RE: Trying to dynamically populate IFrame content pages...somehow.
Hi, Christian! Your were right! I tried your test and it worked fine. Put it to the test in my app and it worked perfectly! I'm not sure why I thought the variables couldn't be sent through the IFrame Src URL. I've been working on this for two days and my mind was getting into quite a fog over it. I'll have to remember to test approaches simply before putting them into the complicated apps, where many things can cause them to fail, not just the approach itself. I'm still not sure why some of the other approaches weren't working... but I'm just glad this one is. I think the IFrames will make a handy design element. I haven't used them before. Are there any issues with using them besides browser compatibility? Thanks so much for your help! I will sleep better now!

Hmmm. Then the problem with the junk chars may have been related to there being *two* ending boundaries in the message. My alteration knocked that down to one, since CFMX CFMAIL does its own opening and closing boundaries no matter what you do, now. One thing I didn't address is the fact that CFMX puts in boundaries no matter what, and so does the developer when doing the alternative bit. Two sets of boundaries... One inside the other.

Trying to dynamically populate IFrame content pages...somehow.
Hi, all. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using Cold Fusion and IFrames. I've been trying to setup a page that has one or more IFrames, depending on query results, that send information to a page that is the content page for the IFrames. I loop the output from the query on the first page, and the IFrames are created and the IFrame content page does display in the IFrame, but the content is the same for each IFrame content page. In other words, the page that populates the IFrames is created dynamically, based on the variables sent to it. When the page holding the IFrames loops through its query results, those results are sent during each loop to the IFrame content page where it is created dynamically, then the page is brought in to the IFrame. The problem is, the IFrame content page reflects only the last loop's variables in all three IFrames. I can't figure out how to get each loop's variables in the various IFrames. Since the variables can't be URL variables or Form variables, I created application variables so the variables would be available to the IFrame content pages. That worked, but the only version of the IFrame content page to show up in the IFrames was the version with the last loop's variables. It seems like what is happening is that the IFrame content page is not created until the full page is rendered that contains the IFrames. Then, last, the IFrame content pages are included. In this case, it's the last loop's variables that show up, because that's the last version of the page that was created before it's inclusion in the IFrames. Most likely, only one version of the IFrame content page can exist at one time, therefore it shows up in each IFrame. I even tried creating separate IFrame content pages to populate the IFrames, but even then the variables didn't change. ? I hope this makes some sense... This is driving me crazy! I've just about given up on using IFrames in this manner because they just seemed to be more trouble than they are worth...

First level of inteface design and flow is done with a large surface and a butt-load of post-it notes. Gotta love post it notes! Gotta love large surfaces! The great thing about Post-its is that they can represent anything, but they look like nothing. So you can create a post-it representing each button on a form or process and have a user "run" the application (with you shoving new post-its under their noses when they "click"). They can go through the whole app and you never here "I'd rather see that color or that logo" or anything like that - the Post-its let you focus exclusively on flow and information design without bringing computer design into the convesation. I also do a lot of role-play and competator comparison during the discovery phase. There's a nice product from http://www.imarkup.com/ that lets you annotate web pages (with drawing, notes, voice recordings, file attachments, etc) that can really make the competator review stage a lot easy (you work with your client and capture what they say, then review it later). Put post-its on a white board, one for each "page" (content/tool/access point/etc) of the site and connect the dots to flesh out your navigational needs. Once its done transfer it to a digital medium. I also like to have a high-quality digital camera around to take snapshots of the board through out the process. I'm a Corel Brat from version two so I'm now using version 11 to do most of my mocks and graphic design (IMHO CorelDraw/PhotoPaint are much better suited the web work than PhotoShop/Illustrator - although the latter are much more suited to print work than Corel). With the Corel Suite alone I can do Flash work (from CorelDraw directly or via the new CorelRAVE), PDF creation (a standard feature not requiring Distiller), image maps, cuts, optimizations, etc - it's a very web-focused package. Aside from that Visio and Word make a big showing... I use a bastadized version of the Summit-D methodology and lately I've been mixing that with a more bastardized version of UML - so Visio and Word are needed (lots of documentation... Always documentation!) I like what I see of UML so far... But it's very difficult to apply any "complete" methodology to the kind of very small projects I freelance on. The office is using a REALLY bastardized version of UML although they think that they're using it properly (at least you'll hear the management say "actor" and "use case" a lot - even if they don't have a clue as to what the words mean).

Since then I've always been much more comfortable with Adobe Illustrator than with Photoshop. All my non-photorealistic graphics like logos and such are done with Illustrator. My landscapes I get from clip art, touch them up and crop to size in Photoshop. s. isaac dealey954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: Architecting Tools
1. starts with ideas in notepad/on a whiteboard. 2. progresses to visio (if there is db work involved) 3. mock up of logo/interface in photoshop/illustrator if there is graphical work to be included. 4. if all things are a go, i then slice up the graphic in photoshop drop them into a table layout that i have figured out will work, and then on to the code. 5. no code until contract is signed and 1/2 deposit is rec'vd tony -Original Message- From: S.

Christian, there is a whole methodology which grew out of Fusebox and is still used heavily in Fusebox called FLiP. There are many open source tools out there that sprung out of this approach. Here are some good links on this subject: - http://www.clickz.com/sales/traffic/article.php/1491921 http://www.fusebox.org/forums/ (This is the Fusebox Forums lots of good stupp there including a thread on FLiP) http://www.fusebox.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=methodology.steps You do not need to use Fusebox to take advantage of the details in these locations.

Re: Architecting Tools
Hi Layout: I use pencil and paper to lay out tables and forms. I have seen others use Paint Shop Pro to take screen shots and move things around, and then implement in HTML using CF Studio 5 (and notepad). SQL: I use SQL+ to prepare views and complicated queries. Site Structure: Pencil and paper flow charts are the most flexible for me. If I had better Visio skills I would probably use Visio here. Graphics: I use Paint Shop Pro to mock up simple graphics, icons and text-based images. I use Google's Image Search to 'create' more complicated graphics. (Copyright, anyone?) Databases: MS Access to prepare db structure Project management: I don't like MS Project - don't like the resource allocation stuff, so I just use a flat document like a Word doc or email messages and reminders. When it's time to display a demo I usually use a light-weight CF App with hard-coded data.

It seems the JVM caches them both after initially loading them, requiring that the server be restarted for the changes to take effect. I have not looked into a work-around, though, and I should point out that I'm using a unsupported configuration of ColdFusion MX (on OS X), but I'm not completely surprised by this behavior.

I would expect that this is most usefull in a shared hosting environment, where access to the database with tools like Enterprise manager, SQL+ and psql is restricted and no sane admin would permit cfobject on a shared host. The other option would be to make a nice remotely accessible CFC from it. Then the admin could install it in a separate directory, deny access to it through direct inclusion for other users and make it available as a web service. I imagine some of the more capable Flash programmers could build a pretty cool universal database administrator from it :-) Jochem ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

[SOT] CFX vs CFObject interface to Java program
I am implementing a generalized process to retrieve DatabaseMetadata through the JDBC driver. This should support any RDBMS that has a JDBC driver. This requires use of a Java program because CFMX cannot be induced to create a null (necessary for the interface to the DatabaseMetadata). Thanks to a lot of help from others, the basics are working: A CFMX template invokes the Java program, passing a request The Java program retrieves the DatabaseMetadata. The Java program returns the requested information (usually a java.sql.ResultSet or a string) to the CFMX template The CFMX template formats and presents the information. The interface will invoke several different methods in the Java program, for example: Get the names of all the Tables in a particular database Get the names all the columns in a specific database (in the order defined) Get the attributes of columns in a specific database Get the ResultSet from executing a database query OK? My questions are: What interface should I use -- the CFX custom tag or cfobject? Can either be recompiled without recycling CFMX (to recognize the latest class file)? Is it more likely that a remote shared host would install one or the other? Is there a Java WDDX interface? As Jochem has suggested, a better solution would be for MM to provide a cfdatabasemetada tag, but until that is available I need to roll my own.
