For some reason the page works exactly as it should in Firefox but in IE as soon as I open it, I get a CF error.


I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it:


Any idea?

IE sucks!!




This is one of the bigger problems I have with IE. I would LOVE to use cgi.http_referer so much more than I can. IE does share that information in certain circumstances. I think it is the "post" form method and in SSL environments. Oh, also, IE only registers a referring URL if it is actually clicked (thats it, now I remember). Try playing with it to see if you can make it work with a text link - even if it is not the functionality you want - just to prove/disprove the theory. But I think it has to do with a physical click. I've even tried to make javascript "click" the link/button with no success.

Hope that helps. If you find a solution, please DO SHARE!!!

I guess I fixed it... I commented a lot of his code. The guy doesn't know how to program CF but somehow is able to create complicated SQL queries with sub-queries.

The guy had the navigation to the page setup so that if you come from a certain page of the site you view a certain thing on the page and if you didn't come from a page on the site, error occurred...

I set it up so that it doesn't matter where you come from, all that matters is where you are!!!

I'm still curious to know if the application you are working off of ever worked across browsers?

I recall not being able to get consistent results from that technique.

Doesn't seem like this guy's technique worked because I've tested his site before any mods were made and I got the same error...
