Re: CFScript Book
As of CF9, the vast majority of CF can be written in script, if you desire. Almost every tag has a cfscript equivalent (I believe there were a few that didn't make the cut, but I can't recall which ones off-hand). Of course, some things are a bit more tedious doing them in script (such as outputting content and running queries).

Re: Adding a border to text using CFImage
Terry, The examples on the website say if you are using it with CFWheels you just [call the] getArt() function since it is made available to your controllers and views.. Otherwise, you need to create an instance of the component first and call init(). Then use yourInstance.getArt() instead of just getArt(). Try the code in the Basic Example section. That should work for you. http://www.codecurry.com/2009/12/introducing-wordart-for-coldfusion.html -Leigh- ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349988 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: emailing a cfchart?
Actually in a way you can. Generate the charts as files, then use cfmailparam to include the files. Create a variable that holds the fileinformation: cfset LocationAndFileName = getTempFile(getTempDirectory()) .png / Generate your chart as a variable and then save it: cfchart format=png name=chartName ... .../cfchart cfset fileWrite(#LocationAndFileName#, chartName) / The cfmailparam code looks like this: cfmailparam contentID=makeAnID file=#LocationAndFileName# disposition=inline / Then in your html code for the email have: img src=cid:makeAnID / It will include it inline.

Re: CFScript Book
Agreed and someone could always write themselves some custom functions as wrappers to CF tags for prior versions CF or perhaps even what is missing in the current. To a point at least. I have been a CFScript Nazi for well over a decade now but fully recognize a place for it and a place for when to use the tags. I very rarely use it for outputting things and can't say I really have had a need for much of the added tags-to-functions introduced in CF9. We though have many pre-CF9 servers so also does not make too much sense for me to write anything specific to CF9.

RE: Editing the http info before it goes to the browser. [SOLVED]!
Dave and everyone else, I actually solved this one! I couldn't view the headers, but with a little bump from Ben Nadel's blog http://www.bennadel.com/blog/758-ColdFusion-GetPageContext-Massive-Exploration.htm I was able to come up with this: (I'm using Pragma as an example but can be used for any header created with CFHeader): cfset getPageContext().getResponse().setHeader(pragma, ) / The first part of the setHeader is a string that has the header name, the second is a string with a value. By using blank () it actually removed the header from being passed. I tested this with Firefox firedebug. The header was actually gone. I was also able to do things like: cfset getPageContext().getResponse().setHeader(Last-Modified,Steve!) / which sent Steve! Instead of the file date. However, this didn't work exactly: cfset getPageContext().getResponse().setHeader(X-Powered-By, Steve) / it didn't work exactly as expected because the X-Powered-By was actually set by IIS. So instead of Steve I got X-Powered-By: Steve, ColdFusion8. Which when you look at how headers are supposed to work it did what it is supposed to. Just have to remember that you can only change things that existed before and during the request, the webserver can still add stuff!

Re: (ot) SEO
The search engine must hit the page directly. So, if you want to index your listing of toyota trucks, the /trucks/toyota had better show your listing, not a button to get to the listing. A better option might be to go by make, then by bodystyle (/toyota/trucks or /toyota/suv). This allows you to list by make (/toyota), by bodystyle (/toyota/sedan), by model (/toyota/camry), by trimand so on and so forth. Consistency helps.

JQuery .ajax() call posts back to invoking page only on Production
Hello, thank you for any assistance with this puzzler. On my local Windows Vista development machine, I'm using CF 9. Here I have a JavaScript call JQuery's $.ajax() method to write some text to a database using a web service in a CFC. On my machine, it works as expected: writes the values, screen stays put. On production, a leased webserver with Hostek.com, something different happens. The .ajax() call accesses the CFC which writes to the database, then after about five seconds, refreshes the screen with the data passed into the CFC as querystring parameters. This page refresh is mucking up the purpose of using ajax. I haven't a clue why this behavior is server-specific nor if the area of research is Cold Fusion or the CF Admin settings or something else related to JQuery. I have debugging IPs turned off on both environments. Why does an ajax post turn into a get and refresh the URL after it's successful on production and not development?

Re: JQuery .ajax() call posts back to invoking page only on Production
For these sorts of this, I usually will turn on the Developer Tools panel in Chrome and watch the back/forth communication int he browser via the network tab. you can then click on any request's headers, response, etc. -Cameron On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 5:02 PM, Brent Shaub brent_sh...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello, thank you for any assistance with this puzzler. On my local Windows Vista development machine, I'm using CF 9. Here I have a JavaScript call JQuery's $.ajax() method to write some text to a database using a web service in a CFC. On my machine, it works as expected: writes the values, screen stays put. On production, a leased webserver with Hostek.com, something different happens. The .ajax() call accesses the CFC which writes to the database, then after about five seconds, refreshes the screen with the data passed into the CFC as querystring parameters. This page refresh is mucking up the purpose of using ajax.

Re: CFScript Book
My main issue with cfscript is that it's easy to confuse at first glance between that and javascript (for cases when you have JS mixed in with CF code, as the legacy app I work on at work has). So, it's not really cfscript's fault as much as a personal bugaboo.

Re: CFScript Book
cfscript to many defeats the who point of why they chose cf in the first place, because it was a html like easy to learn tag based language. When you go down the route of doing all your code in script, using OOP style coding, then surely you would just be better off writing directly in JAVA ?

Re: CFScript Book
Well, nobody's better off writing in Java, but C# would be an alternative.

Re: CFScript Book
The people I was referring to I am certain do not know how to write anything or much of anything in JavaScript. So it is not a matter of CFScript confusing them into thinking it is JavaScript.

Re: emailing a cfchart?
CF10's charting support has both the old way and the new hot way, so you can still do server side charting. On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 11:08 AM, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: I haven't had a chance to check this, but does CF10 no longer provide the ability to generate static images for charts? It looks like everything is canvas or Flash-based, which is going to be problematic for emailing or using in a PDF--both of which I use. I don't know, honestly, but I suspect you could capture the output generated by either of those, using CFHTTP for example.
