cold fusion communicates with asp

[anitalulu]

does anybody know how to communicate with asp page when i using cold fusion page?

I want to pass some variables in cold fusion to asp page.
Can I do this?

You can pass variables from CF to ASP using Form and URL variables in the same way that you do in CF.

Form:

<form action=&quot;index.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;something&quot; value=&quot;asdf&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Go Go ASP&quot;>
</form>

this will pass the form variable something to the ASP page called index.asp.

You can use the URL in the same way:

<CFLOCATION URL=&quot;index.asp?Something=asdf&quot;>

Would pass the variable something along the URL to the ASP page index.asp.

or going back to the form example above you could append a URL variable to the end of the action attribute like this:

<form action=&quot;index.asp?Something=asdf&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>

Hope this helps!

I can't put the variable into the URL. Because it is the username and password.

Any suggestion?

You can set a cookie. As long as the CFM and ASP pages are executed in the same domain (e.g. mydomain.com) you will be able to read cookies set with CFM using ASP and vice-versa.

You are right. I can set the cookies for both CFM and ASP. However, how can I delete the cookies in CFM and ASP?

To delete a cookie in CF:

<cfcookie name=&quot;mycookie&quot; expires=&quot;NOW&quot;>

To delete a cookie in ASP:

Response.Cookies("mycookie") = ""
