Exception thrown and not caught - is back
Hello CF-Talk, When I try to implement the following tutorial I get the dreaded error Exception Thrown and Not Caught in IE.

OT: SQL Full-Text Searching
CF8 and MS SQL 2000 I would like to implement Google-esque searching on our Intranet against our database. To do this I enabled Full-Text on the table I want to search (customers) and use a query like this: SELECT * FROM Customer where CONTAINS (*, ' search ') This works somewhat but one problem I am having is that: John Doe will not locate a record where firstname=John and lastname=Doe. It does find [EMAIL PROTECTED] however. Both behaviors I find odd. Does anyone know either how to correct the inability to find that record or a better way of doing this all together? BTW, we will be upgrading to MS SQL 2008 in a few months, maybe that has some built in capability that will make this easy? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295186 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: CFGRID in CFWINDOW behind CFLAYOUT

Everything loads fine, but I have a cfgrid in a cfwindow off of a page using cflayout. When you drag the window up into the browser, the cfgrid in the popup gets hidden behind the cflayout.

RE: Multple CFWINDOWS - cannot identify - 2nd try
Sorry if I seem silly or not to be thinking straight.
Although I do have a programming background, I am rather new to Javascript
and AJAX techniques. The function naming is the result of an attempt at
solving the problem -but it didn't work. Ideally all the CFWINDOWs would
all go through a *single* event handler and the name of the window could be
retrieved via the object. This doesn't seem possible from what I have seem
so far. ob.name gives you nothing. So next, I decided to do separate event
handlers for each object. Unfortunately there is no way via pure javascript
to see which windows by name happen to be open or not. So you will get an
error when you try to getWindowObject on a window that might not be open. I
suppose I could use CF to conditionally generate javascript code, but I do
wish I could just query this all via Javascript.
Again, a single event handler with access to the name of the window would be
ideal - I am amazed that this isn't possible. When working with windows it
seems to me the ability to say DoesWindowExist() and get Window.name()
should be part of the basic functionality. Of course, I could still be
missing something.

I must admit, either your not thinking straight or you are plan being silly.
The answer is in your code, every window has a name. So why not do
what you have done with the next window name?
Personally, I would send an event back to the server when the mouse up
event is fired and save that winodws coords in the db against that
user window. That way cokkies can be switched off / deleted and still
have that persistance feel.

RE: Multple CFWINDOWS - cannot identify - 2nd try
Thanks for your reply. Ok I have Firebug. I see quite a lot of properties and methods. After checking the whole tree I do not see a way to get all the Windows that are open or a way to check if a certain Window Exists by name or any other identifying characteristic that would persist from page to page. Therefore I cannot save the position of multiple windows reliably, because I am only able to check if there are Windows (in general) open or not, there seems to be no ability to test in JavaScript for a certain Window being open. (ID is uniquely generated on each page load so that won't work either). Am I looking more or less silly at this point? -Original Message- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 9:03 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Multple CFWINDOWS - cannot identify - 2nd try Ok, Here is what you need to do. 1) D'load Firefox 2) Get the plugin / addon calle fireBug 3) Use that to view properties and methods of an object For example, in the fireBug window.

Ajax controls rendering badly
Hi List, I have been playing with CFLAYOUT (tabs) and I am not really too excited about the way the page is drawn. I know it sounds picky but open first loading the page ou see all the content drawn on the page first then it puts them into the tabs. Is there any way around this? I would like it to work so that the tabs are drawn first. I wouldn't even mind of the other content didn't even attempt to load until the tab is selected - although that's not as important as the content being hidden until selected. The same behavior seems to apply to CFWINDOW.

RE: CF forums
Wow, that seems like a terrible reason to dismiss a great product. We don't use Fusetalk because Adobe does, as a matter of fact we were using it before they started. We did an evaluation of all the solutions out there and found Fusetalk to be the best. And now 3 years later, I can say it has worked out quite well. To answer your questions: 1) Which is closest to PHP_BB? Not sure but all the major things seem to be there (avatars, signatures, logon integration, rich text, code attach etc) 2) Are they both free? Fusetalk is not free but not overpriced either. See www.fusetalk.com for details. 3) What database is behind them? Any Database that CF supports works. We use MS SQL 2000 atm. 4) How's the ease of install/configuration (how many hours for a knowledgeable CFer)? Up and running in no time, 3-5 hours depending on how closely you want it to integrate with your existing site. 5) Anything else CONSTRUCTIVE you may have to add ;-) Great support. Regular updates.

Re: memory issues
We have the same issue. Sometimes jrun freezes as well. I suspect though that it may not be a problem (the memory usage) as it may just be set up to use all available memory for speed (caching etc) just like .net, SQL server and vista. But if there is a shortage they may give back. I have no proof of this however. So give it lots of ram. It's cheap enough these days. Composed via iPhone. Please forgive typos.

I can understand why they'd take up lots of memory -- each one has to read a text file that is between 200k and 5 megs, and that seems to correlate with the memory jumps -- but why wouldn't that memory be released after the request is complete? It just keeps piling up. Is this to be expected from high volumes of file-reading/parsing requests? What advice can you give for getting some of that memory free and available?

why the exception? because your cfwindow does not yet exists when your

remove the onload=... from the body tag, and add

1 ColdFusion Failover costs 8-10x more than a standalone server!
Hi, We are having major reliability problems with ColdFusion 7. These problems have been discussed here before with no real solutions. For example: JRUN will go completely haywire and take all the CPU and Virtual Memory on the system about once every 2 days, sometimes multiple times a day. We haven't been able to figure out why. For this and other reasons (such as the occasional upgrade), we have decided that a 2 server cluster would be a good idea so at least we could get some redundancy. We don't need load balancing really, just failover but it looks like you usually get both no matter what you do. Unfortunately, after calling Macromedia I have found that the only way to do this is to buy 2 licenses of ColdFusion Enterprise. So basically this will entail approximately a $10k+ investment in just Coldfusion licenses (not to mention hardware etc), which works out to about 8 times our original investment for the existing license, just to get some redundancy! So the formula is: 1 server solution = $695-$1200 (depending on upgrade or new) 1 redundant server solution (2 servers with same content) = $10,000+ Does this make sense to everyone here?

RE: 1 ColdFusion Failover costs 8-10x more than a standalone server!
Adam, Hey! Speaking of cheap -- that's kind of a cheap shot! I'm not cheap, but we are talking about a small business here that still has a requirement for maximum uptime. I wouldn't mind paying twice as much for two servers - even though the 2nd isn't even doing anything most of the time. I don't think it's much to ask that it be able to scale to that level without having to increase our initial investment 8x over. -Dustin ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: 1 ColdFusion Failover costs 8-10x more than a standalone serv er!
Hi Dave (or anyone else participating), So do you recommend a hardware load balancer for a small 2 server setup instead of using, let's say NLB in Windows 2003? Our server has about 3000-5000 unique visitors per day. If you would recommend a hardware load balancer, which one would be a good one start looking at for our size implementation?

RE: Old saw: jrun.exe out of control (found issue)
This is very interesting. We use Fusetalk over here as well. Problem is, I don't want to disable it because we actively use it!

Hyperlink cause a post, how to?
Does anyone know how to make text link (not a button) cause a post event (like a submit button)? And even better than that - depending on what link was clicked I need to send a different value. The practical application for this is to sort a result set with several columns by clicking on the column name - but without having to repackage the whole query again on the URL (want to use the hidden form values).
