So I’m writing an experiment program. One of the steps include querying an entry to see if people are ready to move on. I’m more used to PHP, so a “” always did the trick. However, with Coldufusion the following page [posted on Pastebin at the bottom of the page] runs through once, does the meta refresh, and than the cookie dies.

So with flags, I see that the cookie exsited during the first run around, but second and so forth, the cookie dies and brigns the entire experiment to a halt.

So my question is does Coldfusion’s cfcookies randomly die after a meta refresh? If so, is there a ColdFusion workaround?

The page with the problem : http://pastebin.com/1BJLahHZ

The page that pulls information from a form and stores it into a cookie : http://pastebin.com/ekP5Ea0U

*The timer on the cookie is two hours [timer = createTimeSpan(0,2,0,0)] so I am pretty sure it’s not that.

Thanks ahead.

    Cookie won’t ever get set when you use <cflocation url="http://cbees-dev/newTR3/wait.cfm"> as this occurs before the page is loaded and rendered to the client, thus the cookie is never set.

    Use javascript instead.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    location.href='http://cbees-dev/newTR3/wait.cfm';
</script>
