CFCHART
Hi, Is it possible to add (different) mouseover effects to the "URL" in CFCHART? I would like to add a DHTML function but whatever I add stops the popUP function from working. (this works ok and creates a popUp box passing "ID" in the url) url=""> any suggestions? Andrew.

I've thought the lack of Nulls was strange since my first encounter with CF 3.0 (!998). It has always seemed odd that we were spoofing interaction with Null db fields. Now, with the ability to closely interact with Java it seems even odder, that we need to cobble together some kludge to resolve Nulls. This is one of those annoying things (like alphabetically sorted query ciomumnList) that you wonder why they just don't fix it. Mmmm... BD fixed columnList, maybe they will support Nulls.

I don't feel it's a crucial issue and likely the yield is not worth the time to implement it. (I say this, knowing that issues I feel have been critical have not been addressed because others have felt the same way about them. Them's the breaks I suppose.) Personally I think the lack of nulls in CF is far more troublesome than the lack of strong-typing and if I had to prioritize them, nulls would be way up near the top of my list, while stong typing would be way down toward the bottom. Others aren't bothered by the lack of nulls in CF and have the opinion of them that I have of strong typing. I don't know if this has anything to do with their not being implemented - they may still not have been included largely due to the technical challenges involved in adding them so late. Imo the best workaround I've found for them is still a kludge - I create a structure and treat values not found in the structure as null values. Typically this structure is passed as the attribute collection to a custom tag or as an argument to a function which then contains a switch to determine whether those nulls should be ignored or forwarded on to the database. It works but even still it's not as precise as I'd like. The only other workarounds I've seen have been to use the word 'null', empty strings or worse in place of null values, often using the word 'null' as the name of a variable, which beyond being ugly is courting disaster, i.e. . I suppose if I were going to use a simple value to represent nulls, I'd have to opt for a non-printing character that's not used for much of anything else, like the ascii beep code. (chr(7) iirc). In any event, that's what I'm not happy with. :) s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477&DE=1 [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
