I'm sure as everyone knows, there's at least 15 different ways to do the same thing in coldfusion, some ways execute quicker, some are shorter in length, some are just *out there*, but all seem to give the same results.
I try to give advise that I believe executes the quickest and most efficient. (like mr. housers book :) So if we both have the same idea, but two different ways to do it, it doesn't mean one way is wrong, or one way is right. If your way works better then what I've always done, I'll note it, and use it from that day on. Anyways, enough blabbering, it's bed time, oh, after I answer that question that just popped up :) ______________________ steve oliver atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Paul Giesenhagen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 12:29 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: simple question - how do you manually time out a session variable Funny you said that ..> I almost added that to the bottom of the post .. :) No problem!
