I appreciate the feedback received on this and some of the ensuing discussion.
On the technical side, it was a cfajaximport tag on which it failed. But as I mentioned earlier, it still failed when that tag was removed. Thanx to one suggestion I got it to work by moving the entire cfwindow up (but still inside the body tag). I had already looked at all those articles that have been mentioned and none of them did a thing or applied to my case. But I appreciate the suggestions because if I hadn't done my research before posting, that would have given me more useful things to do. FWIW, I have been there and done that too (been a programmer for nearly 50 years) so I believe I'm qualified to participate in the discussion about giving help. My concern is that on any number of posts I read, I have found some responders who prefer to give technique advice rather than deal with the issue at hand. Yes, I know that some folks need that, but often the tone of the response comes across like I'm smarter than you. If the responder had the sensitivity to phrase their words like "you may already know this, but what you are doing is no longer considered best practice in the industry" it would be a lot easier to handle. But derailing a thread into a discussion of what is a better practice rarely helps get the issue solved in short term. On the specific issue of the CF UI stuff, I agree that most of it is poor. I have wasted numerous hours myself and thrown away things like cfgrid. Fortunately, apart from the differences from CF8 to CF9, the cwindow code has been excellent in my apps so I am in no hurry to rewrite all that code. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358609 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
