Sorry if this is too off-topic, but I'm not sure if I'm walking into a problem here .....
I don't know a lot about .net - yet - but looks like I'm going to have to do a crash course. I'm going to have to build some coldfusion content and have it blend in seamlessly with pages built in .net. This means (I guess) snagging headers and footers off the .net pages and using them on my coldfusion pages. But I see at the top of the .net pages a huge hidden field full of gobbldegook along the lines of: <.input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="dDNzcxNTgzODk7dDw7bDxpPD [heaps of similar stuff snipped] YW5lbF8yMTpMb2dpbjs+PpRdTxH61yuZQYMB0MBggZHj+OAg" /> I'm guessing from the name "_VIEWSTATE" that it contains the information about the user's state and the page - but is this something I need to know much about or can I just copy and paste it from a typical page and put it in my header.cfm file? What does this big field do?
