Sure, I'll clarify...
I've got quite a few apps out there on our intranet that use the whole
db-driven client var thingy; but they do have different var names an'
what-not. Actually, the var names themselves probably ain't the issue, cuz'
I'm using structures, and I turn 'em all into a big WDDX packet, and
store/retrieve the packet.
In my app, I've seen two different events that trigger the occasional error:
One is when a user pops open multiple instances of IE and they do different
things within an application. The other is when I intentionally fire off
multiple instances of IE; in particular, when a user wants to buy items from
a pre-selected list.
Even if I re-wrote the multiple-purchase part so it didn't spawn multiple
instances; I'd still have to contend with the users who just, as a matter of
personal preference, like to work with multiple instances.
I do believe the problem can be tracked down to a bad design on my behalf,
but before I believe that I've actually developed something bad, I figure I
might check if somebody else has seen this sort of thing before.
One thing I'm thinking, I wonder if there is some option available to force
CF to generate a new URLTOKEN when a new instance of the browser is spawned.
Somehow, I doubut it, though; since the server ain't gonna know of a new
browser instance until the browser actually sends something to the server.
I'm gonna have to think this one out for a bit; I'm sure I'm not the first
person to jump this hurdle...
