form data expired

[Jim Wells]

Is there an ultimate way to get rid of this error message when using flash
cffrom?

The form data has expired, Please reload this page in your browser.

It happens if I use the back button to browse back to a page that has cffrom
tags. The timeout attribute helps a little bit but only for a few mins no
matter what value I set it for it.

you can set the timout attribute to something reasonable.... just figure out
what is the time sensitivity of the information on the page and set the timeout

<cfform name="blah" action="thispage.cfm" timeout="30">
</cfform>

Any idea what reasonable is?

I want to use a flash login screen on a kiosk station. So a reasonable timeout for me might be 48 hours. But it doesnt work for that long.

I get this error all the time 2 minutes is the longest the form will stay in cache. 999 is the same as 99999 and neither goes more than 2 minutes even though 999 is around 15 minutes. I have tried the META tag solution: no go; I have tried the timeout='9999': no go; I have tried the cookie solution: no go. non of these really work ALL the time. Im baffled why there would be a timeout at all. Exept for SNN and credit Card stuff; my 22 forms have none of these. So I dont want a timeout. So frustrating. Any help would be great

Thanks
George

You could set a timeout to say 60 and use a javascript timer to reload page before timer hits 60. You said the META Tag did not work, did you try refresh?

Has anyone gotten the forms to work without getting the timeout message. Really these Flash/CFForms are useless without this functionality working properly
