You're most welcome. Probably a more complete solution for a high-bandwidth site would be to include the date-and-time stamp as well as the random number. How it works: All caching mechanisms (browsers, proxies, web servers, application servers) must assume that changed parameters on a dynamic page's URL will result in differing output. Therefore, each URL being unique will force the request to be re-processed each time. I mean could you imagine how bad it would look if you searched in google "...?query=dogs" and it returned a previous set of results about cats? hehe *bows* - Peter -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 October 2003 16:07 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Data piping Right then Peter, you've won yourself an all expenses paid trip to an explanation as to why in the hell that works :OD Oh, and thank you as well :O) Ade -- Code that works -- <script> function download() { randomNumber = Math.random(); pipeImage.src = "http://somedomain.com/file.cfm?random="; + randomNumber; }; </script> -----Original Message----- From: Peter Harrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 October 2003 15:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Data piping Would a varying request string force the re-request? ... blah.src = "page.cfm?random=" + nRandomNumer; ... - Peter -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 October 2003 15:50 To: Cfug Dev List (E-mail) Subject: [ cf-dev ] Data piping I'm trying to run a cfm page using the src attribute of an image tag but for some reason, the change of source doesn't cause the cfm page to be run. -- JavaScript Function -- function test() { pipeImage.src = "page.cfm"; // also tried document.images["pipeImage"].src = "page.cfm"; // and creating a new image object in place of the above } -- Image tag -- <img name="pipeImage" src="../gif/trans.gif" /> -- Events -- <a href="somewhere.cfm" onclick="test();" /> or <input type="button" name="myButton" value="press me" onclick="test(); /> If I call the cfm page straight away from an image tag without any change to the src attribute I get the correct update in the DB, but changing it in a function called via an event doesn't seem to want to work. Does anyone have any pointers on how to get this to work. I don't want any data passed back to the browser so setting of cookies and then reading them as per some tutorials I've read isn't needed.
