Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
But the onClick event doesn't recognize the CF variable. It has to be _javascript_.
When I convert the #linkStyle# to _javascript_ - "target(){return #linkStyle#}" - and place the _javascript_ in the onClick event as
"(target()", there is no way for the value to change from what was originally returned in the script.
If the value of #linkstyle# returned in the script was "FellSvc", (probably the last value returned from the query), each instance of
I'm thinking I need to loop over the variable from within the script or loop over the function from within the output of the query - loop over something, somehow, to get all the values for #linkSvc# separated out and into different onClick event instances.
I tried placing all the values for #linkSvc# in a list, in an array (which the _javascript_ function didn't like because it was a complex datatype), but it's not getting me closer to placing different values in each onClick event generated by outputting the query results.
I'm going to sleep on it. G'night, all and thanks for your input!

access and cf5 performace
Hi This may be a multiple list question, but I figured I would ask here since many of you are familiar with this setup. I have a windows 2000 dedicated server running about 15 ablecommerce websites using Access and CF 5 Server. Lately I have been getting timeout errors from the database and cf scripts. When I view the system resources during these timeouts, the hardware is completely fine. Only 1/3 of the physical ram in use and the processor toping 5%. I don't know what else to look at to determine what is causing the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look or what the issue may be?

Re: How to streamline a request that uses many cfquery statements?
Hm. I wasn't implying that a stored procedure would run asynchronously. But, I was implying that if you're making 15 separate calls to the database, your bottle neck could be right there. If you can encapsulate those 15 queries into one call to the database, that returns one recordset, you may save some processing time. (Without knowing what they're doing for sure, though, I couldn't say more than "maybe.") - Original Message - From: "Steve Nelson" ? > Maybe I'm wrong, but I think even if you use a stored procedure it's going > to process in series.

OT: Flash loop question
I am returning an array of state abbreviations to Flash and I have a map of the US with each state as a separate button with the instance named as the state 2-letter abbreviation. I'm trying to do the following: for(i=0;i stateList[i].enabled = false; } If I trace stateList[i], I get the 2 letter abbreviation for the state, but the loop doesn't disable the button. Do I have to do something so that Flash knows that stateList[i] is a variable and not a literal instance name? I'm sorry for the OT post, but I know that many of you also deal with Flash and could give me a faster answer than trying to find a solid flash board or something to give me some info. Thanks.

The vast majority of what's in JRun Updater 3 is what was made available to CF customers in CFMX 6.1 Updater 3 gets these fixes to JRun 4 customers. There is a some small number items fixed in Updater 3 that aren't in CFMX 6.1. We're working on a cumulative hotfix due in April to make those available for CFMX 6.1 Server-configuration customers. Some other fixes available ***POST-U3*** (didn't make U3) for JRun and CFMX customers through hotfixes + other random thoughts I'll share: (note: all of these will be in the 6.1 cumulative hotfix due in April) - we expect to release new datadirect drivers soon to fix the oracle and sqlserver issues customers have reported (no more data, arrayindexoutofbounds, hangs) with the 3.2 drivers shipped with JRun 4 Updater 2 and CFMX 6.1. They are still in testing mode. JRun4 Updater 3 got the 3.1+ drivers since they were the most stable. 3.1+ was also made available as a hotfix for CFMX customers with issues. We expect to replace the 3.1+ for JRun and CFMX customers with newer drivers in the next few weeks if testing goes well. Please email me if you'd like to participate in the beta. - some connector enhancements - including failover in clustering working as expected (we will have a hotfix for this soon - please email me). These fixes are long overdue. - connection pooling fixes for "JRun datasources" to match the pooling fixes for ColdFusion datasources (see technote below). http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/conn_pool_hotf ix.htm (for apps like AbleCommerce that use "JRun datasources" ie entered through the JMC and available to all instances). Users of JRun J2EE CFMX versions would need these if they have connection-limited datasources *AND* the underlying application used JRun datasources. This fix will be made available in a few days. - Client variable purge fixes for SQL and registry datasources (there were 4 bugs fixed). This often showed up when the server hung every hour on the hour for the maintenance task of purging client variables older than [N] days. This hits many customers if they use "registry" and the registry grows to say 50,000 or 100,000+ entries. SQL datasources are recommended but even if users switched, the registry purges still occurred (in addition to SQL purges) and could hang the system. The fix now respects the unchecked "purge" setting for all client datasource types. These are the ones that come to mind that get reported most often hanging systems. ***For Dick AppleBaum***: 1) JRun and, therefore, CF use the JVM 1.3 instead of 1.4 (even with the fix posted Christian Cantrell's blog site) > Part of this is the installer not allowing the selection.

Is there a way to check available memory for CFMX from code? (i.e. I do not have access to the physical server.) I've seen it done before for Java based custom tags, but I was wondering if there is a way to tell if CFMX is running out of memory (because I keep losing my application variables way before the specified timeouts.) And does CF record every time it restarts in the "server" log, or would it only be recorded in the actual server's log (from IIS for example)?

Would this best be done with a union of two selects, or is there a trick that would allow this to be done in one select?

RE: how to save a document/spreadsheet/pdf into a database table when it is open?
Nope, imagine the problems you'd have if you let users "save" directly to your server. That's a hacker's paradise. The only way I can think to do it would be to have some kind of an editor built into your page that creates the files or allow a user to upload files from their computer and save it into the database that way. You can't let them just edit the file in the browser and File->Save though. That's a local operation, not a server thing.

RE: new--->win
Ummm, it should get a new copy. It depends on your browser settings for caching and also your server settings with caching.

RE: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable
The concept that took me awhile to get my head around. You don't usually pass variables to _javascript_ in examples like this. If you need to truly pass variables to _javascript_ from CFML you need to use some kind of intermediary technology such as WDDX. But for what you seem to be trying to do, you just need to create some dynamically written _javascript_. This works just like dynamically written HTML that we all do on a daily basis. All the CFML mixed with _javascript_ code is rendered in the server and the completed _javascript_ is sent to the client where it is ran. Some basic examples:
To create a list of links with a dynamic _javascript_ phrase:
A gotcha in this syntax is the mixing of quotes on the onClick property. If you want the parameter of the JS function to be a string literal wrapped in quotes and the onClick property to be correctly wrapped in quotes you must properly nest double (") and single (') quotes. Also, if the JS complains about the string #aQuery.aColumn#, then the CFML variable was not rendered, which means that is was not inside tags for some reason.
To create a dynamically generated JS function:
function aJSfunction ( foo, bar )
{
var sampleArray = new Array(1);
sampleArray[currentRow] = "#aQuery.aColumn#";
}
This would create a simple JS array out of the values in a column from a CFML query. This could also be done with WDDX if one so desired. If you are using a Macromedia IDE such as Studio, Homesite or Dreamweaver, the color coding feature gets confused with this kind of mixing of JS and CFML code, but that has no bearing on the correctness of the code so just ignore the strange coloring of the code.
HTH
If you are still unsure of how to accomplish your requirements and if you can provide a couple of snippets of your actual code we can probably help you more specifically with your syntax.

Re: new--->win
It is possible that by disabling IE's cache you might be able to stop that behavior, but no bets. I don't think that there's anything you can do on the server side, though. I believe it's just IE's default behavior to replicate the page as loaded when creating a new window. --Ben Turetsky, Seth wrote: > In IE, doing a CTRL-N or NEW--->WINDOW, doesn't fully run the CF code again. > I have a variable based on a timestamp, so when opening a new window, the > variable doesn't get the new time.

It's the "<" symbol. However, I think that the error above is cause by the
stack trace error returned that I pasted in as opposed to my code. As I
said, I can call this CFC using createObject("component") just without
issue. The real problem (I think, but who knows) is that AXIS is looking for
a class in webservices.jar called SimpleHTTPSender that doesn't exist is any
version of webservices.jar that I've unzipped (originally shipped, hotfix,
and security bulletin versions).

Re: passing multiple CF vaules to a javascript variable
Hi Patric,
I'll try to consolidate information I've provided so far. I'm not at work today so I can't generate the exact code, but I'll do my best to simulate it.
Here goes:
Purpose of the code:
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to the user interaction), an associated DIV, with an ID equal to the stylename, displays the link's content. This is because the onClick event tells the matching style in the stylesheet to change "display=none" to "display=block".
These are a sample of the values in the stylesheet:
#FellSvc{display:none;}
#MinorRts{display:none;}
#AmnInf{display:none;}
#AnteSter{display:none;}
The names of these styles are included as a column menu_bmarkLink in the db table.
Other relevant columns in the db table are: menu_Text and menu_nonBmarkLink.
(menu_nonBmarkLink is included in the query for a condition where a link doesn't have a bookmark, but has an external link instead. I don't think that matters for this post.)
The query is something like this:
Select * from faq_menulinks
The output would be something like this:
menu_Text menu_bmarkLink menu_nonBmarkLink
link1 MinorRts
link2 FellSvc
link3 AmnInf
link4 AnteSter
link5 http://gosomewhereelse.com
My output would be inserted into HTML list items something like this:
"">"#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#">"##Ans"
which could produce output like:
For links 1-4, the "#Ans" is the position in the screen where the content is displayed now that the onClick target style is set to display=block. (As mentioned previously, there is a div with the same name as the style that contains the content. Something like this:
A minor has a lot of rights but they never think they have enough. They think they're old enough to make decisions for themselves, but some of those decisions could be deadly.
If the solution to my problem is including another set of tags somewhere in this code so that the value for:#menu_bmarkLink# displays properly (a different value for it in each list item instance), then great.
"">"#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#">"##Ans"
I got on this not-so-wild ride, when I got an error on the output code above saying something like, "onClick didn'tunderstand the variable". I took the tact of trying to make the #menu_bmarkLink# a js variable - which worked, but only to the extent that it returned only one value for the variable and repeated that value in each instance of a generated list item.
Can you help?
Appreciatively,
Joy

RE: Backing up MySQL InnoDB DB
That's very similar to what we do, though we only do a dump once a month, and use the binary log (you do keep a binary log, right?) for incremental backups.

striping url again...
Hello all... I am trying to strip a url up into sections... for example: If a have a url like http://www.mysite.com/ I want to take just the "mysite" part a store as a variable and then store the .com part as another variable then remove all the http:// and www parts. So far I have come up with this... but it only partially works. Thanks for any help on this...

Re: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable

Purpose of the code:
When a user clicks on a menu link (generated by the CF code prior to the user interaction), an associated DIV with an ID equal to the stylename displays its content. This is because the onClick event tells the matching style in the stylesheet to change "display=none" to "display=block".
These are a sample of the values in the stylesheet:

#AnteSter{display:none;}
The names of these styles are included as a column (menu_bmarkLink) in the db table.
Other relevant columns in the db table are: menu_Text and menu_nonBmarkLink. For the issue at hand, the column menu_Text and
menu_bmarkLink.
(menu_nonBmarkLink is included in the query for a condition where a link doesn't have a bookmark, but has an external link instead. I don't think that matters for this post.)
The query is something like this:

link2 FellSvc
link3 AmnInf
link4 AnteSter

My output would be inserted into HTML list items something like this:
"">"#q_menu.menu_nonBmarkLink#">"##Ans"
which could produce output like:
For links 1-4, the "#Ans" is the position in the screen where the content is displayed now that the onClick target style is set to display=block. (As mentioned previously, there is a div with the same name as the style that contains the content.
Something like this:

help needed with variables, loops, and multi-step forms
Please bear with me as this is the first time I have attempted this.
I am creating variables that will be used as initial empty values for form
fields in a multi-step process. I am creating the variables as follows:
variables.numPeople = 3;
variables.stPeople = structNew();
for (i=1; i LTE variables.numPeople; i=i+1) {
variables.stPeople['stPerson' & i] = structNew();
variables.stPeople['stPerson' & i]['firstName'] = "";
variables.stPeople['stPerson' & i]['lastName'] = "";
}
Based on the numPeople value I want to dispaly as many sets of form fields
for a user to fill in as follows:
So my question is how do I populate the value attribute of the form fields
that are created in a loop with the initial empty variables that were also
created in a loop? Basically I want the value attribute of the form fields
to be value="#variables.stPeople.stPerson1.firstName#" and the stPerson1
changes numbers as the loop increments. Is it just a matter of using the
proper syntax? If so I am missing it completely.
Hopefully I have expressed myself clearly!
Thanks,
Nate

Re: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable
So there was nothing wrong with my original code and I shouldn't have gotten an error saying that onClick didn't understand the CF variable #menu_bmarkLink#.
Maybe it failed because there was no value for #menu_bmarkLink# when that variable was blank - which would be the case when the menu_nonBmarkLink column had a value. So maybe that column is relevant after all.
I'll pull out the record containing the menu_nonBmarkLink value and see if I get the results you did. At least that will pinpoint the problem better.
Thanks.

RE: passing multiple CF values to a JavaScript variable
I think you might be right, when I added a row to my test query with a blank "menu_bmarkLink" it produced output such as this: That is definitely incorrect syntax in the onClick property and my test threw a JS error, but it did not say anything about not understanding #menu_bmarkLink# You should just need to trap for blanks in that column and not output an onClick property for those rows. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.

Joy,
taht's what I think too. The code sample Dave provided does the same
thing your code should render. That's why I thought you could provide
a dump of your database query to see if it's serving unexpected

Thank you for testing that,Ian. I must have jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Issue with Loops and queries
I am running into an issue where Cf doesn't want to execute a query. Here is what I'm doing cfloop query cfquery cfloop query cfquery cfloop query cfquery The last cfquery isn't executing. The query is good as for testing purposes I copied a query from above in the loop, and renamed it and it woudln't execute it. If I mess the code up on the last query it will error out. Is there some kind of limit I am hitting that I didn't know about. Bob [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Issue with Loops and queries
I don't have an answer to your question, but that looks like a REALLY bad way to have a page execute. Surely you can avoid some of those nested queries with JOINs, and then use CFOUTPUT with a GROUP attribute? You might be running into some variable collisions. I've had "interesting" situations arise when several queries are all being used at the same time, though nothing careful scoping has failed to address.

RE: Proving you are legitimate from CFMail
Craig, One of the mail headers (I can't remember which one) identifies the sender as "ColdFusion Application Server" (or something like that). I think the header is something like "X-Mailer". Anyhow, this is one of the things that spam filters look out for. Fortunatly, you can change this header's value using . Also, make sure that you are following the new "Can Spam" legislation so that you don't get identified as a spammer because you aren't clearly identifying yourself in the body of the email. There are also services out there that will verify that you are legit. If changing the header doen't fix your problem, I would check these out.

CFLDAP and French characters on CFMX
Hi, I am having trouble with CFLDAP and Fench (accented) characters. Any accented character is being returned as a non-printable character. I used the ASC() function to see what it was and it is a 65533. This worked fine on CF 5. So far I have tried CFCONTENT and CFProcessingDirective to to specify encodings but to no avail.

There is no silver bullet. To paraphrase an old adage, "one man's email
is another man's spam." The problem is that the definition of spam is
subjective. Some people (and software) will tell you that using certain
phrases ("Earn money in your sleep while increasing the size of your
manhood and losing weight by working from your home.") qualifies as
spam. Others will tell you that email you didn't specifically ask for
is spam ("Click here to receive mail from anyone that pays us enough
money to be loosely defined as a business partner"). Still more will
define as being anything they just don't want to read, regardless of
the source or reason for reception.
At work (not hofo.com), my employer sends out millions (no joke) of
emails a week through companies that have lists of email addresses that
supposedly meet one demographic or another. These companies have all
signed statements that affirm the lists were obtained "legitimately".
That is, these people knowingly (or unknowingly) checked (or unchecked)
a little box on a form somewhere that said "send me information about
something". Of course, I personally don't believe that all the
addresses are legitimate, there are just too many of them (but I also
don't have the pull to force the validation of these millions of
addresses). Some of the lists had to have had beginnings with address
harvesters. Or the user may have signed up for information from some
company back before privacy statements were de rigeur for websites. The
company sold your email address and interest preferences to someone
else, who resold it, ad nauseum.
Then again, my employer also sends email to people who went to our
website and filled out a form that said "I'm interested in this
product, send me information." They send something out right away. In
the absence of a sale, they also do a followup 60 to 90 days or a year
later (an accepted marketing practice), the person doesn't remember
they wanted information and cries foul. Thus it is spam, even though
the recipient initiated the one-to-one contact.
The best you can do is to:
- make all information requests obviously opt-in
- keep decent records of when the person asked for email (the lawyers
will come for you, trust me): their name, email address, IP address
used for the request, and timestamp.
- keep records of what you sent when to whom, matchable to when the
person asked for the information.
- make opt-out provisions obvious on the email and your website.
- be sure the opt-out solution is functional, and record these actions
as well - some people are cynical enough not to believe any opt-out
form is actually going to do so, but you can't not have it.
IMHO, I wouldn't even bother with the spam filter testing. The phrase
triggers and thresholds in SpamAssassin and the like are admin
configurable and thus subjective at the admin level. Bayesian filtering
(you gotta love it) is even more subjective, but better because this
can be done at the user level, and will in theory separate spam from
ham. In my experience with Bayesian filtering in OS X Mail, this can be
defeated by conversational phrasing or the latest trick, using a
paragraph of words that are legitimate dictionary words but aren't in
most people's common vocabulary. These words don't appear in the token
list from previous emails and skew the probability towards ham.

Printable forms in HTML
Does anyone have experience with producing an official form in HTML that can also be printed? I am required to take a pre-existing official form (hard copy, not electronic) and make it appear in HTML for end users. I have to query some of the information on the form from a database. The user needs to be able to print this HTML page to local printer and not lose the formatting. Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Advanced search examples, field based searches
Sam, sounds like I may have some tools that fit the bill. Question though, you mentioned about "non-technical end user", well, if so, IMHO, they are less likely to know AND/OR/NOT operators and let alone RELATIONS etc., on the other hands, there might be a group of savvy users who know about them, and I have tools for both types of users.

Re: Printable forms in HTML
Well printing from the web is a nasty piece of work ;-) If you can I'd suggest making a PDF document instead of doing this in HTML. There are packages such as iText.jar (found on SorceForge) that will allow you to dynamically create the PDF (as you mentioned needing to run some queries which I assume means the form may have a few versions) HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Re: Proving you are legitimate from CFMail
>> I keep getting errors about my mails being bounced as spam. I know someone who has the same problem. Messages sent by his CF server are rejected by my ISP because the message header does not contain a Message-ID header although this is mandatory according to standard. I don't think the CF server should put this header, but you should check with the Mail server your CF server is sending messages through.

Re: Issue with Loops and queries
Here is what I ended up coming up with.
Select CatID as itemid ,
Category as description,
ParentId as ParentItemID,
catlevel,
catid,
category,
parentid
From Categories_internal
order by Orderby desc
Query="#listcategories#"
ReturnVar="listcategories">
Select id,catid_internal
From articles
Where catid_internal = #catid#
and getdate() between starttime and endtime
aux1 = insFld(foldersTree, gFld("#category#", "#request.self#?fuseaction=#fusebox.targetcircuit#.content&catid=#catid#"))
aux#(catlevel+1)# = insFld(aux#catlevel#, gFld("#category#", "#request.self#?fuseaction=#fusebox.targetcircuit#.content&catid=#catid#"))
Now the issue I have and Mike D I hope you're reading this, when I write the query like this, whether it's in a stored procedure or not, the make tree tag chokes completely and takes up all processor time.
Select Categories_internal.CatID as itemid ,
Categories_internal.Category as description,
Categories_internal.ParentId as ParentItemID,
Categories_internal.catlevel,
Categories_internal.catid,
Categories_internal.category,
Categories_internal.parentid
From Categories_internal inner join articles on (Categories_internal.catid = articles.catid_internal)
Where getdate() between articles.starttime and articles.endtime
order by Categories_internal.Orderby desc
This would have allowed me to do one query instead of looping over the queries to see which associated category has an article that has expired and shouldn't be used.
I'm using the latest version of your tag Mike. Any insight?

Re: Advanced search examples, field based searches
Sam, I think the best model you can use is the one employed by google. Some users may already be familiar with the syntax, as its more usable than AND/OR/NOT. It's not that hard to roll your own based on the principles google uses, as I've done it a number of times before. You should also check into your database to see if it offers and sort of amplifier support. I belive Oracle does, as well as phonetic engines. -adam > -Original Message- > From: Chunshen (Don) Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 07:30 PM > To: 'CF-Talk' > Subject: Re: Advanced search examples, field based searches > > Sam, sounds like I may have some tools that fit the bill.

RE: Proving you are legitimate from CFMail
Make sure your e-mail server has a reverse lookup in DNS so that your IP can be validated to your host-name. This is a huge problem in my limited experience with SMTP. You may want to consider adding an SPF or caller-ID record to DNS as well. In case you are not familiar with SPF here is a link: "http://spf.pobox.com". It isn't very widely implemented yet but many antispam vendors and even AOL are in various stages of implementation. If the messages are HTML you might want to make them mulitpart MIME, HTML only messages send up a red flag. -Nate -Original Message- From: Craig Earls [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 12:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Proving you are legitimate from CFMail I am developing a service that sends email to registered users about upcoming events.

RE: Printable forms in HTML
Will the user be required to print the form after completing the form or will the form be popluated with information from the database? For printing solutions I would go the PDF route. You can use either FDF (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/forms.jsp) some useful tutorials on this can be found at http://www.cfcomet.com or you can use iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/), a free Java based API for creating and manipulating PDF documents. You can create your form in PDF not HTML and force it to load in the browser and use either FDF or iText (of the FDF options in iText!) to populate the information from the DB. If the user has to enter additional information on the form then they can do so and then print it straight from the browser with no loss in formatting. Printing HTML forms especially in IE can be a pain. The only caveat is that the client must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. If you need to use HTML and know that your clients will be using IE (windows) only you can try ScriptX (http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx/index.asp) which allows you to specify certain printing options. There is a free and commercial license, you can obviously do much more using the commercial version but the free option gives you quite a rich set of options. HTH.

RE: Printable forms in HTML
Does this stuff or anything else allow me to take a formatted pdf (that contains merged data) and print it to disk... specifically, to a .ps like what Acrobat Distiller would use? I need to store a .ps source document for every document. I have a system I built for an insurance company that churns out documents constantly. Presently the system prints everything to disk in .ps, where its stored forever. From there it either gets distilled to a PDF or sent to a postscript printer. I want to move this thing to a CF-based intranet if I can. I can use CF to send a .ps to a printer and have it print, no problem at all. What I can't figure out is how to make the .ps file programmatically. -- --- Matt Robertson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com --- -- [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
