IMG -> URL for tracking 1

[Bramvg]

Hi,

If I'm not wrong I remembered a post of someone in the past that described how you could 'open' an image to do some website tracking:
e.g.:
<img src=&quot;tracking.cfm?page=5&amp;user=6>

I can't find the message in the list and the SEARCH function is not working, unfortunately.

I tried it myself but it doesn't work, I created 2 pages:
page1: included: <img src=&quot;tracking.cfm?page=5&amp;user=6>
Page2: contained ONLY a insert statement which had to read these 2 parameters: Page and User.

It would 'recognize' them and take them out of the URL and insert them in my tracking table.

So far the theory, but not the real time ;-)

Does anyone know what I mean and can help me out with this?

Tnx !!!
Bram

Hey Bram,

I think this is the post you're referencing. I think the part you're missing is using the <cfcontent> tag to return an actual image.

Hi GJ,

First of all: THANK YOU AGAIN.
You're tips were always (well, so far ;-) ) very helpful to me.

You know what the problem was? I'm almost afraid to tell you, but I entered: IMG SCR instead of IMG SRC .... ;-)

I know, baaad ;-)

Tnx again
ciao
