really the best way is to have a server side structure that hold the urls. Not sure if you can do anything about history though, if the browser has been there it knows where it has been. Does cfcontent take care of the history issue.
Other issues with my earlier solution are using browser security options to be notified about all cookies and hence have a chance to see what's in them. Just trying to make life easier, back to the drawing board. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Hornbaker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 9:54 PM Subject: RE: [KCFusion] Hidden URL's > I'm probably missing something, but won't the user be able to view the URL > in the browser history?
