getting values from form field

2001-12-10 Thread Baskin, Dave

Hi, i'm working on an app now that using dynamically named text boxes. i
need to know the name of the text box (which happens to be an ID value) and
the value of that text box so i can loop through a query and set the ID to a
new value. I can loop through the form fields list to get the ID, but how do
i get the value once i know the ID. I tried looping with:

cfloop index="i" list="#form.fieldnames#"
cfoutput #i# = #Evaluate(i)# /cfoutput
/cfloop

but i just get the same value for the two. can anyone tell me how to do
this? thanks.

Evaluate Question

2001-12-10 Thread Baskin, Dave

Can anyone tell me why the answer to this question is Hello Goodbye?

What would the following CFML code output to a user?

cfset Temp = "Hello"
cfset x=SetVariable(Temp, "Goodbye")
cfoutput #Temp# #Evaluate(Temp)#

wouldn't it be Goodbye Goodbye since you're setting Temp to Goodbye before
you output? thanks for any guidance.

Copying Structures Exam Question - is this right?

2001-11-26 Thread Baskin, Dave

Hello, the following question was asked:

What would the following CFML code display to the user?
cfset Temp=StructNew()
cfset Temp["First"]=40
cfset Second=StructCopy(Temp)
cfset Second["First"]=80
cfoutput #Evaluate(Second["First"] + Temp["First"])# /cfoutput

my answer was 160, but according to the book, the answer is 120. I thought
(and it says in Forta's book) that a copy of a structure is just a pointer
to the original so that if you change the copy, you change the original. Am
i missing something here? Can someone explain? Thanks for any help.

just change your timeout value to whatever you want it to be and then do the
same for your message and you're all good.

Subject: SOT: Timed Pop-Up Question...


Wondering if anyone has seen some javascript that would do this.. Or
knows what it would take.

Since session vars are set to timeout at specific intervals, I'm
wondering how hard it would be (not being a Javascript guru) to set a
timer upon execution of a template, that would pop-up at a specified
number of minutes or seconds, so that we could warn the user that their
session is about to timeout.

Sure would keep our clients who like to sit at their screen and futz
around with adding info over a 1 hours period from getting made cuz the
changes they forgot they made 10 minutes ago are now going to be lost!

Any ideas anyone?

Lee

SOAP - was BOOKS for XML

2001-11-01 Thread Baskin, Dave

I've heard talk of SOAP around the office but haven't had time to look into
what it is. Can anyone give a quick overview of what it is and it's
benefits. Thanks.

Since XML is a very broad topic, you might be more interested in a specific
use of XML. There are plenty of books covering these more specific topics,
such as SOAP.
