Using quote marks to represent inches breaks my javascript
How do you Americans get around this? I have a client who's selling off-road racing car parts, and has a lot of American parts. He's entering data into the database now, and some of the items have double quote marks in teh descriptions to designate inches. When I come to list out the products using the two-selects-related tag, the double quotes break the javascript. I've tried replacing the quotes in the insert statement, changing the quotes to " but that terminates the javascript early too. I've tried changing the quotes to ” (the close curly quotes) and that lists in the boxes as ”. So how can i get around this, given that we want to display the description with double quotes if we can rather than using 'in' or 'inches'. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com .com,.net,.org domains from AUD$20/Year ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187240 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: Using quote marks to represent inches breaks my javascript
take a look at JSStringFormat() a CF function. It will do the escaping for you.

Re: Blackstone Beta
> Yes, .NET has a steep learning curve, but like any language, get over > it, and from then on you will experience the true power. > Micha has swerved into what my point was EXACTLY! And I appreciate it! The steep learning curve is lessening due to the new .NET designers like Iron Speed. It gives CF guys like me even MORE reason to delve into the .NET world. Yes I've done some coding with it, and yes it's insane compared to CF! I love coding CF. But be honest with yourselves guys! .NET smokes CF in power! It just does! I'm sorry, it isn't my fault. I'm just trying to draw attention to it so CF is pushed to the limit. Here's Tim Uzzanti, Owner of CrystalTech. I would think Tim knows a thing or two. "If you believe CF can handle the same traffic loads that .NET can handle, then you are completely confused on the technologies and their infrastructure. I have no idea if 75% of fortune 100% companies use CF, I would love to see some documentation for that, but the Fortune 100 companies ARE NOT the Top 100 sites on the Internet either! Asking someone who maintains and manages 10,000 hosted applications on Cold Fusion and someone who manages thousands of .NET applications would probably give you a pretty good opinion of what they see? Is it in my BEST interest to tell a customer not to use CF, or is it in my best interest to suggest what might be the best technologies from my experiences on their requirements? Someone mentioned ediet.com which has a traffic ranking of around 280,000 and in comparison CrystalTech is around 23,000. Microsoft.com which is in the top 10 is using ASP.NET and Dell.COM which is in the top 100 is also using ASP.NET Regarding the back end of Cold Fusion: CFMX is much better than CF5 but still has many limitations and quirks that we have see and deal with every day. I am not saying that CF doesnt have the ability to grow with larger sites because it has features like the ability to cluster machines and the classes are compiled etc. What I am saying is, if you would like to build an application that can last longer on certain hardware or run more optimally, CF is not the way to go! Cold Fusion MX out of the box has a setting to support no more than 10 simultaneous requests at one time. Macromedia suggestions that you never exceed 40 and this isnt optimal for a large scale sites. There are other settings and issues from a server administration standpoint that hinder CFMX from out performing .NET There are other factors that one needs to think about when writing an application. Think about the ability to use Threads in .NET. Depending on your application, sitting and processing 10 requests back to back may take 5 minutes but if you had the ability to run the 10 tasks concurrently you may be able to respond back to the customer in 30 seconds. You have to realize, .NET isnt just a web based language, it is a Development language for desktop and server applications as well. CrystalTech uses SmarterMail which is built on the .NET and it outperforms all other mail servers that are built on C and C++. One last comment that I would also provide to a potential customer who may want to move from a shared environment to a dedicated environment is that you will need to purchase a license for CFMX. If this is a large site and will expand to multiple servers then they will need to purchase a $4,500 license possibly x 2... Again, this isn't something that affects CT, but would affect the customer..." ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187239 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

In my case, it launches a modified version of CFFM ( http://www.webworksllc.com/cffm ), which allows them to select an image already on the server, or upload new files, and manipulate images (resize, scale, rotate, flip, flop). I've just had a thought! Currently, CFFM only has a configure option for disallowed file extensions. I guess it might be wise to also offer the ability to allow only certain extensions.. like "gif,png,jpg", so that people could only upload web image files. - Rick ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187238 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

Yes, .NET has a steep learning curve, but like any language, get over it, and from then on you will experience the true power.

I very much doubt it. Such "4GL" application building systems have been around for decades and they haven't killed the hand-coder yet. Why? Because they don't do 100% of the job. They are, by nature, generic and try to cater for every developer and every application.

>My point in posting in the first place is this. MM/Blackstone is >putting a rear spoiler and ground effects kit on a Toyota (CF), >while Microsoft is driving a Ferrari (asp.net). What is MM gonna >do when the Ferrari is pulling away? Add those funky lookin' tailights? Will, I don't think this is a valid metaphor. MX/Blackstone are pure Java applications, and Java's no Toyota. CF more like a BMW M3. Now, without the sequential manual gearbox and traction control, most of us wouldn't be too good behind the wheel of one: we'd constantly be misshifting and throwing the rear end around on turns. Java and CF are the same way: when I need to develop something for the web, I don't want to worry about all of the complexity and pitfalls in Java, but still want to produce a J2EE application, and ColdFusion makes it very easy to do so. Realistically, asp.net is more like one of those kit cars that turns a mid-80s Pontiac Fiero into something that looks like a Ferrari. Slap on an shiny grid control and some automatically generated code (well, a lot. I mean a lot. Tons. Open that "don't touch this" region sometime in your code-behind.) and it starts to look pretty impressive, while the engine itself is a little shakey. While the tools are nice, the "engine" that's created takes some serious tuning, tweaking, and know-how to get an application that's something other than a resource and bandwidth hog. A real Ferrari is hard enough to maintain, much less an imitation you built in your garage with some preformed parts... I'm beginning to commonly see viewstate values exceeding 200kb (ran into a 3mb the other day!), and if I have to look at one more app where everything is named "SqlDataAdapter1 and the like, I'm going to leave some hollow shells of egos in my verbal wake. This over-reliance on automatic tools, and a lack of people reading Microsoft's own best practices, warnings, and recommendations will come back to bite you in an enterprise setting. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of .NET. For building backend and business logic tiers, it's a great environment. I just think ASP.NET is a little wonky, and the tools aren't helping the wonkiness. As for MM's reaction to Enzo's machine driving off, well, I think the publically known features of Blackstone show exactly what MM's up to: they've listened to the developers in their largest market areas, and are providing some amazing new features in the same easy-to-use style they always have. Now, if we really want to push the car metaphor, why is Microsoft still tinkering with its XAML supercar while Flex is already tearing up some highways? -- For Tabs, Trees, and more, use the jComponents: http://clearsoftware.net/client/jComponents.cfm ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187227 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: Spammer fills out my order form - how to stop
I had a similar problem with a guestbook (a basic form) on a site I was maintaining for a patient support group. The links were pornographic and the group was getting quite upset about them. I had to explain to them that there was no way to prevent this if they wanted to keep the guestbook, since by definition it was for guests :) However, I was able to at least temporarily solve the problem by changing the url of the guestbook. Since I have moved on to other things, I am not sure whether the problem has recurred, but last I heard it hadn't.

RE: Spammer fills out my order form - how to stop
Others have suggested a CAPTCHA which would work, but in this case it seems like you could just return an error if you find any HTML in the comments field. I doubt it's a human doing it so this would, I think, effectively derail the bot. If you are going to a CAPTCHA you could go simple and see if that solves your problem first. You don't have to do full images and everything to deal with simple (and occasional) bots (in other words bots that won't bother customizing themselves for you). Create a short list of simple questions. Ask one as a validation of humanity. For example "Is there a circle in our logo?", "Does our logo have a bird in it?", "How many letters does our name have?" and so forth. If it is a stray bot it won't bother figuring it out. If it is (an obviously insane) human then they will - and you know you have to go to further lengths. But just checking for HTML seems the easiest way to start - it doesn't change your user experience and would, with luck, stop the problem.

Of course that is the point - everything leapfrogs each other (while, it seems, Java stays in the past...) Right now BOTH CF and .NET (and, I'll admit it, JSP and PHP) are very capable languages with a lot of useful abstractions. .NET, it might said, took much of it's inspiration from CF and in many areas topped it. (Remember all those ASP developers pining for debugging information "like I see in ColdFusion 3"?) It's not a statement of worth however, just a statement of... well, state. CFMX tops .NET in several areas but .NET definitely tops it in others. Blackstone will reverse some of this, but not all. The next version of the .NET will come out and leap frog (in places) again. The one that's currently "on top" doesn't really mean all that much to me as long as they're both moving in the right direction - and I think they both are.

how did i make your point? your point is stupid also i have been on the plum beta since the beggining so i know what it can and cant do if ur gunna come on here and say "oh with this app i can write faster in .net that u can hand code in cfm" thats just dumb, if u need to cheat to make u feel better then go ahead but i doubt anyone on here will be fooled. u ever hear of "apples to apples?" u shouldnt need something like that anyways, and i doubt thats the future, way to generic, unless ur used to frontpage template style sites. like someone else said the actually coding doesnt take that long its designing an unique and original site that takes the time, which that tool wont do. personally, i enjoy the coding part the furture? have u seen a cssp site yet? or an RIA? that tool u suggest doesnt seem to give u much creative control at least plum will let u still be an individual and style it how u wish i asked a .net friend of mine about it an here was his resoance [quote] I've heard of it.

I'm just saying that if the table being inserted into contains a trigger that inserts into a table in any database on the server that contains another identity column, @@identity will return the value from that trigger-inserted table. If there aren't any triggers involved in the statement or they don't insert data into tables with identity columns, or if you don't use the @@identity variable, then there's no reason to have any problem with the db related to @@identity. That being the case, the only solution that makes sense (to me) is either to avoid @@identity without question, or to avoid triggers without question, because if you use both, you always have the potential of it becoming a problem when someone needs to insert a value with a trigger and the code is chock-full of references to @@identity which may be in CF or may be in stored procedures or may be in other places. Given that MS created an alternative to @@identity specifically because of this problem, I chose to use that alternative rather than give up the possibility of using triggers. >> question. Although by and large I avoid identity columns >> all-together >> these days. > every major db has them, these are by & large pretty > useful. Do you not consider Oracle a major db? Oracle has sequences which are not the same thing. The problem with identities using SQL Server is that they're only useful / helpful during the insert -- they're a hideous, horrible, awful nightmare if you ever have to try and migrate data from one server to another -- which I'm guessing is why SQL Server's DTS drops the identities by default when migrating data (which in my experience only causes more problems). We were dealing with that just not too long ago at my 9-5 job. Trying to find an elegant way to create copies of our prototype database when we set up a new project (which -- the prototype db should be our model db so that new db's are created with its structure automatically, but that's a whole other story). In any event, because we couldn't find a good solution to the problem with SQL Server identity columns, our current solution is a CF script that detaches the db from the sql server and then reattaching it with a new name. This means hollering through the office for everyone to disconnect from Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer each time we create a new client project. 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 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569&DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187205 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: Blackstone Beta
How about a program that lets you run CF apps directly as part of ASP.NET, including the ability run execute CFML directly within an ASP.NET page and bind CFML query variables to ASP.NET controls, for example: SELECT * FROM Employees <% DIM Employees as System.Data.DataTable = Variables( "employees" ) grid.DataSource = new System.Data.DataView( Employees ) grid.DataBind() %> The above is a snippet from a working example on BlueDragon.NET. I'll be happy to email the complete example to you, along with examples of: 1) including CFML pages within ASP.NET pages, and including ASP.NET pages within CFML pages, with full sharing of VARIABLES, REQUEST, SESSION, APPLICATION, and CLIENT scopes; 2) invoking CFCs from ASP.NET pages; 3) invoking CFML custom tags from ASP.NET pages.

This is true of just about *any* product in Beta, not just Plum. Betas are in a bit of flux by their very nature. I put that warning out there because there have been literally dozens of people wanting to use Plum immediately for production sites, and we'd like to go through a couple of Beta cycles first to get everyone's feedback. We built the new ProductivityEnhancement.com using the Beta of Plum to show people that we "eat our own dog food," but sure enough we'll be moving over to Plum V1.0 Final Release when the next iterations of both ProductivityEnhancement.com and ColdFusionTraining.com go live. We hope everyone out there tries Plum during the Beta cycles and lets us know what they think. We're encouraged by the 200+ people who already have in just the past week.

RE: Blackstone Beta
It's true that ASP.NET 1.1 doesn't have anything as simple/elegant as CFQUERY. This is being remedied in ASP.NET 2.0, which adds "DataSource controls". Here's an example: The ConnectionString attribute in this example is being read from the web.config file--you can also hardcode a connection string here if you want, or use variables. Here's a good article that shows you how to bind the DataSource control to a GridView control to create a master/detail display that includes sorting and the ability to insert, edit, and delete records, all without writing any code: http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/22141/0/page/1 There's definitely a lot of cool stuff happening in ASP.NET.

Perhaps it's a way of phishing for yet another email address to spam if the order form goes through and they get an emailed response? $10 says it's a bot doing this! Another $10 says it's got a list of possible form field names and what to put into specific fields. How many of us actually name our "comments" field "comments"? Most of us I bet! It would actually be an interesting test to purposely name all your form fields stuff like " and then see if the bot would still bother with it. Of course, you'd have to find a way to *invite* the bot to show up and keep a close look on your server logs to see if it did.

We all need to think ahead. The future of what we do will not be hand coding applications. It's the same as driving a car as opposed to the old horse and buggy.

Will, ".NET is ahead of CF" That's a pretty blanket statement to make.

Re: fck editor 2.0 RC
Thanks Joe. All the other comments I'd seen about it said it included the upload. I dont want that - I want to use CFFILE and CFX_Image to process images and prevent non-images. Does anyone else find these gadgets slow to load? I just went to the FCKEditor's site and found it took 48 seconds to finish loading the page with the basic editor in it. I tried FCKEditor about 18 months ago and gave up on it for the same reason. I ended up using SPAW-CF on one site and I'm disappointed with that too because (amongst other things) it takes to long to load. I find i have users trying to enter stuff before it's finished loading all teh toolbars and gettting annoyed because it makes a mess of their data unless they wait the whole 40-60 seconds for it to load. Is this just me? I'm on a 512KB ADSL line - not the fastest that exists, but faster than a lot of the users.

Re: Spammer fills out my order form - how to stop

Mike, FCKEditor includes an image picker, but pretty much leaves the "uploader" part up to you to code for yourself.

Re: Spammer fills out my order form - how to stop
Hey Rick, It's called a CAPTCHA.

Re: Spammer fills out my order form - how to stop
Try to buy tickets on ticketmaster.com - that's how you stop robots from filling out your forms. I'm not sure how to do it in coldfusion though. There have been about a billion threads on it... the technique even has a name I think. But your real users might find it annoying, so there is a trade-off. - Rick ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187189 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
Spammer fills out my order form - how to stop
This goes in the category of annoyance rather than anything else, but I have a spammer filling out one of my clients' order forms and submitting it - does anyon else have this problem? And any suggestions how I can stop it? THe order form will have such gems as "poker" in every field, with the comments field completed with a whole bunch of html with the visible part of the url stating something like http://www.best-deals-texas-hold-em.info/, but the link points to a non-existent site, ending up at http://www.outreach.psu.edu/g,/. It isnt costing us anything and there is no credit card processing on this form- its all processed manually, but these orders are going into my clients inbox and into the database as orders, and they have to be deleted again. It's damned annoying. Any else having this? I can't imagine what's the point. I'm sure not going to follow whatever link is there, and I know my 72year old yoga teacher client isnt. And anyway the links are pointing to non-existent domains. What is this idiot hoping to gain by submitting this form all the time? Anyone have any guesses? I can nstop the orders processing by just doing some validation that prevents the word "poker" or stripping out html from the comments field, but it's only annoyances for us - all the form does is mail the submitted info to my client and me so I dont really know if it's worth it just to save a few deletes.

Another 404 question
I'm on a shared host ie several domains for different clients under a single root directory. I can set up my own custom 404 page but only one for all my sites. All sites have their own folder so I'm trying to use cfswitch to give each directory(domain) it's own error page. Ie a single error cfm page with a cfswitch for each domain. I thought I could use CGI.HTTP_REFERER but that doesn't work.

The bulk of the time I spend building apps is with analysis and design, is with with coordination and integration with other apps, is with structuring a GUI that makes sense, is with establishing and robust code architecture - .NET may be very helpful but I find it hard to belieave that any tools is going to make that easier.
