Hmmm...I was not aware of this.  I don't know if we're hitting thatr limit
or not.  Is there any rhyme or reason to which one(s) would get dropped?  Is
it the last modified, perhaps?

Not just that variable, but ALL client variables for that user.  So if you
are setting more than one client variable, it would be the length of all the
data in all the client variables per user.

For instance, if a user has one client variable with a length of 60000 and
another client variable with a length of 10000, that would cause one to end
up undefined.

Also, it's a non-issue if you are on MX, I believe.

Unfortunately this can't be the problem...it's just a simple date/time (ie
#now()#)

I ran into a client var disappearing in the past.  I believe that pre-MX CF
had a 65000 length limit on the total data per client, and when it was
exceded a client variable would become undefined.

What is the total length of the values of all your client variables?

Subject: Loss of CLIENT variables due to empty quotes in an HTML tag?

I tried sending this last night, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the
list, so here it is again...

I've just spent hours trying to figure out what's causing some really
bizarre issues with SOME of the client-scoped variables set in an
application I'm running to disappear.  We've been trying to nail down at
what point they disappear, and it's very elusive.

The weirdest part of it all is that we've narrowed the cause of this to four
lines of code in a page that you land on after logging in (which sets a
number of these client variables).  These lines of code were four <td>s each
of which contains an <img> tag with an empty src attribute (ie. src="").  If
we remove these four lines, everything works fine.  If we put them back in,
on any kind of page refresh or clicking on any link at all, our script which
checks for the existence of CLIENT.lastAccess and checks to see if it's more
than x minutes old triggers because client.lastaccess doesn't exist
anymore.I can verify that the very last line of my ONREQUESTEND.CFM file
sets and displays CLIENT.lastAccess just fine.

I'm not aware of HTML throwing errors or having a problem with empty quotes,
nor am I aware of ColdFusion having any such problem (empty quotes in HTML
tags, not CF tags).  We've crawled every line of code being run through the
whole process, and haven't been able to determine anything else.  Just that
if we remove those lines of code with the img tags in it, or put anything at
all inside those quotes, everything works fine.

Anyone able to shed some light on this situation?
