Back when I was learning cold fusion I did a tag called roaming sessions
that would allow you to do this if you were using session variables. I
wanted a way to use session variables in a clustered environment, without
resorting to "sticky" sessions.Its available on the tag gallery. The code
is a bit messy and could stand to be cleaned up and optimized a bit. It also
used hidden forms but could easily be modified to use javascript to append
the necessary wddx packet to a url instead. Its free, so go ahead and try
it.
