[thelist] CGI & Cold Fusion

[Raymond Camden]

I don't believe it's possible. You could always set a cookie on one page
and test it on another, but the user could fool you by then turning
their cookies off.

Do NOT do this:

<cfset cookie.foo = 1>
<cfif isDefined("cookie.foo")>

Since it will always be true, even if cookies are turned off. (However,
if you do the isdefined check on a separate request, it will return
false.)
