Thanks, Dave. I fixed the code per your suggestion, but did not get a different result. I can still see the messages in Fiddler, even a ColdFusion error(I know, not good), but all the browser displays is the transition page. I think THAT is the real problem. Although the script throws errors, this page is still showing, and there is no event to load the page throwing the error. Does that make sense? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
