If I recall correctly, the MM recommended naming scheme for CF 4.01 would work fine here - use the concatenation of CFID and CFTOKEN. > OTOH, race conditions within session scope are probably > going to be rarer because they can only occur if you > have multiple windows or frames open with the same > session data I think that you can run into contention issues without multiple windows or frames within the session scope, but they do tend to be rare. I've seen situations where it appeared that heavy server load, fast network connections, and CFLOCATION would cause the same sort of problem. > (frames are evil, in my opinion, so I'm not very > sympathetic to people who get into a session > integrity mess when they use frames! :) s/frames/Flash ? Technology is ... technology. Poorly-implemented technology is bad, but that's not an argument against the technology itself. I've seen plenty of cases where frames enhanced the functionality of a web application.
