  Posted on Sep 22, 2011 at 6:46 PM

  I'm sure this has been considered but why not just write the now() to a session then a flush and another one at the end of the page and then do a date/time compare?

  It's been a while since this discussion was updated. I'm just curious what you're using now? I love HS but feel like I should switch just because its so old. I've tried Eclipse and hate it (mostly due to the FTP issues) and just tried the beta for CF Builder/Bolt but that expired so waiting for t... read more »
