Hrm... You're right. That doesn't make any sense though.

Andy, I don't think you understand how cflocation works. Even though it is a CF tag, the relocation does NOT happen on the server side. If you make a test file and place the following code in it: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript"> alert('test'); </script> <cflocation url="http://www.yahoo.com";> ..... and then hit that page, your browser will make two requests. The first request for your test page will come back looking much like this HTTP response: ========================================= HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:04:33 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) JRun/4.0 location: http://www.yahoo.com Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 6551 <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"> alert('test'); </script> ========================================= Notice that the output of your page (the JavaScript) DOES get passed out to the browser. However, your browser (Internet Explorer at least) will ignore the body of the response and send out a second request for http://www.yahoo.com. So whether or not the code is in a CFC or not, the browser is who actually does the redirect. Of course, if one wants the JavaScript to execute BEFORE the redirect, you want to send back a 200 response like so: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript"> alert('test'); document.location.href = 'http://www.yahoo.com'; </script> ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312062 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
