regarding coldfusion url

[audrey denise]

hi, i have a program (but it is not me who created it) and it is created using
coldfusion and dreamweaver. I have to link it to my visual basic application,
but i've done it already using shell that calls the url of the specific
webpage. Now my problem is that the coldfusion program has only one URL,
eventhough you're in a different page, the URL doesn't change.. So anyone who
knows about this? please help me.. thank you very much!

This probably means that your site is in a frameset, which means while the page is changing the displayed URL is not. This is really a HTML issue. What is the actual problem?

Does the URL have the word "fuseaction" in it?

Please post a sample url. So far, there's not much for us to help you with.

hi simon, thanks for the response.. the URL is in index form..
[url]http://macromedia/index.cfm[/url] (example only).. for example when i click a button,
a new page displays, but the URL doesnt.. my common perception regarding web
applications is that when a new page displays, it should be a different URL
name.. for example, if the main page has an extension name, main.cfm, so when
you click the products button, the page displays a different URL extension
name, products.cfm.. that's how i create web applications.. my problem also is
the owner of the program doesnt want to give me the source codes, so i
definitely won't be able to understand how the program works.. i read a lot
regarding coldfusion, i think the coldfusion program uses parameters.. i'm
really new in coldfusion so i really dont know how it works.. cud you help me?
i do have a book, coldfusion tutorial, so i'm learning quite a little.. but its
more of retreiving databases.. one more thing the coldfusion application that
im saying dont have a database, its more of clicking and displaying videos..
thank you very much simon i really appreciated your response.. =)

hi mike, no it doesnt have "fuseaction".. just plain url..

Without the source code you are going to be a bit stumped. How do you expect to
add functionality to the site without access to it?

As for the URL not changing that seems to me like the frameset option I
mentioned before. When you place your mouse pointer over a link have a look at
the link in the status bar.

i know that's my problem.. so my goal for now is to do an application just like that.. so that i could learn how it is created..

You can also do view source when the index page is loaded to see how the
framesets are laid out. Once you know the frame layout then you can right
click on the area of interest and view page source to better understand the
HTML that is generated. You'll see the URLs and how the site navigates.
