RE: Weird, inconsistent browser behavior
OK, the client has cookies turned on. I'm setting session vars and am now using location.href to redirect them immediately after that. I'm not attaching URLTOKEN, but if cookies are on it's my understanding that that's not necessary. -Original Message- From: UXB Internet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 3:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Weird, inconsistent browser behavior Session vars and client vars rely on either cookies or URL variables to keep track of state.

RE: Weird, inconsistent browser behavior
So if they're not allowing cookies - problem solved. If cookies are working fine, then you should be checking to see if the session vars are being set before cflocation exectutes. In some situations, these vars won't be set properly (or at all!!).
