RE: CFLOCATION, but with a form
Well yes, you could use those other mechanisms to hand off the data, or push it into a db table, but that's not really what I'm trying to think about. Is there a form equivalent to the http mechanism used by cflocation, where the server side generates info that gets passed to a new page? Semi-relevant: cfhttp can submit a form with specified data to a specified url, but the whole thing happens on the server, without the browser relocating anywhere. What I'm looking for is just like that, but navigating the browser to that submitted pg.

Re: CFLOCATION, but with a form
Without javascript involved or using GetPageContext().Forward() ( read: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/382-Is-ColdFusion-s-GetPageContext-Forward-Method-Worth-Using-.htm), then I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for.

What I'm looking for is just like that, but navigating the browser to that submitted pg. Dave Merrill I am not seeing how this mechanism would work. You want the server to build a request for the client so that the client ends up somewhere else by submitting a form post? This sounds like a mixing of the server/client - request/response schema. cflocation... generates a response to the client request. This is a response (HTTP status 301 IIRC) that the client recognizes. Most browsers then handle this response by sending a new request to the suggested location. But of course they do not have to do this. There are no responses that I know of that suggests the browser to make a new form post request. I have done something like this in the ancient past (10 years ago) by building an HTML form with a JavaScript auto-submit that is sent to the browser. Of course this may not be looked on too friendly in todays environment and would be easily defeated. Bottom line: NO I know of no way to do this and it does not make sense to me from a client/server perspective. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295052 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: CFLOCATION, but with a form
Ian, that's exactly what I was looking for, a server response that asks the browser to submit a form, the form analog of what cflocation does. It doesn't surprise me that no such thing exists.
