RE: CFMail Grouping Question
Hi, this one is a corker, I might try to submit it to Rays cookbook if it's not there. (If someone hadn't told you by now) you can group with the CFMAIL tag itself. It's a beautiful thing. So you can group by recipient etc. It's best to think cfmail is cfoutput. The ability to output query data back into the cfmail tag is a bit abnormal. The example below *should* run. Cheers. cfset qryExample = querynew(email,data) cfset queryaddrow(qryExample) cfset querysetcell(qryExample,email,[EMAIL PROTECTED]) cfset querysetcell(qryExample,data,record 1) cfset queryaddrow(qryExample) cfset querysetcell(qryExample,email,[EMAIL PROTECTED]) cfset querysetcell(qryExample,data,record 2) cfset queryaddrow(qryExample) cfset querysetcell(qryExample,email,[EMAIL PROTECTED]) cfset querysetcell(qryExample,data,record 3) cfmail query=qryExample group=email to=#email# from=[EMAIL PROTECTED] subject=Your data type=html Your records...br / cfoutput #data#br / /cfoutput /cfmail mail sent -Original Message- From: Brian Polackoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 7 February 2006 8:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFMail Grouping Question Thanks for the ideas, the cfsavecontent worked perfectly.

Flash forms and clipping
I have created an advanced search interface for the application that I'm working on using CFFORM and Flash forms. It allows me to efficiently organize and present a number of search options to users while making optimal use of space. The problem that I'm running into is that CFSELECT and CF date input fields are being clipped when they hit the outer boundary of the Flash form. Screenshot here http://www.ruckelshaus.com/dropbox/clipped_flash_form.gif Of course, I could eliminate the clipping by increasing the height of the form, but I really don't want to do that since my goal is to keep the dimensions of the form to an absolute minimum so that the search interface doesn't take over the page. Is there any other way to reduce or eliminate this problem?

Cameron Use the same loop to declare cfparams for your form fields using the query results as the default Then in all of your form fields, use the form scope for the values When the user first hits the form, the query populates the form scope. When the user submits, THEIR information overrides the cfparams and stays in the form scope Works every time :-) (not to mention... it will get rid of all those cfif statements ;-) .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

RE: socket connections from CF to SMTP
Was wanting to confirm the existance of an email address at a particular server and my co-worker has mentioned doing this in the past with PHP. Apparetly what needs to happen is to create a socket connection from Coldfusion to the SMTP server. Then checking MX records. The way to do this, according to the SMTP specification, is to send a VRFY request. This came up on the list yesterday, if I recall correctly. However, many mail servers either disregard VRFY or send back a status code that doesn't indicate whether the email address exists. So, the only way you can really confirm the existence of an email address is to send a message to it, and receive a response. MX records have nothing to do with this, by the way. You use MX records to find the mail server in the first place.

pre-newbie questions
Hi, (Potentially easy/stupid questions ahead. Please don't shoot the newbie!) I'm a CF pre-newbie. We're trying to get enough information to decide if we're going to run CF and if so, what license we need. We're a very small shop with some odd idiosyncrasies. We have one server guy, who's really a desktop guy who get drafted into supporting servers too and one developer (me) who's only done web programming in ASP (though I've dabbled a little in Java for a class I took). We've made the decision to migrate away from ASP because we're concerned about future support and we want to have time to ramp up into the new language. The two that are really on the table are J2EE and CF. Now for the idiosyncratic part. Our parent organization is ICI. Within ICI there are several groups that operate pretty much independently (often with their own funding sources) although we all share server resources. (We have 1 production server, which is very under utilized, and 1 test server, that we just upgraded.) One of the groups has decided to go with J2EE for future development. Another is looking at CF, largely because of the (perceived?) long ramp up time for J2EE with the thought of possibly using it as a migration tool to go to J2EE in the future. We've been trying to find answers to our questions, but we've had limited success. This could have a lot to do with not knowing enough to know what questions to ask or how to ask them. So I'm looking for some general information, google phrases to search on, links, or anything else that can get us going on the right track. 1. How well will CF perform on IIS? How much better/worse is Apache/Tomcat? 2. Will CF cause performance or other problems for other applications (existing, projected, and/or possible applications in the next 5 yrs) on the same server? (J2EE and legacy ASP) 3. How much time will it take to learn/administer CF on the server? 4. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in CF 5. Macromedia's website says that you need the enterprise license to Create hybrid applications that combine ColdFusion pages with back-end logic written in Java by leveraging the award-winning Macromedia J2EE-compliant application server. Is that what we would be doing if we wanted to migrate the site to J2EE, use (user developed) Java classes in the CF site? What does this really mean? 6. Macromedia's site also says the enterprise license gives you Use ColdFusion with other enterprise-class systems and databases, and deploy ColdFusion applications as standard J2EE EAR/WAR files on leading J2EE application servers such as WebSphere or WebLogic. Applications can optionally be packaged with only compiled Java bytecode to help protect intellectual property. Does that mean that if we want to run J2EE on the same machine that we need the enterprise license? And if there are any J2EE people hanging out 7.

Re: MySQL Migration and Funky Characters
There is a custom tag at the Adobe web site in the Developer's Exchange called CF_StripASCII that will strip out and replace funky high-ASCII M$Word characters from a block of text. It has proven to be immensely helpful to me in the past when dropping text from a textfield into a DB. I don't have a link, but just do a search for it on the Adobe site, and it should pop right up. Ray Steve Bryant wrote: I think you are exactly correct that the client copied and pasted from Word (I begged them not to, but what can you do?). I have a request in to the new host now to have them change the character set. Thanks for your help, Steve boxes indicate that the browser is unable to render that character, question marks (??) indicate garbaged data. i would guess these chars were out of the windows codepage (windows-1252) which is a superset of latin-1 (iso-8859-1) maybe copy/pasted from word. i suppose you could either clean-up those chars or change the db's encoding to windows-1252 or utf-8. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231653 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: cftry and cfcatch
I was in a hurry when I typed the previous response and found a glitch in the logic. In the inner cfcatch blocks, I am throwing the errors. So, whenever there is a problem, the yourOwnError exception will be thrown. That means you will never see Send MSSQLSERVER Not Avail and Agent Not Avail in cfmail. To resolve that, at the top of my head, just remove the cfthrow tags in the cfcatch blocks. Handle it outside the cftry and cfcatch. I don't think you would even need to nest the cftry anymore. So, the revised version will be like this: !--- Set the variable for your second issue here. --- cfset notRunQuery = 0 cfset problemQueryNumber = 0 cftry cfstoredproc name=checksrv datasource=master returnCode=YES result=storedProc1Return SELECT @@SERVICENAME; /cfstoredproc cfcatch type = database cfset notRunQuery = notRunQuery + 1 cfset problemQueryNumber = 1 /cfcatch /cftry cftry cfstoredproc name=checkage datasource=master returnCode=YES result=storedProc2Return SELECT count (program_name) FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE program_name LIKE '%Agent%' /cfstoredproc cfcatch type = database cfset notRunQuery = notRunQuery + 1 cfset problemQueryNumber = 2 /cfcatch /cftry cfif notRunQuery is 2 !--- Send MSSQLSERVER Not Avail and Agent Not Avail in cfmail. --- cfelseif notRunQuery is 1 cfif problemQueryNumber = 1 !--- Send MSSQLSERVER Not Avail in cfmail. --- cfelseif problemQueryNumber = 2 !--- Send Agent Not Avail in cfmail. --- /cfif /cfif !--- Check the errors(return values) with from two stored procedures.

RE: pre-newbie questions
Now for the idiosyncratic part. Our parent organization is ICI. Out of curiosity, what's ICI? I've done some CF work with an organization called ICI, but I'm not sure if it's the same one. 1. How well will CF perform on IIS? CF will perform well enough on IIS. How much better/worse is Apache/Tomcat? This is kind of an apples-oranges question - the two aren't really comparable. CFMX, by default, includes a J2EE server called JRun. You can use CFMX/JRun with IIS or Apache. You could also install CFMX onto Tomcat, and use that with IIS or Apache. My luck with using Tomcat with IIS hasn't been very good, though. CFMX Standard includes just enough of JRun to run CF, and can't be installed on another J2EE app server. CFMX Enterprise includes a full version of JRun, and can also be installed on any standard J2EE app server. 2. Will CF cause performance or other problems for other applications (existing, projected, and/or possible applications in the next 5 yrs) on the same server? (J2EE and legacy ASP) Running multiple application servers will generally cause some degree of resource contention. That said, there's nothing special about CFMX, and you can run it on the same machine as other J2EE servers, ASP and ASP.NET applications, etc. 3. How much time will it take to learn/administer CF on the server? CF itself is pretty simple to administer. The underlying J2EE server functionality is quite a bit more complicated. If you plan on supporting high volume applications, you'll probably need to learn a decent amount about JVM tuning. Of course, this would also be true for plain ol' J2EE applications. 4. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in CF It takes significantly less time to learn CFML than any other web programming language I've ever seen. It's very friendly for inexperienced developers, and even non-programmers. That's its biggest selling point, in my opinion. CF applications are generally easier to build and easier to maintain. 5. Macromedia's website says that you need the enterprise license to Create hybrid applications that combine ColdFusion pages with back-end logic written in Java by leveraging the award-winning Macromedia J2EE-compliant application server. Is that what we would be doing if we wanted to migrate the site to J2EE, use (user developed) Java classes in the CF site? What does this really mean? J2EE applications typically consist of JSPs and servlets as well as simple Java classes. You need CFMX Enterprise to run JSPs and servlets. If you want to use other, J2EE-specific functionality you'd need CFMX Enterprise for that as well. 6. Macromedia's site also says the enterprise license gives you Use ColdFusion with other enterprise-class systems and databases, and deploy ColdFusion applications as standard J2EE EAR/WAR files on leading J2EE application servers such as WebSphere or WebLogic. Applications can optionally be packaged with only compiled Java bytecode to help protect intellectual property. Does that mean that if we want to run J2EE on the same machine that we need the enterprise license? No, not necessarily. However, you'd have to run your J2EE stuff in a separate server, and you wouldn't be able to build a single application that used both CFML and J2EE functionality. For example, with CFMX Enterprise, you could build a J2EE application that used servlets and beans, but used CFML pages instead of JSP. CFMX Enterprise buys you all sorts of other advantages, as well, such as the ability to deploy multiple instances. 8. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in J2EE? A lot longer than it would with CF.

RE: Coldfusion and Active Directory
Ian, sorry it took so long to reply. If you already figured this out, please ignore. ;-) You need to use the DN attribute of the CFLDAP tag to select a single AD object. You are not able to use the ATTRIBUTES attribute of the CFLDAP tag because you must use that attribute to set the new values. If you need to modify multiple objects, you will need to do an initial CFLDAP call to retrieve the DNs that need to be modified. Then, you would CFLOOP over that query and perform a CFLDAP for each loop. I don't know of any way to modify multiple objects using LDAP other than looping.

Re: pre-newbie questions
I'll answer some I feel qualified to answer. 1. How well will CF perform on IIS? How much better/worse is Apache/Tomcat? We currently only use IIS and performance is fine, although apache is considered a lighter weight and more easily configured web server by many. CF integrates in a very simple way to to the web server - simply registering that .cfm pages should be passed to the CF server. 2. Will CF cause performance or other problems for other applications (existing, projected, and/or possible applications in the next 5 yrs) on the same server? (J2EE and legacy ASP) Well if you run more processes on a server they all use resources and have an effect on each other, but I don't know of any specific problems. 3. How much time will it take to learn/administer CF on the server? Half a day to a day will have you up and running - it is really very simple to learn the basics and more indepth stuff can wait until you need it. 4. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in CF For ASP programmers the switch will be very easy and you should get a positive reaction because CF is a very nice language to work with. You can grasp the basics in a few days, but beware of then creating spaggetti code. I would advise that you also take the time to adopt one the frameworks popular with CF (e.g. mach-ii, fusebox, model-glue) and these will push you to structure the code nicely from day one. This investment will pay back 100 fold in saved maintenance costs.

My searches have not found much, mostly devleopers/coders disucsing the pros and cons of putting images/files in a database.

The database is MySQL 5. Any help on getting any of the three diffrent types of blobs, using Coldfusion would be appricated.

Is that what we would be doing if we wanted to migrate the site to J2EE, use (user developed) Java classes in the CF site? What does this really mean? Take a look at Blue Dragon Serer JX (http://newatlanta.com). It is a CFML engine, just like ColdFusion, except it comes with a Java servlet and many other features that only come with ColdFusion Enterprise. It will cost you the same price as ColdFusion Standard if you also purchase support, which is a good idea. If you would like to leverage both CFML and J2EE, you should also look into Blue Dragon J2EE Server. For a single CPU license, it will cost the same as ColdFusion Standard, but you will have to get Tomcat or Websphere seperately. The unfortunate thing is that the current edition of Blue Dragon only supports ColdFusion 6 tags and functions. They are planning to release an upgrade which will support many of the CF 7 tags and functions, and that comes as part of the support package (which is why I highly suggest getting the support package). Just thought I would give you some more options. My company is looking into these two solutions as well. Thus far, we have setup BlueDragon Server JX on our live server and have began testing it out. -Aaron On 2/8/06, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Now for the idiosyncratic part.

CFMX, by default, includes a J2EE server called JRun. You can use CFMX/JRun with IIS or Apache. You could also install CFMX onto Tomcat, and use that with IIS or Apache. My luck with using Tomcat with IIS hasn't been very good, though. CFMX Standard includes just enough of JRun to run CF, and can't be installed on another J2EE app server. CFMX Enterprise includes a full version of JRun, and can also be installed on any standard J2EE app server. 2. Will CF cause performance or other problems for other applications (existing, projected, and/or possible applications in the next 5 yrs) on the same server? (J2EE and legacy ASP) Running multiple application servers will generally cause some degree of resource contention. That said, there's nothing special about CFMX, and you can run it on the same machine as other J2EE servers, ASP and ASP.NET applications, etc. 3. How much time will it take to learn/administer CF on the server? CF itself is pretty simple to administer. The underlying J2EE server functionality is quite a bit more complicated. If you plan on supporting high volume applications, you'll probably need to learn a decent amount about JVM tuning. Of course, this would also be true for plain ol' J2EE applications. 4. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in CF It takes significantly less time to learn CFML than any other web programming language I've ever seen. It's very friendly for inexperienced developers, and even non-programmers. That's its biggest selling point, in my opinion. CF applications are generally easier to build and easier to maintain. 5. Macromedia's website says that you need the enterprise license to Create hybrid applications that combine ColdFusion pages with back-end logic written in Java by leveraging the award-winning Macromedia J2EE-compliant application server. Is that what we would be doing if we wanted to migrate the site to J2EE, use (user developed) Java classes in the CF site? What does this really mean? J2EE applications typically consist of JSPs and servlets as well as simple Java classes. You need CFMX Enterprise to run JSPs and servlets. If you want to use other, J2EE-specific functionality you'd need CFMX Enterprise for that as well. 6. Macromedia's site also says the enterprise license gives you Use ColdFusion with other enterprise-class systems and databases, and deploy ColdFusion applications as standard J2EE EAR/WAR files on leading J2EE application servers such as WebSphere or WebLogic. Applications can optionally be packaged with only compiled Java bytecode to help protect intellectual property. Does that mean that if we want to run J2EE on the same machine that we need the enterprise license? No, not necessarily. However, you'd have to run your J2EE stuff in a separate server, and you wouldn't be able to build a single application that used both CFML and J2EE functionality. For example, with CFMX Enterprise, you could build a J2EE application that used servlets and beans, but used CFML pages
RE: Purging Session Variables
Yea, I recently noticed that JRUN will create sessions even if you say you
don't' want session variables in application.cfm. It will create just the
basic session, but still kind of sucks, as you get one session for every hit
without a cookie (such as search engines or loadbalancer,etc).

I just ran this on my local machine, which nobody else can see and it's
convinced that there are 5 sessions. Odd-that. I dumped all of the data
out and there are 5 nearly identical sessions. Now I'm going to wait
until tomorrow AM when there's been no activity on the machine all night

As an intended feature? No. And that's something I know Adobe has
mentioned Scorpio (CF 8) will hopefully address. However, I think it
was Ray Camden who posted this code a long time ago that I've kept
around for getting the number of sessions on MX 6.1. I've not tried it
on MX 7 yet, so YMMV. It involves getting under the hood of
ColdFusion's runtime:
function getSessions(appName) {
var tracker = createObject(java,
coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker);
return tracker.getSessionCollection(appName);
}
variables.numSessions = 0;
variables.sessions = getSessions(application.applicationName);
variables.numSessions = structCount(variables.sessions);
cfoutputTotal Number of Sessions: #variables.numSessions#/cfoutput
Hope this helps?

Dave.

The easiest way to simulate this is from a command line SQL client (Enterprise Manager will also work). In the first instance run: begin; select pk from table where pk = X for update; Then in the second instance run: begin; select pk from table where pk = X for update; You will see that the second instance will do nothing until you rollback or commit the first one.

Re: Gmail thinks cf-talk is spam (since January 11th)?
For those who are wondering where their list-email is going: It seems SpamAssassin 3.1 is tagging some mail from HoF as spam because of the way headers are handled. The x-mailer, mimeole and outlook headers are stripped from messages.

Hal Helms: After I finish up Simon, you could be next, pal... Michael Smith: You and Simon are squaring off on the subject of frameworks, right? Hal Helms: Right. Simon and I have had several lively debates on the topic and this time, we're taking our show on the road. Michael Smith: And you're predicting victory? Hal Helms: Betting against me would be like betting against the NFL's Indianapolis Colts. Michael Smith: But...they lost. Hal Helms: What? Michael Smith: They lost. They're not in the playoffs any longer. Hal Helms: OK, New England Patriots. Michael Smith: Also lost. Hal Helms: Well, it's not about victory, then; it's about framing the terms for thinking about whether you should use a framework or not. Michael Smith: I'm guessing you're coming down on the side of yes. Hal Helms: I am. And my friend, Simon, is arguing that the indiscriminate use of frameworks is dunderheaded. Michael Smith: That's what he said? Dunderheaded? Hal Helms: No, but I always wanted to use that term in an interview. You know, spoken with a British accent. In fact, I might do the entire debate in my U.K. persona. You know, give the event some class. Michael Smith: I see you've lapsed into that while we've been speaking. Hal Helms: I'm in training, mate. Say, Michael, you're a Brit: what do you think? Could I pass for a native? Michael Smith: It sounds a bit more like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Hal Helms: Well, back to the Death Match. I think it's going to be great to have a sessions that airs the benefits and drawbacks of frameworks. And Simon and I are both passionate defenders of our positions. Michael Smith: So it should be informative and fun. Hal Helms: I think it will be just that. Michael Smith: Well, thanks, Hal. Hal Helms: No worries, mate. I'll throw another shrimp on the barbie... Michael Smith: Good grief... More interviews will be made available at http://www.cfunited.com/interviews.cfm CFUNITED-06 is
RE: Log analyzer software.
Personally, I have a little script I use to create my own IIS logs where I replace the appropriate URL variables with an associated page name. It means you have one set of logs which shows how many people have been looking at different images and with a lot of hits to index.cfm but another which is great for viewing page views, paths through the site, etc. I find that more reliable and less cumbersome than trying to persuade any of the stats packages to display just what I want based upon a number of different URL variables.

global error handling
I have 5 www servers over a replicated network, each with the exact same CFMX config. All are running 6.11 with the same hotfixes (same version #, same OS, same JVM, same IIS). The error handler on 2-5 just stopped working. The error handler on 1 works as expected. There is no error in the error handler, 1-5 all have the same file, located in the same place, with the same app.cfm. I verified this by replacing the error file with one that said error! and nothing else, it still does not trigger. The logs on 2-5 all have this with each error, i imagine this is the error handling failing (global error handler set to /error.cfm): Error,jrpp-4,02/08/06,17:41:22,,The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\CFusionMX\runtime\bin\ E:\Webdocs\error.cfm java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.canonicalize0(Native Method) at java.io.Win32FileSystem.canonicalize(Win32FileSystem.java:333) at java.io.File.getCanonicalPath(File.java:513) at coldfusion.jsp.JRunTagLibraryInfo.lookupTLI(JRunTagLibraryInfo.java :110) at coldfusion.jsp.JRunTagLibraryInfo.lookupTLI(JRunTagLibraryInfo.java :104) snip This makes no sense at all.

Is there a way to maintain formated text
Hi, I am trying to build a program that allows end users to submit short news articles to a database field. The program would serve the text in the field to a cfm page. Sometimes the original text contains formated text such as words in bold, with bullet points, and even with url behind it. When the text goes to the database, they are stripped away. Is there a way to maintain those format and the cfm page can display them well? Any help is appreciated.

RE: socket connections from CF to SMTP
...there is a DNS record called an MBX record but it's seldom used these days - something left over from the dark ages of DNS I believe it was actually MB, defined in RFC 1035 as an experimental type. There were also MD, MF, MG and MR (some obsolete, some experimental) which performed various e-mail related functions. I have not seen any of them in actual production use in my eight years of Internetting (is that even a word?). As an aside, I have run DtDNS.com (a DNS hosting service) for the last seven years, so I keep hard copies of the DNS RFC's handy for reference. what about sending a message to the address and then checking the undelivered folder for any bounces? The ColdFusion undeliverable folder should only have messages that were either the result of your e-mail spooler being unavailable, or your spooler out-right rejecting the message (invalid user on a local domain, for instance). If your spooler is configured properly to accept mail for relay from ColdFusion, any bounce generated would go to the FROM address in your CFMAIL tag (or the optional FAILTO attribute on CFMX). You could check that mailbox with POP and parse out the results. I use the Java extension from ActivSoftware myself, which is much easier. (I posted a link earlier). -Justin Scott ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231699 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

A way to set a dynamic anchor in a div?
Hi, all... I'm working on an web-based office application, so I'm trying to put as much functionality on a single screen as possible. I've using scrolling div's for areas to add, update, and delete content. Everythings going well except for trying to place an anchor inside a div for client contact entries. I think I'm coding everything correctly...I've done this before, but the anchor was on a full page of html, not in a particular div. Is there some way I can target the anchor to affect the content in a particular div? I think that's why the anchor's not working, because it's not an anchor for the whole HTML page, just the content in that particular div. It's a dynamic CF-generated anchor, but I've done that before, too. The div just seems to ignore the anchor... Ideas?

RE: Homesite 5.5 and external browsers (one more thing)
OK, now I switched the mapping to localhost and it works in IE but opera NS and FF all want username and password still.

Re: Is there a way to maintain formated text
Sometimes the original text contains formated text such as words in bold, with bullet points, and even with url behind it. When the text goes to the database, they are stripped away. How come?

Re: passing multiple values from the same form field
I was able to figure out how to do the multi insert. Here are the steps I took.
To make sure the form values where passed I setup an actionpage.cfm instead of
going directly to a cfc. On the top of the page I added cfdump var=#form#
label=Form variables /.
Once I knew extactly what formfields where passed I created a variable to hold
the number of mulitple fields for insert.
cfset formCount = ListLen('#FORM.FieldNames#', ,)
!--- minus hidden and other fields that are not part of the multi insert --
cfset formCount = formCount - 4
!--- Query to insert into the fist table. These values are not part of the
multi insert. ---
cftransaction
cfquery datasource=#request.dsn#
INSERT INTO cart (cart_custcart_ID, productID, qty,
cart_dateadded)
VALUES ('#Client.CartID#',#FORM.productid# ,#FORM.qty#
,#CreateODBCDateTime(Now())#)
/cfquery
!--- Get the last id for use in the multi insert ---
cfquery name=lastRec datasource=#request.dsn#
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() as lastid
/cfquery
!--- I set the lastID cause without it I get an error message ---
cfset lastID = lastRec.lastid
!--- Here is where the multi insert is done. The formCount is used to setup
loop for the Options ---
cfloop from=1 to=#formCount# index=i
cfquery datasource=#request.dsn#
INSERT cart_options (optionID, cartLineID)
VALUES ('#Evaluate(form.option#i#)#', #LastID#)
/cfquery
/cfloop
/cftransaction
I still have a problem I hope someone can answer. On the form if their are 3
options to select from (radio buttons) and I select option 1 and 3, I get an
error message because the options are not concurrent . This is because the
loop goes thru 2 options; option1 and option2 instead of option1 and option3
and gives an error stating their is no value for option2. Any ideas?

Re: Is there a way to maintain formated text
I'd think that it was maybe bold in a Word doc and then copy n pasted into a text area at which point it lost its formating.

Re: passing multiple values from the same form field
Deanna, I didn't see your post till now. I did it with evaluate instead. I still have a problem; what if I have three options !-- radio button groups -- form input type=radio name=option1 value=#whatever# input type=radio name=option1 value=#whatever# input type=radio name=option2 value=#whatever# input type=radio name=option2 value=#whatever# input type=radio name=option3 value=#whatever# input type=radio name=option3 value=#whatever# /form If I select option1 and option3 I get an error message that option2 is missing. I have to make my selection concurrent because of the loop. Any ideas? He gave you an example: #form[fieldname counter]# Basically, the form scope is an array, so you in cases when you need to use a variable as a form name, you can use the bracket notation above to get the data without using evaluate. So, for example, if you had this form: form input type=text name=option1 value=1 input type=text name=option2 value=2 /form On your action page, you could get the values by looping: cfoutput cfloop from=1 to=2 index=i form.option#i# = #form[option i]#br /cfloop /cfoutput Obviously, you'd make this more dynamic by passing a hidden var with the number of options, and then looping to that number, instead of hard-coding it. But, you get the idea.

Re: passing multiple values from the same form field
Something like: cfif StructKeyExists(FORM, option#i#) do whatever it is I need to do/cfif Where i is the index value of a loop, your 1, 2, 3 or you could just do cfqueryparams for the fields and then just check to see if they have a value other than what you defaulted with the param. Something like: cfparam name=Form.option1 default= / cfparam name=Form.option2 default= / cfparam name=Form.option3 default= / cfloop from=1 to=3 index=i cfif Form[option#i#] NEQ do whatever it is I need to do because it has a value/cfif /cfloop Hope that makes sense, it is late here and my brain is not functioning all that great right now :) On 2/8/06, j s [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Deanna, I didn't see your post till now.
