Re: Best Practices
OK...let's just cut the name of the thread to 'Best Practices' :) While there will always be some 'subjectivity' as to 'how' to code, there certainly are 'better' ways, 'worse' ways, and yes...'best' ways. It's the 'best' ways that I'm interested in. Somebody brought up previously that there shouldn't be a central 'best practices' document, as it may be intimidating to beginners (if i understood correctly). I can see that...but I can also see that where a beginner would learn the 'most simple' or 'most straightforward' way (ie learning cfif myVar is before learning cfif len(trim(myVar))). My contention/issue/point is that there are almost always 'better' ways to code (by better, I'm referring to more efficient). If I can be a better coder (which I know I can), I would want to know how. Yes, one can certainly pick up tidbits of information here and there (whether it be on the forums, newsgroup, this list, or any of the cf-related sites out there)...but I'm sure very few of us have the luxury of that kind of time to look (heck, we wouldn't even know what to look for). Might be nice to start a cf coding tips site...I'd be more than happy to throw a form online to collect tips from anybody who wants to enter a few (as well as a page to output them). Over time it might even become the basis for a best practices doc (maybe setting up a 'rate this tip' to see if it really is something that people have found works for them). I know that I'd benefit greatly from such a site. I'd like to think that many others would as well. Anybody have any thoughts on that? Thoughts on hosting? I can do it, and would be more than happy to...but perhaps a better known cf-related site would be a better 'home' for it (i'd still be willing to code it).

RE: CFMX variable issues
It doesn't appear to be. Also #structKeyExists(CGI,Referer)# outputs YES. Cheers Maybe CGI.REFERER is actually variables[CGI.REFERER] There is something a little unusual about the CGI scope in CFMX. Consider the following piece of code, it outputs the variable CGI.REFERER, which while is should be CGI.HTTP_REFERER, nonetheless exists, and if you click on check, you will find that it is populated. However, if you do a dump of CGI, it is not present. This 'feature' exists for a whole pile of variable names in the CGI scope. Cheers, Mark code !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN html head titleUntitled/title /head body cfoutput a href=#cgi.script_name#Check/a Referer=#cgi.referer# /cfoutput cfdump var=#cgi# /body /html /code Ok, what you are seeing is a variable scope conflict. To fix your issue, all you need to do is change your if statement to check variables.http, variables.https, etc. When you just checked http, apparently it checked another scoped version first, and that value could not be translated to boolean. What's odd is that I don't see http in the cgi scope, so I'm not sure where it is conflicting.

Re: OT: Another CSS Issue
I have tried a lot of things, from adding the element to existing styles to
creating a custom class just for the page break (i.e.: .PBAfter {
page-break-after : always}). I have also tried implementing it in several
ways but I would have thought a simple p class=PBAfter or div
class=PBAfternbsp;/div would have done it.
What simple little thing am I missing?

Survey Launching
Hi, I have been asked to investigate the possibility of adding the functionality of an on_close survey to all our sites. It would be a generic survey across them all. This should behave as follows. 1) activate when the user leaves the domain - i.e. clicks some where else. 2) activate when the user closes the site down. How easy is this to achieve? Obviously the onClose is pretty straightforward but what about the domain etc Any ideas/thoughts. How long would it take to implement this(1 hour, 2 hoursetc...?)?

Re: Best Practices
Charlie, I think this is a great idea, I have no formal background in any language, but picking things up here and there has made my life easier. I think your idea of a place for tips would be great... and since this list has provide such a great service, maybe it should be here on HoF! It would also be nice to have a 'board' if you will that approves a 'Best' practice before it is placed as a valid best practice. Maybe even to go as far as placing 'tips' online with advantages and disadvantages ... Just to explain why it is good and why it is not so a best practice can then be determined depending on usage. Example would be: cfif if only 1-2 variables, but use cfswitch if comparing many Both are good practices, both yield the same results, but one (cfif) is much quicker to code and the savings in execution may be minimal and thus cfif would be the 'best' practice... with explination that would be useful to a user. I guess I what I am saying is have best practices, tips or whatever you want to call it, but give the explination as to WHAT they do and their advantage, disadvantage. Then have a group, approve disapprove and you will have one heck of a document. Just my .02 I think it would be great ... Mike D, do you want to have something like this? Paul Giesenhagen QuillDesign - Original Message - From: Charlie Griefer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:58 AM Subject: Re: Best Practices OK...let's just cut the name of the thread to 'Best Practices' :) While there will always be some 'subjectivity' as to 'how' to code, there certainly are 'better' ways, 'worse' ways, and yes...'best' ways. It's the 'best' ways that I'm interested in. Somebody brought up previously that there shouldn't be a central 'best practices' document, as it may be intimidating to beginners (if i understood correctly). I can see that...but I can also see that where a beginner would learn the 'most simple' or 'most straightforward' way (ie learning cfif myVar is before learning cfif len(trim(myVar))). My contention/issue/point is that there are almost always 'better' ways to code (by better, I'm referring to more efficient). If I can be a better coder (which I know I can), I would want to know how. Yes, one can certainly pick up tidbits of information here and there (whether it be on the forums, newsgroup, this list, or any of the cf-related sites out there)...but I'm sure very few of us have the luxury of that kind of time to look (heck, we wouldn't even know what to look for). Might be nice to start a cf coding tips site...I'd be more than happy to throw a form online to collect tips from anybody who wants to enter a few (as well as a page to output them). Over time it might even become the basis for a best practices doc (maybe setting up a 'rate this tip' to see if it really is something that people have found works for them). I know that I'd benefit greatly from such a site. I'd like to think that many others would as well. Anybody have any thoughts on that? Thoughts on hosting? I can do it, and would be more than happy to...but perhaps a better known cf-related site would be a better 'home' for it (i'd still be willing to code it).

And as an example, that's one I would disagree (vehemently) with, unless 'x' is a boolean (true/false). If 'x' is genuinely boolean, then 'cfif x' is the more intentional

Subject: Joining tables across 2 DB2 databases
I'm currently running the SQL below on the mainframe against a two DB2
databases and it works fine. However, when I run the same
query in COLD FUSION, it hangs up. Can Cold Fusion handle joining 3 tables
across two DB2 databases even with the same datasource? Could there be
something wrong with my query? Thanks for your help.
SELECT COUNT(A.ALPHA_POSN_CD), C.OCD, A.ALPHA_POSN_CD
From MSHAREA.HRPOSNRF A, MCASA.TA B, MSHAREA.TKNUMRF C
Where A.HR_POSN_CD = B.HR_POSN_CD and
B.TKNUM = C.TKNUM and
A.ALPHA_POSN_CD IN ('01', '02', '03', '04') and
C.OCD IN ('A01', 'E99')

RE: Best Practices
Most of CF best practices only talk about simple naming conventions and code layout (which is already very good). But, there isn't many things about patterns/frameworks/methodology (except Fusebox) to build complete Enterprise class web applications (with caching, internationalization, configuration files...). In the J2EE world, they might be too many (Jakarta Struts is the most famous one), but in CFMX world, there isn't many. I am currently finishing a CFMX framework/methodology based on the MVC pattern (Model/View/Controller). It is applied on the project I am currently working on and works pretty well. I should have finished the doc by the end of the week. I'll put it online with a downloadable full featured sample application.

any javascripters
I know its not CF and apologise in advance,
I,ve got a hidden frame,
there is a timeout set and it will make a http request to check for a new
instance of data,
If there is a new instance,
I want to write the new data to a table in the visible frame,
I can do this successfully,
code-
function writeNewData(){
// assign long reference to shorter var name
var delay = 1400, blinks = 3;
var theTable = parent.f_userView.myTable
// append new row to the end of the table
var newRow = theTable.insertRow(theTable.rows[0])
// give the row its own ID
newRow.id = newRow.uniqueID
// declare cell variable
var newCell
// an inserted row has no cells, so insert the cells
newCell = newRow.insertCell(0)
// give this cell its own id
newCell.id = newCell.uniqueID
// display the row's id as the cell text
newCell.innerText = a date and time string
// re-use cell var for second cell insertion
newCell = newRow.insertCell(1)
newCell.id = newCell.uniqueID
newCell.innerText = new reservoir data
for ( var i = 1; i blinks; i++ ){
setTimeout(runBlink( + newRow.id + , + 0 + ), delay *
i - ( delay / 2 ) );
setTimeout(runBlink( + newRow.id + , + 1 + ), (delay *
i) );
}
}
function runBlink(idNewRow,blinker){
if(blinker){idNewRow.bgColor = }else{idNewRow.bgColor = orange}
}
but when I then try to blink the new row I just get a error in bottom left
corner in the status bar (error on page),
It works fine within a single document window,
any help would be greatly appreciated,

RE: access db
Look for the ldb file- as per info below. Is there one defined? When you open an Access database file (.mdb) in shared mode, Microsoft Access also creates a locking information file (.ldb) with the same file name (for example, Northwind.ldb) and in the same folder as the database file. This locking information file stores the computer name (such as mypc) and security name (such as Admin) of each shared user of the database. Microsoft Access uses this information to control concurrency. In most cases, Microsoft Access automatically deletes the locking information file when the last user closes the database file. -Original Message- From: Bryan F.

Re: access db
Here is what my host, www.HostMySite.com, recommends to unlock an Access db. (I have not tried this). FAQ: How to Overwrite an Existing Database I would like to upload an updated version of my access database. When I attempt to overwrite the existing database I am unable to. As a normal part of ODBC operation, your database file is locked by the ODBC connection. There is a trick you can use to unlock the database temporarily. You can write a page to query a non-existent column in an existing table in your database. This will temporarily unlock the database so that you can overwrite the file. Since the file will be re-locked quickly, especially if other pages are accessing the database, it is best to rename or delete the old database before uploading the new one. As soon as you upload the new database and run a good query, normal ODBC operation will resume. There are a few things you can do to maximize the success of the unlock page: 1. Make sure that no other pages are executing queries on the database. If a valid query is run right after your invalid query, the database will be locked again. 2. Since the database can be re-locked quickly, rename the .mdb file as soon as you run the invalid query. Then you can upload the new database and not worry about it locking again before you have a chance. 3. This trick often requires some patience - if it doesn't work at first, try it again a few times. Also, you may want to wait a few minutes and then try. You may want to rename, disable, or move any pages that query the database to prevent them from re-locking it. 4. If all else fails, upload another copy of the database with a different name. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will adjust the DSN. Hope this helps. JMI Associates P.O.

Does the theTable object return the object correctly?
Do an alert(theTable), you should get [object].

JM It works fine within a single document window,
This makes me suspect that one of your object references isn't working
correctly from the frame. Generally I've had better luck passing the
data in the frame back to a function in the parent document that gets
the object references. No need to worry about the different document
objects.
Just on a hunch try this instead of the above line. Might work...This
is IE only right?

RE: access db
thank you, but have already done this. -Original Message- From: Jocelyn Isidro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 10:12 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: access db Here is what my host, www.HostMySite.com, recommends to unlock an Access db. (I have not tried this). FAQ: How to Overwrite an Existing Database I would like to upload an updated version of my access database. When I attempt to overwrite the existing database I am unable to. As a normal part of ODBC operation, your database file is locked by the ODBC connection. There is a trick you can use to unlock the database temporarily. You can write a page to query a non-existent column in an existing table in your database. This will temporarily unlock the database so that you can overwrite the file. Since the file will be re-locked quickly, especially if other pages are accessing the database, it is best to rename or delete the old database before uploading the new one. As soon as you upload the new database and run a good query, normal ODBC operation will resume. There are a few things you can do to maximize the success of the unlock page: 1. Make sure that no other pages are executing queries on the database. If a valid query is run right after your invalid query, the database will be locked again. 2. Since the database can be re-locked quickly, rename the .mdb file as soon as you run the invalid query. Then you can upload the new database and not worry about it locking again before you have a chance. 3. This trick often requires some patience - if it doesn't work at first, try it again a few times. Also, you may want to wait a few minutes and then try. You may want to rename, disable, or move any pages that query the database to prevent them from re-locking it. 4. If all else fails, upload another copy of the database with a different name. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will adjust the DSN. Hope this helps. JMI Associates P.O.

Hogan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 6:52 AM Subject: RE: access db Yes, this is true...mostly. But in my case, when the last person closes the db it does not unlock. -Original Message- From: Janine Jakim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 9:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: access db Look for the ldb file- as per info below. Is there one defined? When you open an Access database file (.mdb) in shared mode, Microsoft Access also creates a locking information file (.ldb) with the same file name (for example, Northwind.ldb) and in the same folder as the database file. This locking information file stores the computer name (such as mypc) and security name (such as Admin) of each shared user of the database. Microsoft Access uses this information to control concurrency. In most cases, Microsoft Access automatically deletes the locking information file when the last user closes the database file. __ Your ad could be here.

RE: any javascripters
What is the actual error though?
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: 'ms_id127' is undefined
Code: 0
Do an alert(theTable), you should get [object].
Yep, I do,
ms_id127 is the uniqueid given for the row,
it can successfully insert cells to the row and output within theTable,
I removed, + newRow.id + , + 0 + and + newRow.id + , + 1 +
from within,
setTimeout(runBlink( + newRow.id + , + 0 + ), delay * i - ( delay / 2
) );
setTimeout(runBlink( + newRow.id + , + 1 + ), (delay * i) );
then,
function runBlink(){
//if(blinker){idNewRow.bgColor = }else{idNewRow.bgColor =
orange}
alert('test')
}
the object reference newRow.id seems to get lost at this point,
if just before my for loop I do newRow.bgColor = red; it runs fine,
I tried,
var theTable = parent.document.all.f_userView.myTable
but it killed the script,
I tried alerting each new instance of alert(newRow.id) to check if truely
unique,
maybe that might have been causing the problem but they are unique,

What is the actual error though? Double click on the question mark.
That would be very helpful.

JM code-

JM var delay = 1400, blinks = 3;
JM var theTable = parent.f_userView.myTable
So this function is running in the frame, right?
Does the theTable object return the object correctly?
Do an alert(theTable), you should get [object].
snip/
JM It works fine within a single document window,
This makes me suspect that one of your object references isn't working
correctly from the frame. Generally I've had better luck passing the
data in the frame back to a function in the parent document that gets
the object references. No need to worry about the different document
objects.
Just on a hunch try this instead of the above line. Might work...This
is IE only right?
var theTable = parent.document.all.f_userView.myTable;

Re: IIS / CFServer Problem
I found the solution! I had to go in and manually configure the LAN Settings -(Network Settings-Change Settings-Advanced-Change Settings, which brings you to Services) and checking web server and inputting my specific IP. Then I changed 127.0.0.1 to my IP in the IIS Site Manager as well, and changed the IP of http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm to include my IP instead as well. Installing IIS and CF Server for some reason did not automatically recoginize and configure this connection. I'm incuding these details just in case another newbie has the same problem... Thanks very much for your help everybody, your suggestions got me started on the road to discovery!

I can view html CFM pages on the sites on my computer just fine as long as my cable modem is not hooked up to the internet. The moment I connect, I get an internal server error 500 and I can no longer view any of the pages. I've changed the IP in the default site to be my real IP, but now I'm getting Gateway Timeout - The following error occurred: A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. So where do I go from here to be able to access the pages when I'm hooked up to the net? I'm just starting with this. I'd like to know if I just need to change a setting or if this is some complicated mess... Thanks so much for you time - I really appreicate it!

Hogan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 15 August 2002 7:14 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: access db I have a client today that is switching their CF site built with an access db to our servers, along with that they needed for me to build an upload function for a spreadsheet, the xls name is going to be stored in the db. I need to add that column. BUT, the darn thing is locked. Simple enough run a select query on non-existent table calling the data source. NO GO, will not unlock. Ok, try the db connection flush tag, NO GO. Ok, unclick maintain db connections in admin, NO GO. Ok, restart services, NO GO. I checked all office computers nobody has it open. I have stopped the website in IIS so no users could connect, NO GO. Is there any other way to unlock the database? This is one of the reasons I tried to talk the client out of access, but again NO GO. If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
