Trying to get window.opener in CF

[LarrySteele]

I want to get the window.opener while processing CF - not after the page loads. Hence, not JavaScript because intent is to use the value in a cfif block.

I've Googled, asked, and read. So far no joy. Hoping someone knows way to pull information for a cfif block.

TIA,
Larry

Usually I try simple tests before I post, but not this time...

<cfif 1 eq 1>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        alert('hello');
    </script>
</cfif>

I don't know if I needed to wrap the JavaScript with cfif tags, but figured wrapping the script in some cf tag my force server side to process client side (or so I hoped).

Turns out it's a moot issue. The desired opener is from a different domain and JavaScript is not allowed access to the window.opener from a different domain. Makes sense when I read that considering what I can do with window.opener.document!

avaScript is not allowed access to the window.opener from a different domain.

Even if it were not, CF runs on the server and javascript on the client, and 'never the twain shall meet' ;-)
