Subject: [KCFusion] displaying a message to the user
Hi all. Here's my latest trial. I feel like I am so close, but I just
can't quite figure it out. I have a login prompt. When the use does not
log in properly, the action page directs the browser back to the login
prompt. I want to display a message to the user based on what they did
wrong. For example, if the user left the password field blank, I want the
message to say, "No password supplied". I expect that I would want to
populate a variable within CFIF statement that evaluates what the user did
incorrect and reference that value on the calling page so that when it is
reloaded, if it is defined, the message is displayed. I just can't seem to
figure out what type of variable can be populated by an action page and
returned to a calling page. Do I have to use session variables? Thank you
so much.
Jered
