[thelist] JavaScript variable into CF variable

[Rory.Plaire at wahchang.com]

| I think the JavaScript method (window.location.href) might be

| 
| <script>
|      var BaseRef = window.location.href;
| </script>

| I'd like to use the variable BaseRef somewhere else in that page,
| possibly as a CF variable. Any suggestions how I can do this?

Hi Minh,

If you want to use a JS variable as a CF variable, you need another trip to
the server. You might write the variable value to a hidden form element and
pass this to the server. This could be accomplished by hidden frames, or a
refresh, or, with IE only, using WDDX and the MSXML object to pass the value
to the CF server as an XML document.

If you ask my opinion, this is all somewhat heavy for a simple 404...

What about just a document.write?
