Guys need your help...
this is a pretty high profile piece of work which needs to be done for
Monday so would really appreciate any advice
i am a bit stuck on a funny that is occurring.....
- we have a form where a user can log in to the Westminster website
- user enters username password then submits form
- goes to action page, does query to check if user exists in DB
- the next piece of code basically writes a cookie to the client machine
with the 'customerid' retrieved in query
- then straight after does a <CFLOCATION> to the main home-page which tests
for presence of cookie
-- the problem is that the cookie is not being written on to the user's
machine so that the homepage does not recognise them
-- however, if I take out the <CFLOCATION> tag - the cookie gets written OK
-- it is almost as if the page is redirecting to new URL before the cookie
has time to be written - does that sound feasible??
-- is there any way to make the code pause to allow cookie to write before
redirecting or any other solution to this????
CODE IS:
<cfoutput>Start Cookie</cfoutput>
<cfcookie name="customerid"
value="#pwdcheck.customerid#"
expires="NEVER"
domain=".westminster.gov.uk">
<cfoutput><br>End Cookie</cfoutput>
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
/>
<cflocation url="http://www1.westminster.gov.uk/preprod-test-index.cfm";>
