Browser Redirection
At
times, you may wish to redirect a user’s browser to
a location other than the current template. This is generally handled
using the cflocation tag. The following example
creates a drop-down box listing several web sites. Choosing one of

uses the cflocation tag to redirect the user to
the selected web site.
<cfif IsDefined(form.Go')>
<cflocation URL="http://#form.Goto#" addtoken="No">
</cfif>
<h2>Please choose a location:</h2>
<cfoutput>
<form action="#CGI.Script_Name#" method="Post">
