This is indirectly related to CFMX in several ways, here's one. The CFMX administrator uses a Java applet in several places to browse the file structure, for example, mappings. The applet seems to work OK, displaying the directory tree and expanding/collapsing folders.
However, when you hit the "Apply" button to chose the selected Directory path, you get the following JavaScript error: Error: document.TreeControl.currentPath is not a function Source File: http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/settings/mappings.cfm Line: 132 I have shown all the pieces, below. The trouble does not appear to be with the applet. Rather, it appears that JavaScript is not treating the method: currentPath in the Java applet as a function. Since I don't have the source for MM's Java applet, I tried a similar construct with Java applets downloaded from several sites (where I did have the source). They all failed on 3 different browsers; IE 5.2, NN 7.0, Chimera 0.6 (Mac OS X). The error is similar to the error in the CFMX Administrator. appletname.methodname is not a function. The method that the JavaScript was trying to invoke was defined in the applet similar to (from one applet): public void changeString(String aString) { sText = aString; repaint(); } And the JavaScript statement, causing the error, similar to: appletname.changeString('Hello There'); (where applet was the name from the applet tag). Apparently, JavaScript has a bug -- but on three different browsers? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Dick Below is the code from the CFMX Administrator Mappings frame. The relevant parts of the source code are: The JavaScript function -- the first statemement in the function causes the JavaScript error (unterlined) <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function GetSelectedPath() { document.FileDialogForm.newDirectoryPath.value = document.TreeControl.currentPath("/"); ------------------------------------- document.FileDialogForm.submit(); } //--> The Java applet definition: <applet archive="../classes/cfadmin.jar" code="allaire.cfide.CFNavigationApplet" width=325 height=275 name="TreeControl"> <param name="ApplicationClass" value="allaire.cfide.CFNavigation"> <param name="ShowFiles" value="No"> <param name="Extensions" value=""> <param name="DefaultPath" value=""> <param name="ServerCaption" value=""> <param name="Border" value="Yes"> <param name="VScroll" value="Yes"> <param name="passkey" value="581a452e21"> <param name="OS" value="UNIX"> This applet displays a file-tree of the server to enable the user to browse its contents.
