Hi all,
A client needed to have content routed in certain folders based on US
states. Now, I know a bunch of you are not from the US, but I thought I
would share this code with you all, perhaps someone can reuse it in some
way. It is pretty simple and made very easy by FU. After my vacation
next week I will have some more code I would like to share. Thus far an
ATM/Bank Locator and a User Form review utility.
Anyhow, this file is essentially called in as an include into the root
of a folder and then pushes the user to section, based on state.
Here is the "Content Router".

</cfif <!---test for cookie (end)--->>
</cfoutput>

Not complicated, just some raw code. It gets the job done.
