Well, to be clear, Craig was referring to a (quite old) Flash Form based feature. I don't know if it would be fair to throw all CF "widgets" under the bus. There have been some nicer ones since the Ajax features were added in CF 8. Still, I realize that some may still have issues with them.
As for Troy's comment, I don't think he was suggesting that the page timeout would have any connection to this, just that he thought it was specified in ms. (It's not, that's in seconds, too.) And FWIW, I would assert that there's not likely any connection at all between the page timeout and this CFFORM timeout. The page timeout has to do with how long a request can run (while it's executing). This CFFORM timeout seems instead to be more like a mini version of a session, in that it lives on the server across requests. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Ross Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Preserving data on flash forms using the timeout attribute Not to be a jerk or anything but this is EXACTLY why I don't use any of the built in "CF_" widgets... Not trying to troll here but, since the discussion happened a few months back I'd thought I'd just throw that out there. Stuff like this seems to happen a lot and fixing it takes longer than rebuilding... I think Troy is probably on the right track, check the page timeout.

I could also be wrong, like I said, it was just a thought and a place to look.

Anyway, to be clear, the timeout in CFFORM is indeed in seconds: http://www.cfquickdocs.com/cf9/#cfform /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Troy Jones > Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 12:06 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Preserving data on flash forms using the timeout > attribute > > I see that your value is 'timeout="300"'.
