refresh app

[dandev]

I have a url variable to initiate my app

<cfif isDefined("url.init")>
<!---init the app--->
</cfif>

Now I want to invoke this without having to pop open a window. I tried <cfhttp url="site.com?init=1" /> but it doesn't seam to work.

Anyone have a suggestion?[

I dont know if this would work for what your doing or not but have you thought about maybe when you pop open the window you open a page with cflocation and pull the querystring from the url and then have the page redirect via CF?

Just a thought

Good luck 🙂

thats the thing, I don't want to open a window most browsers will block it and I can't redirect.

Your question is not clear. In your first post you say you want to pop open a window and in your 2nd you say you don't.

sorry I don't want that. I want to do this in the background, which is why I thought cfhttp but it doesn't work.

Try a 1 pixel by 1 pixel iframe.

thanks Dan, a 1 pixel iframe did the trick.

try sending the URL variable in a <cfhttpparam> tag

<cfhttp URL=" http://www.foo.com/index.cfm">
<cfhttpparam type="URL" name="init" value="1" />
</cfhttp>

honestly, i'm not sure if that's even any different than simply sending the URL var in the <cfhttp> tag like you originally tried...but might be worth a shot.
