urgent (How can we bypass web server when data contains &)
Hi
Here i am in loop..
Actually here we are receiving one variable
information(form.xmlpacket) from "posting system" but
when they have "&" data
(Like address field = "a&brothers")
they are converting into "&" for further
processing to xmlparsers (in our system)
This data they are posting properly to our cold fusion
server(and we have one webserver (IIS) is also there
in between their server and our coldfusion application
server.
When they are sending data to us(contains "&"), i
could n't able to see whole data in that
variable("form.xmlpacket"). After "&" data is not
displaying.
I hope (may be) web server is stopping to send after
"&" data
Any how is there any way to read the whole data with
"&" . I believe you understand well.
And i have one doubt if we post from first system to
second system, Then will it be comes thru first system
web server or directly it comes thru to second web
server to second system.
Awaiting your response or valuable suggestion
Thanks & Regards
Ramesh

RE: Oracle Port?
No, sorry. According to http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers, the "Well-known" ports are 0-1023, the "registered" ports are 1024-49151, and the "dynamic/private" ports are 49152-65535, so logically it should be that last range. But I don't know if Oracle followed the rules.

Re: Looping over form data?
Dylan suggestion was one of two techniques I've used. You can name the fields dynamically using the ID of the record as a prefix: VALUE=""... The other thing I've done is leave the names alone and use the fact that same-named variables will result in a comma separated list of values. So as long as you have an ID field (usually hidden) with a list of IDs, you can use ListFind and ListGetAt to pick all the values for that ID from all the fields. Two major caveats however with that method. 1) You can't have commas in the data and 2) Empty fields do not have a "placeholder" comma. I've never been able to get past #1 because there's no way to access the data (to replace commas) before it comes a formfield... > I need to pull a number of records at once from a database, edit them on > one page, then send the data back to the database.

RE: Oracle Port?
This sounds like a different problem. If your network engineer has a packet sniffer, I'd ask him to check out stuff from both sides of the firewall. There are three areas that could be a problem... Client: You don't have your client configured right. Client config is pretty easy, but there are a number of things that can easily go wrong. Firewall: If you have ports 1500-1700 open right now, this is probably not an issue. You might try moving this machine inside the firewall if possible and giving it a try Server: Oracle also has to be configured to listen for connections on the network. If you've never been doing this before, its probably not configed that way. Lots of possibilities still...

You can specify a list of accepted MIME types in the CFFILE tag. Keep in mind that it is the browser that reports this information to the server, and sometimes it gets it wrong.

Re: CFile (another question while we're all on topic!)
Sorry, I think I wrote my first message poorly. My problem is that when the user uploads the wrong mime-type CFFile spits out an error. Right Now, I am using CFTry to catch that error. However, this only works after the file is uploaded because it is uploaded as a .tmp file. After that, I can query the variable file.serverfile to see what the file was, I would like to be able to validate it before the user uploads it to save the transfer hassle of uploading a bad file.

If it could do that, it would have to query the database to check for those changes, and you'd be right back where you started performance-wise. If you want changes in your database to be reflected immediately in your pages even if they're cached using CFCACHE, you'll need to add some logic to the scripts which update the database - have them clear out the cache with ACTION="FLUSH". Alternatively, you might decide that you don't need to show updates immediately, and just figure out the best lifespans for your cached pages. Also, you have to specify a filesystem path, not a URL, in your CFCACHE DIRECTORY attribute.

qForms JavaScript API v1.0 Released!!!
Folks, I just wanted to announce that I've finally released the qForms API. qForms is released under the GNU License and is designed to ease the pain of develop client side JavaScript to interact with forms. Here's a brief rundown on the features available: - Common methods for setting and retrieving form field values - Automatically prevents forms from being submitted multiple times - Dozens of easy to use validation methods - An extendable API - Automatic Event Capturing - Methods for handling complex tasks dealing with form fields-such as transfering items between select boxes - The ability to lock/disable form fields (Works with Netscape v3.0!!!) - The API was written for Netscape v3.0 and higher - And much, much more... The best part is, it's all *free*! :) The only catch is that if you create your own libraries or make modifications, that I'd like you to send them to me. It's not a requirement, but I'm hoping that developers will be willing to share their add-on libraries with the rest of the development community. If you find coding JavaScript a hassle, I think you'll find qForms extremely helpful. I guarantee it'll ease the creation of client-side validation. All the information you need is available at: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/ Sincerely, Dan G.

Re: Query Question
As said below, this has nothing to do with a query. It has to do w/ DSN setup. Setting up the DSN will depend upon the type of database you are using.

Aside from the aforementioned CFGRID, which is probably the easiest
CF-specific way to do it (all in one go!), the alternative is likely to be
something like this:
When first looping the records to be displayed on screen, add the current
row number to the end of each form field name. This is so that when you
submit the form back again, CF will get form variables called name1,
address1, name2, address2 etc etc (or whatever). You should know how many
iterations you get back (after all, you put them on-screen in the first
place!). Once you get the form back, just loop over that number, break
off the suffix digit to get the 'proper' field name, and
check/update/insert back into the database as appropriate. Send the ID of
the database record as a hidden field to make it easy on the way back too.
You can use this method to create 'check-the-box' fields to mass-delete
records at the same time...

4.51 going wacko on me-HELP!!!
Hi all. I am working with my shopping cart, which runs beautiful on 4.01. I'm supposed to upgrade a customer running on 4.51 on virtualscape to my latest version. I just so happened to install 4.51 on my Win 98 development box the other day to make sure all my apps are up to snuff before upgrading my real server to 4.51. I thought everything was going well, until now! Anyway, about every 3rd or 4th time I enter something into the cart, when overwriting what's in there, I get all kinds of wacky errors. The pcode errors, parser errors, all kinds of crap. And this: page=CFTempOnlyForSetVariableNeverUseThisNameInYourCFMLCode1223335654321 WHAT THE ^%$&^^ IS THAT?!?! Once that one hits, no cfm pages can be accessed until cfserver is restarted. I don't see how it can be the code, because it's nothing fancy where it seems to be choking. It's a simple: newbasket = querynew queryaddrow querysetcell (a few cells) Then I turn it to wddx and save it in the client database. Then I output to variables.basket right afterwards to show the cart contents. I thought since I only had 64 MB RAM, that was probably the problem, so I ran out and got another 128 MB. No dice. So I installed WebSite Pro and turned off PWS. Still no dice. Is this me? Is there a problem with WDDX and 4.51 SP2? Anyone see anything I'm doing wrong that will help me?

I suspect it's caused by Win98's crappy memory management. If you want to do this sort of stuff locally, I'd strongly recommend using a decent OS. I know that's not what you want to hear right now, but my guess is that you wouldn't have this problem on NT or 2K.

Once upon a time I started to make a dynaimc wddx-base cf portal. You could probably implement something similiar here That is, anyone who has answered a frequently-asked-question can place them in an xml or wddx file on their own site. Along with a wddx file acting as a simple directory of these single faqs. You write code on your site that allows anyone to add the url to their directory wddx to your database. Your code then routinely grabs their directory and promptly updates your faq. Within further interaction from you... beyond initial approving any directory urls. In other words a distributed faq. Somewhere on my freeware page there is some old initial code for something similiar. A thought. --min ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Stored Procedures - Am I going insane?
Just to prove to myself that I'm not going insane... Is it possible in a SQL Server Stored Procedure to have dynamic table names? I'm currently trying to; Create Procedure update_pages (@tablename varchar(255), @rowlist varchar(255)) as begin update [@tablename] inner join Central_Pages on [@tablename].ID=Central_Pages.ID set [@tablename].Title=Central_Pages.Title, [@tablename].Body=Central_Pages.Body where [@tablename].ID in (@rowlist) end GO When I check the syntax I get "Error 156: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'inner'." Please tell me I'm not going completely mad and that it'll let me do this The problem is that I've got to update upto 200 tables and only specific pages, I don't specifically want to do this via CF (for obvious reasons) While I'm on the SP subject - something I've never had to do inside one is loop over a select and do something on the result... is this possible?

Typically, when you're building SQL on the fly, you'll have to build a string, then use EXECUTE (in SQL 6.5) or sp_executesql (in SQL 7 or 2000) to execute the string.
