RE: Preventing URL Variables from being changed
I have to agree with Ben. If possible in your application, use variable scopes that do not have to be sent to the client (session and client variables work very nicely for this). Using URL and FORM vars, while being great tools, are sometimes risky and take time to write extra code to prevent exploitation.

Re: hierarchical database.....
If the DB is Oracle then I know you can quite easily do the recursive queries using that model. If it's Transact SQL then the recursion is quite a pain in the arse.

Could this solve my problem? Unfortunately, "use XML" isn't much of an answer. It's analogous to answering "how can I drive to the store" by saying "use gasoline". In fact, XML isn't especially useful for answering questions like this; it's not suited to modeling relational data, but is useful as a transport mechanism for denormalized data. There is a good, useful model for hierarchies in SQL that provides functionality beyond simply relating a parent and child. It's called the nested set model. There's information on it from Joe Celko, a highly respected database guy, here: http://www.intelligententerprise.com/001020/celko.shtml Better yet, there's an implementation of it by David Medinets here: http://www.codebits.com/ntm/ Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 fax: (202) 797-5444 __ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: hierarchical database.....
Richard, There's an excellent method for handling hierarchical trees in Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties which he refers to as the "Nested Set Model." There are some excellent tutorials on using the Nested Set Model w/CF on SecretAgents.com: http://www.secretagents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=freeviewlets.viewlet&vi ewlet_id=45&CFID=492326&CFTOKEN=88407308 The only thing the Nested Set Model doesn't do very well, is dynamic sorting of each branch--because the logic it uses, sets a predefined ordinal value to all the nodes. There are ways to work around this of course, and you can even combine Nested Set Model w/the traditional parent_id/child node relationship.

Re: hierarchical database.....
the setup from the hierarchical table should be something like this.. Parent_ID, ID, Any other fields you need I set Parent_ID to zero if it is the top level. All the children of the parent have the Parent_IDs "ID" value as their Parent_ID...so... Parent: ID 1 Parent_ID 0 Children: ID 2 Parent_ID 1 ID 3 Parent_ID 1 Childs Children: ID 4 Parent_ID 2 ID 5 Parent_ID 2 ID 6 Parent_ID 3 etc. to infinity and beyond! but of course you're stuck with recursive queries or looping over queries etc. HTH Bryan Stevenson VP & Director of E-Commerce Development Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. p. 250.920.8830 e.

RE: html standards
That cfhtmlhead tag is pretty sweet ... However, can someone please pass on to Macromedia that it makes zero sense to call it like so: It should be called like this: Now if we want to start using cfhtmlhead we have to go through all of our js code and make sure the quotes are escaped and don't conflict with the type of quote you use in "". ::: -Original Message- ::: From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ::: Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 10:36 AM ::: To: CF-Talk ::: Subject: RE: html standards ::: ::: ::: > Were developing a rather large applciation/intranet where ::: > there is a fair bit of code in application.cfm and in header ::: > files and such.

RE: Preventing URL Variables from being changed
Yeah ... you should try variations of drop:table as the ID number (actually you might not want to do that). First of all make sure you are using in your queries. Because you can't control what people do to the urls consider using form variables ... but that is a security risk as well.

Caller Problem
I have a custom tag that deals with uploading images to the server. The tag also checks to make sure that the images do not have a zero value as well as the proper type (gif or jpg). When an error does occur the caller tag is not being displayed on the action page and the custom tag continues to process. If anyone can help, I need to find out why the caller message is not being displayed.

RE: Advanced Coldfusion - Generating Preview Pages ???
The form action page is a sure-fire way of getting those form variables to the preview page. The only other way I can think of is by doing some client side JS code to transfer the form values to the preview page. I'd advise against that, as I prefer to keep that kind of application code server side (especially since you have regular expression code to consider as well). Consider this. You could have a preview page with the options "Commit" (which does teh db insert) or "Go Back" (which goes back to the populated form). Another idea. When I do thing like this, I like to combine the editor and the actual display as much as possible. For an editor that allows add/edit/delete on a page of links, I would have one page with the editor on top and the display (as the users see it) on the bottom. Doing it this way, I can place the display section on as an include (the include will have the intelligence to determine if it's in "display public" or "display admin" mode. This way, I only have to write the display code once and don't have to worry about syncing changes to multiple versions of the same file. Admittingly, a links page is a pretty simple animal. Not all templates are going to accomodate this design. if you can find a way to make an editor that displays the data as seen in the public section, sometimes you can avoid having preview pages.

Re: html standards
Andre, The main difference in the placement of the tags is this... ..you place JS functions in the which are called from within the document/by other functions. When you place
