I set a variable on the first creation of the cookie and checked for the
existence of it in the second conditional statement, if It exists then I am
not running the second block of code. Good idea...Bad idea...?
So now it reads
<!---IF OUR COOKIE IS NOT SET, SET IT NOW --->
<cfif not isDefined('cookie.testCookie') AND isDefined('form.test')>
<CFCOOKIE name="testCookie" value="#form.test#" expires="never">
<!---IS THIS OUR FIRST TIME THROUGH?--->
<cfset firstTime = 1>
</cfif>
<!---IF OUR COOKIE IS SET AND THE LEN IS LT 6, ADD TO IT--->
<cfif isDefined('cookie.testCookie') AND listLen(cookie.testCookie, ",") LT
6 AND isDefined('form.test') AND not isDefined("firstTime")>
<cfset searchList = listAppend(cookie.testCookie, form.test, ",")>
<CFCOOKIE name="testCookie" value="#searchList#" expires="never">
</cfif>

Subject: Cookie & list help please
> Please check out the below code, I would like to show users a previous
search history and everything seems to work ok except that on the first time
through it appends the seach phrase twice. I understand why it is happening,
(due to the 2nd conditional statement) but cannot figure out a better way.
Maybe someone can test it out for me, and give me a pointer. Thanks a
bunch!!!
