RE: Help with Netscape 4.7
One thing we commonly do is render tables with _javascript_. Create a _javascript_ function that draws (via document.write()) a table row with all the dynamic bits of the row as parameters of the function.In your table ensure that you use pixel spacers (maybe in a second row 1px high) and the like to maintain the columns (as each row is a different table). Then, when you want to draw the table just call the _javascript_ function with your parameters. Not only will this make it render faster as you are using a different table for each row, but it will also significantly reduce the weight of the page. (by virtue of changing all that table code printed many times, to lots of low weight js function calls). For an example (admittedly with only six rows per page) take a look at the results list on http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk and the f_drawStockItem() function.

Re: BabelFish down ?
I don't claim MT is that accurate but it does serve a purpose. I actually use it for our Spanish speaking shop floor operators. The application is used to make aware quality complaints tracked from the field. They the operators click on a Spanish flag and the data is translated via BabelFish ( was translated ) Operator feedback is that it conveys the message but is not entirely accurate. ( important: conveys the message ) It was a very useful service to me and I could really use a replacement.

If these email addresses are being pulled from a database or a list and using CFMail to send them I don't see how this is possible.

RE: Help with Netscape 4.7
Of course.This is essentially a refactoring trick, although Sandy is
correct about accessibility.
If we take the example of drawing a load of images (instead of tables) you
have a JS function similar to:
function drawImage(src) {
document.write('img src="" + src + ' height=100 width=100
border=0 alt=');
}
and to write an actual image use
drawImage('image1.jpg');
Obviously as you expose differences between elements, you need to open up
additional parameters (e.g height, width etc)
This means that your code downloaded to the client is hell of a lot smaller,
but renders in exactly the same way.It also has the bonus of making a
global change to an element a little easier.
If you take this example and apply it to tables and the like hopefully you
will get what I mean.Although, one thing to consider is the weight of the
function itself and the calls versus the natural HTML.E.g In the example
above, if you were to only draw two images, it makes sense to just write the
HTML, but if you were drawing 10,000 you could be potentially saving tens if
not hundereds of kilobytes.

One thing we commonly do is render tables with _javascript_.
Create a _javascript_ function that draws (via
document.write()) a table row
with all the dynamic bits of the row as parameters of the
function.In your
table ensure that you use pixel spacers (maybe in a second
row 1px high) and
the like to maintain the columns (as each row is a
different table). Then,
when you want to draw the table just call the _javascript_
function with your
parameters.
Not only will this make it render faster as you are using a
different table
for each row, but it will also significantly reduce the
weight of the page.
(by virtue of changing all that table code printed many
times, to lots of
low weight js function calls).
For an example (admittedly with only six rows per page)
take a look at the
results list on http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk and the
f_drawStockItem() function.

I've just completed a three day crash course for training total ColdFusion newbies in the art of what we all know and love - CFML. Squeezing in eight years of CF experience in three days, making it interesting, making it fun, is quite tough. The two 'victims' were Centrelink (www.centrelink.gov.au) employees (26,000 employees Australia wide - pretty big) who had no web application development experience - at all - but at least knew about HTML (thank you lord). They were more the Visual Basic types - but very smart. 1. Pretty much on day one I walked them through what ColdFusion is, where it came from, the long path travelled, where it is headed, why the hell am I still using it, etc. They will be stuck on CF5 for a while so it was hard not to spurt the virtues of just how good MM made CF with RedSky. 2. Day two was probably more boring as there was a less hands-on approach as I tried to explain key issues like application security, code optimisation, coding practices, FuseBox (example) as a framework, state management, etc. Now these guys never really had to worry about state management so it was a challenge. The discussion of race conditions was interesting to say the least. I was hoarse by the end of the day at any rate. 3. Day three I decided to make it more interesting by declaring I will not write a single line of code. You will - but I will sit by your right and explaing what to write, why you are writing it, and how it works - and brag about yes CFML is easy to pick up given time. On this day my two newbies added to the application* I built on day one - some cool features like creating a register new user which included input validation (email address is valid etc), dynamically creating MSSQL 2000 database tables, sending email in CF (easy peasy with MX) and building a search engine that highlights keywords of their search result anywhere in the search results. They even decided to change the highlight to BOLD text with a yellow background. Whew! It was tough as I had never had to train anyone before. ColdFusion - being such an accessible language - made it easier. Thank god they are still on CF5 so I did not need to go into web services or ColdFusion Component - but they were mentioned. UDF's however got a special mention as noone at Centrelink seems to have... Nope. I will not be critical. I really like CF and it was great to introduce another two into it's intoxicating world. With a few more tweaks (and more computers than my own which I had to drag in from home) I could be on a roll. I'd also like to mention that CF-Talk got a special mention (as did House of Fusion itself), Ben Forta What, did he write this book too? (yep! he sure did - here are a few (4.5+) I no longer need), Dave Watts - from FigLeaf - not Dr David Watts who will be appearing at MXDU 2004 (www.mxdu.com) and Charlie Arehart (New Atlanta) for Blue Dragon.

CF MX and speed issues
Ok I am running into a brick wall here and maybe some of you have some experience with this. We have one server that is a quad Xeon processor box with 2 GB of ram and this runs CFMX 6.1 perfectly. On the other hand I have a 1.5 ghz single processor box with 1GB of ram that runs CFMX 6.1 horribly. What would cause there to be such a lag on a decent machine? It's a brand new box, going to be the dv box. Everything has just been installed from scratch. Are there any CF optimizations I can do to get the speed up there?

RE: Session variable time out?

J2EE datasources hidden from client var storage
I learned that J2EE datasources can be hidden if you try to designate them for client variable storage. (Bug no. 52639). Due to be fixed in the next upgrade to CFMX. They're there; they verify in CFMX Admin Data Sources, but they're not visible in CFMX Admin Client Variables. Workarounds: 1) manually edit the WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo-clientstore.xml file to designate a datasource for client variable storage. Keep a backup of that file! 2) create a separate CFMX-configured datasource for only client variables, and use the J2EE datasource for regular use.

CFMX and Flash Remoting
I don't know if anyone can help but I am just getting round to having a look at flash remoting with CFMX 6.1 and flash 2004 pro. I am connecting to cfc's via a remote connection.Now I have tried this locally and all is ok I have then tried another server, not locally, and all is ok. There is one server, that again is not local, that just will not recognise the CFC. So I have gone to the Service Browser in Flash and added the flash gateway, it is set to the standard on port 8500, this is fine. I then have taken the component/service address from the CFMX component browser, so I know that the CF server can see the component and all is ok, and added this as a service in the Service Browser in Flash. But when I add this service address to the service browser I am returned this error by the service browser, I have replaced the true service path here in this email: Service threw an exception during method invocation: No service named dir.dir.dir.dir.cfcName is known to Flash Remoting MX. remember the service path and name are taken from the component explorer so CFMX can see it and the dir call is correct. Is it something to do with the server, as I say the flash gateway is functioning fine. cheers Martin [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Help with Netscape 4.7
In this situation (one row of three cells) there is no real need to optimise
it, but if you are drawing 1000 rows then use a function like
function drawRow() {
document.write('trtdnbsp;/tdtdnbsp;/tdtdnbsp;/td/tr');
}
and call it as is.
As for netscape, make each row a seperate table.You will have the overhead
of more table tags, but the page will be perceived by the user as a lot
faster.
If column widths are varying between rows, force them with spacer images:
table
tr
tdnbsp;/td
tdnbsp;/td
tdnbsp;/td
/tr
tr
tdimg src="" width=200 height=1/td

Obviously as you expose differences between elements, you

Create a _javascript_ function that draws (via
document.write()) a table row
with all the dynamic bits of the row as parameters of the
function.In your
table ensure that you use pixel spacers (maybe in a second
row 1px high) and
the like to maintain the columns (as each row is a
different table). Then,
when you want to draw the table just call the _javascript_
function with your
parameters.
Not only will this make it render faster as you are using a
different table
for each row, but it will also significantly reduce the
weight of the page.
(by virtue of changing all that table code printed many

Hello All,
I have a client that uses Netscape 4.7 over their corporate
lan and they access certain reports in an application that I
had built for them.Unfortunately upgrading them to IE is
not an option.
The problem I have is a certain report produces a table, and
depending on their criteria it can be a very long table (even
1000 rows) where IE will display the info to the screen
Netscape chokes on it.What happens it that Netscape appears
to be not responding, but actually if you walk away and don't
touch the PC the table will eventually appear.
I know that Netscape does not display the table until it is
finished loading it completely, so I thought I would try
instead of displaying rows I would display one row tables
instead, this is not working out either as I am having a hell
of a time getting the columns to Line up.
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be
greatly appreciated.

RE: Security Attack?
The user probably has Norton Internet Security installed. It's got this feature where you tell it your pin number, ccard number, address and whatnot, and it blots it out if the site isn't on SSL. It's kinda cool for total newbies so you can't enter your credit card number onto a site without a secure connection. Then on the other hand, 4 digit pin numbers tend to catch on numeric strings like your cfid and cftoken, or people's user id numbers and stuff. NIS will blot out those numbers that were entered into it. If my pin number is 1234 and my cftoken is 9991234999, norton will force my cftoken to 999999 when I post it back to the site, in url or in form fields. I had this idea a few weeks ago and sent it in as a bug to symantec. No replies though. I thought up a way to get NIS user's credit card numbers, pin numbers and whatever else. Make a page with a button that says click here to test your norton internet security strength with a hidden formfield containing digits 0-9 arranged in any possible combination of 16 digit numbers. Norton will blot out their credit card number, you compare it to the original and say your credit card number is 123456..., your pin number is 1234 or something like that. Don't anyone do this, btw.

had built for them.Unfortunately upgrading them to IE is
not an option.
The problem I have is a certain report produces a table, and
depending on their criteria it can be a very long table (even
1000 rows) where IE will display the info to the screen
Netscape chokes on it.What happens it that Netscape appears
to be not responding, but actually if you walk away and don't
touch the PC the table will eventually appear.
I know that Netscape does not display the table until it is
finished loading it completely, so I thought I would try
instead of displaying rows I would display one row tables

RE: Session variable time out?
Unless you have control of each Users PC, I don't recommend that you rely on session cookies to maintain state.

These means that I will not buy from certain sites where this is a requirements. I recommend that you use URLSessionFormat() around all of your links so that Users who don't allow permanent cookies can still use your site.
