Re: Dreamweaver Autocomplete
i did dl eclipse again to take another look but its kinda a pain in the ass too set up and was hoping to use it as a quick fix to dive into code without opening dw. :( looks a lot better than before though as for dw just cause it doesnt act just like cf studio doesnt mean its bad, might just be different as u'd expect since it has to handle far more then cf studio did. Its always a bit frusterating when using something else, see above with cfeclipse and me tonight. But once u realize the power then u dont look back. I think snippets are friggin great, plus their portability is wonderful, its the one thing i can count on not having to reinstall (except to copy paste) when reinstalling the piece o shit OS (aka winxp). Now when i go back to hs+, it looks like just what it is, OLD... -- Original Message -- From: Spike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 22:58:57 -0700 Dreamweaver is indeed a nice product, but I tend to be biased towards cfeclipse. It's got most of the features I need because I put them there ;) I have used CFStudio, Homesite 5.5 , Homesite+ and DreamWeaver extensively. None of them had some of the features I thought were important for development with CFMX, so I started working on the cfeclipse project. We are slowly creeping towards the point where it's a hands down winner over DW and Homesite in some areas, but there's still a lot of work to be done. As with any editor, individual experiences may differ and as I said, I'm biased :) Spike Mike Kear wrote: And with DreamweaverMX too. For example, I like to use CTRL-ALT-C to wrap selected text in a CF Comment. So I have a snippet that is set to put ![ before the selected text, and ] after it, then assigned that snippet to the keyboard shortcut CTRL-ALT-C. Now, I select text, hit the keyboard shortcut and i have a coldfusion comment that I think is neater than the standard one because it has the neat little square brackets around the commented text. I started out as a very less-than-gruntled studio fan and forced myself to learn about Dreamweaver. Never mind why, I just did ok? And I've become a fan of DWMX. I have since worked at shops that use Studio or Homesite and I can honestly say that while Studio is a good product, and I can happily work with it, I know both DWMX and Studio very well, and prefer DWMX. It's easy to say, this feature doesnt work exactly as it does in Studio therefore its no good, but get used to it and I reckon you'll be a fan of the product too. Nearly everything you wanted to do in Studio can be done in DWMX, and sometimes in a slightly different way. But it has scores of additional features that arent in the other tools.

You can specify a unique set of trigger characters for each snippet. If you type those characters followed by ctrl+i (or whatever custom shortcut you change that to) it will insert the full snippet with your cursor at the position between the start and end blocks of the snippet. You can do a lot more than that if you also use snippet variables, but that's probably getting a bit off topic. Of course, if you don't want to, or can't use cfelcipse then that's a moot point, but I thought was worth mentioning.

RE: exception handling, kindly help
I didn't read all the previous posts, but here are some thoughts: 1. cferror and cftry/catch are 2 different things. If you catch an exception, the exception disappears and doesn't throw an error. 2. You have a lot of the info that you would have in the error scope in the cfcatch scope too. 3. the error template will always open in the frame where the error occurred 4. if you use cferror, any variable set before the error occurred should still exist. We use fusebox and then it is not to hard to apply the correct design to the templates, but even without that it should be possible.

Have you set a timeout for cfexecute, could that be the case? You could also try running something else that takes time, to pinpoint if the problem actually is curl (which I don't think... ?). You can also capture any stdout/stderr message, for instance by piping it through tee or just re-directing it to a file (from the batch-file). Without a timeout the template continues fine but curl hangs and leaves me 100 or so running processes to end each morning. With a timeout (of any value, take your pick) the template exits with a timeout error because curl has crashed and leaves me 100 or so running processes to end each morning. Pings and tracerts work just fine with cfexecute (tracerts take longer than the 3 seconds curl is taking), however if I run curl from a batch file it works fine from a command prompt but not from cfexecute so I am convinced the problem is the way CF interacts with curl. There are no stdout or stderr messages, the process just hangs. -- Jay ~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=35 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:181982 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: CF developer numbers
The biggest gripe that I hear about ColdFusion from *sssooo* many people is product cost. At $1,299 for standard and $5,999 for the enterprise, its a steep barrier to entry compared to PHP and ASP/ASP.Net (as free alternatives). And yes, I've read all of the posts and counterpoints to the *free* software vs.ColdFusion debate (including Ben Forta's analysis) so it's not even worth mentioning. Perception is what's hurting ColdFusion, not functionality. I went through this same process when I developed in PowerBuilder. It came out and revolutionized the way Windows-based client/server apps were built. It had a strong run of about 5 years until MS brought Visual Basic up to par and offerred VB at cut rate prices, essentially cutting off PowerBuilder at the knees. I'm seeing many similarities with this and the ColdFusion product line. I think BlueDragon is a good alternative and luckily, their standard version is free but I'm wondering if it may be too little, too late.

Re: 6.1 updater breaks cfdumping cfcatch, but this may help
Sean, Any ETA on this hot fix? Dan I spoke to the CF product team and this is what they said (my paraphrasing): A fix is currently in the works and will be posted as a hotfix in the near future on the ColdFusion Support site. The updater included a fix for duplicate() to make deep copies of objects. However, exceptions are problematic because they can be self-referencing so duplicate() only makes shallow copies of Throwable objects (native Java exceptions). Unfortunately, cfdump relies on duplicate() to convert Throwable objects into CF exception objects which means that it now fails to report certain types of exceptions correctly. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/ Dan O'Keefe ~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=36 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:181995 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: CSS and Debugging
I have found a quick fix for this is to add a div to the bottom of your site, while debugging. Give this div a style with clear:both;. It will force anything above it in code to be above and anything below to be below. This could be on your normal footer which I do sometimes, but if you layout doesnt allow for that then a temporary div can do the trick. Hope that helps. simeon On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 00:57:57 -0400, Umer Farooq [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It depends on what kind of data you need to present.

This is happening -- but i don't think it has been targeted -- just the process of natural selection -- a case of the users defining the market rather than (or maybe in spite of) the manufacturers. CF gets installed into a lot of Gov and Edu sites and they often form their own teams to develop and maintain the apps (like in our case, where many of the full-time CF developers are in permanent positions and the more casual users are still able to do some of the work). The industry sees CF as a niche product (ref: Gartner Research) and I think this is probably that niche. If CF is relegated to a niche product, then the IT web development professionals are doing themselves a tremendous disservice. The fact that that CF is easy to learn for a lay person (or incidental developer) does not detract from its power, or applicability to more sophisticated applications.

More IIS/J2EE configuration installation issues
For those of you who have installed ColdFusion 6.1 J2EE instances and hooked them to
IIS:
When we store our files in the IIS web site's root, they work fine. But when we try
to store the files in the {jrun root}\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war folder,
the server returns a 404.
It would seem to me that it would make more sense to store the files in the ear-war.
(Why have EAR server instances if you can't store everything under the EAR?) Where do
you guys store your web site files when using this configuration? If it is under the
JRun server root instead of the IIS root, do you have any tips on how to get this to
work?

Hello all,
I have an ASP.NET web service that I am trying to invoke from a CF page. The method
appears in the components section of DW if I add the web service, and I can test it ok
using aspx, but I keep getting the error
Web service operation registerParticipant with parameters
{eventId={test},lastName={doo},status={paid},registration={registered},firstName={scooby},}
could not be found. when I try to consume it via ColdFusion.
The method is:
registerParticipant(eventId, firstName, lastName, status, registration) with all
String type arguments, and that's all I'm passing it
Anyone have any leads as to what to examine? All the other WebMethod's in this asmx
file are invocable without problem. Any thoughts are appreciated!

After applying the updater my classes are now being placed under the IIS webroot (ie. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses). Is there anyway to have my classes saved in the Jrun directory like they were before I applied the updater?

It must be relative to the webapp root. and the value is currently /WEB-INF/cfclasses, but I'm not sure what the value should be to have the classes compiled to the Jrun directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: OT: CSS Class vs ID?
Yes, you can nest IDs. There isn't a right one for referencing a
certain element. If the element is unique in a document, use ID, but
if it's one of many, use class. Classes are more general, so I tend
to use those when I can, reserving ids mostly for page layout tasks
(rather than formatting and such), but that's nothing more than a
really loose guideline I use.

Is form.evaluation_required some sort of reserved name?
I'm have a really weird problem here...I've got a form, and one of the fields is called 'evaluation_required' - it's a Yes/No field with values of 1/0. The column in the database has the same name, and is a BIT field (technically TINYINT(1) since MySQL has no real BIT, but...). When I submit the form including that field, I receive this error message: Form Entries Incomplete or Invalid One or more problems exist with the data you have entered. * 0 Use the Back button on your web browser to return to the previous page and correct the listed problems. Obviously the 0 can either be 0 or 1, and I checked, it bombs on both values (and any other value for that matter). It also bombs regardless of what type of form field I use (select, text, radio, hidden, etc.), but when I change the field name to evaluation_required2, it goes through just fine. I did a quick search on Google for 'form.evaluation_required' and 'evaluation_required' and turned up nothing related to ColdFusion. Has anyone ever run into this before? I've never known form.evaluation_required to be an illegal field name...is it? Thanks. Cassidy -- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft.

Re: Is form.evaluation_required some sort of reserved name?
Yes, anything that ends with _required is processed as a server-side validation instruction by CF when the form is submitted, regarding the field named the same as the part before that string. So in your case, CF is doing validation to ensure that the evaluation form field is present. Unfortunately, there's no way to turn off that behaviour. To avoid it, I usually camelCase my variable names; no underscores means no hijacking. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 09:40:47 -0700, Cassidy Symons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm have a really weird problem here...I've got a form, and one of the fields is called 'evaluation_required' - it's a Yes/No field with values of 1/0.

In CF5, fieldname_required in a form checks that form.fieldname exists and has a value. -Original Message- From: Cassidy Symons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 12:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Is form.evaluation_required some sort of reserved name?

Re: Is form.evaluation_required some sort of reserved name?
Until MM ensures that only hidden form fields are considered for server side form validation. Which would be impossible, since the hiddenness of a form variable is only client-side, not server-side, so there's no way for CF to know whether a field was hidden or not, unless it somehow preprocessed the form before it was sent to the client and remembered for the submission, and even that would be dependant on the form being served from the same session as the submission is sent to. Now that is a run-on sentance. ; ) cheers, barneyb On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 12:49:17 -0400, Tangorre, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ColdFusion server side processing is kicking in due to the _required on the field name.

Re: More IIS/J2EE configuration installation issues
When we store our files in the IIS web site's root, they work fine. But
when we try to store the files in the {jrun

You specified a WebRoot when you installed your J2EE ColdFusion Instance,
this is where you need put your files.
The *.ear and *.war are Enterprise Java Packages (just like CFMX under

It would seem to me that it would make more sense to store the files in

do you have any tips on how to get this to work?

Re: CF developer numbers
Beta was a superior format to VHS Amiga was a superior multimedia PC compared to PC-Clones or even Macs Apple's OS is more user friendly than Windows. Being better functionality wise doesn't guarantee market penetration or even survival. Just something to think about... -Original Message- From: Rey Bango Date: 10/20/04 9:37 am To: CF-Talk Subj: Re: CF developer numbers The biggest gripe that I hear about ColdFusion from *sssooo* many people is product cost. At $1,299 for standard and $5,999 for the enterprise, its a steep barrier to entry compared to PHP and ASP/ASP.Net (as free alternatives). And yes, I've read all of the posts and counterpoints to the *free* software vs.ColdFusion debate (including Ben Forta's analysis) so it's not even worth mentioning. Perception is what's hurting ColdFusion, not functionality. I went through this same process when I developed in PowerBuilder. It came out and revolutionized the way Windows-based client/server apps were built. It had a strong run of about 5 years until MS brought Visual Basic up to par and offerred VB at cut rate prices, essentially cutting off PowerBuilder at the knees. I'm seeing many similarities with this and the ColdFusion product line. I think BlueDragon is a good alternative and luckily, their standard version is free but I'm wondering if it may be too little, too late.

OT: Browser-Based HTML Editor
I'm looking to replace our current HTML editor, and was wondering what recommendations everyone has. My core requirement is when pasting content from Word, the crappy Word HTML isn't pasted. I've only found one that has this feature, r.a.d.editor from telerik. But their tag line is The high-end WYSIWGY editor for ASP.NET. Nuff said. I've found a bunch of editors that have functions that will clean word html, but I can't trust a user to be responsible enough to do that. SOEditor from SiteObjects has some great HTML cleaning functions but I want them to be applied automatically when pasted. My other requirement is that is supports CSS. Any ideas? recommendations?

Not in the stylesheet. You can do it through javascript, but
usually I prefer just to change the class of the element instead
of editing the stylesheet. I.e., to add a class to an element if
it doesn't exist and remove it if it does exist I use:
function swapClass(theElement, theClass) {
var classArray = theElement.className.split(/\s+/);
for (var i = 0; i classArray.length; i++) {
if (classArray[i] == theClass) {
classArray.splice(i, 1);
theElement.className = classArray.join(' ');
return;
}
}
classArray.push(theClass);
theElement.className = classArray.join(' ');
}

CFMX6.1, Windows 2003, and verification failure
We're installing CFMX 6.1 (with the latest Updater) on a set of new Windows 2003 Web Edition Servers, fresh out of the box. CF is not finding our remote mail server (Connection Verification Failed!), and it does not find data on mapped drives on our LAN. We've changed the Logon privileges to ./Administrator, to no avail. It does find the ODBC data sources, which are also on a remote server. We run similar configurations - CFMX 6.1 and CF 5.0 - on Windows 2000 Server machines with no problems.

Re: OT: CSS Class vs ID?
What if you want to change the attributes of some related items?
Say you have table cells:
tr
td id=col1row 1 column 1/td
td id=col2row 1 column 2/td
/tr
tr
td id=col1row 2 column 1/td
td id=col2row 2 column 2/td
/tr
*
*
*
You can change the column width for all cells in the column with:
document.getElementById(col1).style.width = 100;
This works with Safari, Mozilla, Firefox -- Haven't tested in IE yet.
You can't accomplish this with class because there is no
getElementByClass method

Maybe you can, but it is illegal to have multiple elements with
the same id.

getElementByClass method
whatever = document.getElementByTagName(tr);
for (var i = 0; i whatever.length; i++) {
whatever[i].firstChild.style.width = 100;
}
Or if you insist on using a class:
whatever = document.getElementByTagName(tr);
for (var i = 0; i whatever.length; i++) {
swapClass(whatever[i].firstChild, some_100px_class);
}

Re: OT: CSS Class vs ID?
Hi,
Either method is correct but id's must be unique per document. Classes
may be applied to multiple elements and instances in a single document,
so in some instances a class offers more flexibility. I use id's as
often as possible because I find them to be more human readable and
because they produce, in my opinion, cleaner markup and a more logically
structured stylesheet. Other benefits of using id's include easy
identification of document sections, the ability to easily combine or
override properties and values for an element using both an id and a
class, higher specificity in the cascade, and finner control when
working with JavaScript.
You can see an example of what I mean when I say cleaner and more
readable code here: http://www.961media.com/temp/usingids.htm

Re: CF to make Dynamic CSS
with your LINK tag, rather than referencing a CSS file, reference a CFM file that just happens to generate valid CSS. Or, an easier solution is to just emebed the CSS directly in the page. You're not going to lose anything by doing it this way if you're already using a dynamic CSS file. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 17:32:45 +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm trying to think of a way to change values in a css file using CF.

Re: CF to make Dynamic CSS
I'm trying to think of a way to change values in a css file using CF. How
can I write
to a css file? Any thoughts?
You can serve a .cfm as CSS, just add the proper mime-type:
cfcontent type=text/css; charset=ISO-8859-1
body{
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: cfoutput#url.size#/cfoutputpx;
}
Be aware that browsers try to cache the css files and this may conflict with
what you are trying to do.
Of course, you may set the HTTP headers for the CSS file to avoid letting
the browser cache it, but that may be not so good as well...
Finally, you may split the CSS into two files:
1) A static CSS file, with the bulk of the rules; the browser is welcome to
cache it
2) A .cfm file served as CSS, containg only the dynamic rules. Here you
may prevent the browser to cache the file
Hope it will help

RE: CF to make Dynamic CSS
We do this. Firstly we created a file mapping called cssx which maps to CF server in IIS then we save out our css with the cssx file extension and the cf code we want in there... Then in the HTML the link to the stylesheet is style.cssx or whatever you call it That way CF handles all the requests for files with the cssx extension and allows you to have dynamic css.

RE: CF developer numbers
When I worked at Kennedy Space center it was a very interesting setup, we had a dev group for CF, one for ASP, one for JAVA, and one using PL/SQL in Oracle. All of the teams were developing web-based applications, although the CF group was using it more for Dynamic websites, than for actual web apps, until we started using it to integrate with the ESRI GIS software for web-based mapping apps. My point though (if there is one) was it really showed me how the same objective can be achieved with many different technologies and the success of the project really depended on how well the dev team knew what they were doing. CF was definitely the best choice for the dynamic websites, fast dev time and cheaper labor than the java or oracle guys, but for the apps each team really seemed to have their stuff together, no group really stood out in terms of efficiency or organization of project.

Re: css ?
Hi,
You could also place this in your stylesheet:
#altBackground {
background-image: none;
background-color: white;
}
Then use body id=altBackground on the pages you wish to override.
The only advantages this offers are that it keeps your CSS in your
stylesheet rather than having inline markup you'll have to maintain
later and allows you to easily reuse the same style for other pages if
the need arises.

RE: CFMX6.1, Windows 2003, and verification failure
We're installing CFMX 6.1 (with the latest Updater) on a set of new Windows 2003 Web Edition Servers, fresh out of the box. CF is not finding our remote mail server (Connection Verification Failed!), and it does not find data on mapped drives on our LAN. We've changed the Logon privileges to ./Administrator, to no avail. It does find the ODBC data sources, which are also on a remote server. We run similar configurations - CFMX 6.1 and CF 5.0 - on Windows 2000 Server machines with no problems. We know that there are significant differences between the default services/permissions in Windows 2003 versus Windows 2000, but can't find anything which should cause this problem. Has anyone else experienced this difficulty? Can you access your mail server using the MS telnet client from that server's console? As for the mapped drives, drive mappings generally belong to specific users. If you're running CF with a user account that has persistent drive mappings, it should be able to use them. If not, you can just use UNC paths if you're running CF as a user with rights to the appropriate UNC shares.

Re: SQL Deadlock
Unfortunately there is no silver bullet for the problem of deadlocking...they are a fact of life in multi-user, real-time applications. However, you can do some things to severely limit the chances of them occurring, and for properly handling them when they do. Deadlocks occurr when Process A locks up a resource while executing, at the same time, Process B fires up and locks another resource. In the course of operating, Process A suddenly needs the resource that Process B has locked, so it waits. Before Process B can finish, it requires a resource locked by Process A. The resulting deadlock means neither process will ever end. The database manager resolves the situation by selectively killing one of the processes. Things you can do to help: - Break up large processes into smaller, compartmentalized chunks. The longer a process is running, and the greater number of resources it locks while executing, the better the chances of a deadlock. - Always use cftransaction in conjunction with your compartments to ensure proper rollback in case of an error. - Trap deadlock errors using try...catch, display a user friendly error to the user (perhaps give them another chance to fire off the process). - Depending on the database, you may be able to do some tweeks with how the DB sets its locks (ie row locking vs. table locking). I'm not an expert at this stuff, but i think it can be something to look into.

Re: CF developer numbers
I come across this stance occasionally and I am always careful to point out to management in my company that by using ColdFusion we are using Java. I have CF Enterprise running in J2EE configuration and I am in the process of installing it on servers that will also host other Java-based non-CF apps. Essentially, my stance is that CFMX is just another Java application in our infrastructure, one that has the specific purpose of making it faster and easier for us to develop custom applications. In this respect I distinguish it from PHP and ASP (both of which we have running one or two small legacy things internally) because CFMX fits in our Java infrastructure and the others do not. If I have two servers setup with J2EE, I can install all of my apps on those servers, including CFMX, and load-balance the individual apps as needed. If I need more capacity, I just scale horizontally by adding additional servers, and any or all of the apps can be added to the new server. In terms of the industry, I go back to something I posted about several years ago on the forums when the migration of CF to Java was first announced. Basically the industry has boiled down to the Java world and the Microsoft world. I haven't seen any really recent market data, but I get the sense that PHP is still a third wheel with a broad base but relatively shallow depth of use overall. Maybe I'm wrong there are the world has become a three-way battle- Microsoft, Java, and open-source, I would be interested to know if anyone has seen up to date research on that topic. From an individual career standpoint, we all need to learn more to stay competitive. Java is a good additional skillset for CF developers to have. I agree completely, but there's no telling this to the Java snobs who insist that we must use Java exclusively, because they do and CF is just for beginners. All of this leads to Gartner recommending that we all migrate from CF to Java or ASP (because CF is a niche product) and the managers of the businesses that hire contractors read Gartner's research. -Original Message- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 20 October 2004 10:36 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF developer numbers On Oct 19, 2004, at 6:47 PM, James Holmes wrote: [snip] If CF is relegated to a niche product, then the IT web development professionals are doing themselves a tremendous disservice.

Each element in that list can then also be treated as a list with = as the delimiter. Knowing that, there are several avenues you can take. You can create an array out of the main list (as Oasim suggested), which will give you an array of just the name/value pairs. You can then extract each value treating each element in that array as a list with 2 items (delimited by =). Or, you can loop over the main list (string), and similarly extract the names and values.
