Hi,

i have written follwing code in coldfusion page

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script>
function test()
{
location.href='test1.cfm';
}

</head>

</body>
</html>

while excuting this page cflocation url is excuting first not javascript url why this happens?

Advance thanks

The javascript runs when the html body loads. However, it never loads because the the cflocation tag is before the closing body tag.

CFML runs on the CF server long before the mark-up gets sent to the client browser. Indeed in this case, no mark-up gets sent to the borser because as soon as CF encounters the <cflocation> it sends a redirect response to the client browser, which is done solely by sending a HTTP header, with no content at all.
