CFABORT directly after the
CFLOCATION call *within* the CFIF block, the custom tag still executes.
However, if I place the CFABORT above the custom tag call, but *outside* of
the CFIF block, the page properly CFLOCATEs and the custom tag is not
called.
Another test I ran was to put the form display code (with the custom tag) in
a CFELSE block, but the custom tag *still* executed even though form.next is
defined:
<cfif IsDefined("form.next")>
<!--- form processing code here --->
<cflocation url="mainpage.cfm" addToken="no">
<cfelse>
<cf_customtag>
<!--- rest of form display code here --->
</cfif>
Man I'm stumped. Does this have to do with the inner workings of the
CFLOCATION tag and the HTTP redirect header? I'm using CF 4.5.2 on Solaris
using Apache 1.3.6. The crazy part is that the page is properly CFLOCATing,
but that custom tag is still executing.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
