Re: Multiple domains going to one webspace
Rick - can you expand on this? I can't get IIS to allow multiple sites on the same IP. We've been having to do a bunch of CF magic to get multiple sites to live on the same IP. CFlocating (as suggested by Thane) gets the beginning done, but what about subsequent requests to a virtual domain require detection and handling (like images, references to links, etc...) Our domain router does the job well, but it is a bit of overhead that I would like to avoid.

Wondering what others consider a realistic practice to ensure security to a reasonable level. What do others do? The site will have a SLL, but I'm thinking along the lines of encrypting the card number. However, I know how unsecure ColdFusions encryption is, so why bother? If people do somehow encrypt the card number, would you be willing to give examples? And I guess I'll need a way to unencrypt the numbers in an admin area. I've seen where a site will store half of the number, and the second half gets sent by email to the shop owners. Then the shop owners need to go in and match up the numbers.

Re: Best way to store credit cards in database?
Dave you are right. I am not saying I am cryptology master, I just think I could do better than the cfencrypt. That was my point - came out diluted and misread, but I was basically telling this guy to not even think of splitting the data into to tables and feel safe. Encryption methodologies I studied in college and then after would be my foundation for building my own... I was on my way to a life at the NSA/etc... Best bet is absolutely to not store your CC number.

I'm sure the author's of cfencrypt thought their code was cool... but I'm just as sure that serious hacker types (especially those who do it for the money) were laughing their [censored] off when they ran in that alg. I'd be willing to bet cash several of them owned :) the alg within half an hour. Counting snack breaks. For some reason, I thought it simply used 56-bit DES, but then I looked at the docs. Yeesh! Encrypts a string. Encrypt uses a symmetric key-based algorithm in which the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt a string. The security of the encrypted string depends on maintaining the secrecy of the key. Encrypt uses an XOR-based algorithm that uses a pseudo-random 32-bit key based on a seed passed by the user as a parameter to the function. The resultant data is UUencoded and may be as much as three times the original size. I'm filled with confidence now.

Re: SQL server
Access and SQL Server are two separate different products. Yes and no... Separate products, but one can interface with the other. I use access as an interface to our SQL server ALL the time... If you have it configured correctly it works quite nicely. It certainly loads a lot faster than enterprise manager. Create a new project (existing database), save it.. that will bring about the connection dialog box. In server name, enter the ip address of your SQL server. Enter all the login and password information, and then find the database, hit OK, and you're done. Works very similar to working with an actual Access database, however the design view is different - it is SQL Server-ish (different datatypes, etc.) -Bill brainbox - Original Message - From: Fregas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 2:30 PM Subject: Re: SQL server Laurent, I'm not sure if I fully understood your question.

Re: Grab formated text from file and put in database Doh!!
Phillip - each section would have different delimiters - you should break it down and think of each part of the text file as a separate component, and each separate component is delimited by a blank line. For instance the first section (pseudo code at best here obviously), start_title = Find (Title:) ; end_title = Find (next end of line marker, start with Find(Title:); Insert into Database Title = (mid (doc, start_title, end_title)) ; ..repeat for next 2 fields..

But, if a server responds with an HTTP 200 status code, this indicates that the server is vulnerable to running cmd.exe through the web server. So, my guess is that this is a vulnerability scan. Once a list of vulnerable servers is compiled, a real attack would take much less time than a Code Red-style attack, since you could build the list of vulnerable servers into the attack code!

Do I need to do joins in some different way with this driver? I have

am doing should work just fine. Is there something I need to setup on the

Re: Parsing CFML from a database field
You can roll your own parser. I wrote one that parses variables, and such, nothing fancy, but it is a LOT better than writing to disk and reading it back in. If you just need variables parsed, I'd be willing to license it to you. Whatever A/MM does with cold fusion, this should be super high on their list of things to do - make the parser able to parse variables, especially variables returned from queries. -Bill brainbox - Original Message - From: Francisco Montes; Spain on Line [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 11:49 AM Subject: Parsing CFML from a database field Hi, I know that this kind of problem has already been examined in this list before. However i would like to reach a final conclusion once and for all. :-) I have got several CF templates but they are not stored in files on my server but on fields in a database. I would like to retrieve this CFML content, parse it and eventually produce any output as a normal web page. Now, the only solution I have seen consists in creating a temporary file with that retrieved CFML and cfinclude it to get it parsed. In my case I suspect this operation will increase the response time considerably as IO operations to disk are involved so my question is very simple is this really the ONLY WAY of doing this?

Re: Is it possible to break out the code in a table from a file that is read in
I think the easiest way to do it is to modify the file slightly so that the td for that piece of that table is different, so you can find it, like do td , which is perfectly legal, but it is different from the other td's (or use a title=key attribute or something). cfset begin_pos = find(TD , variable_that_contains_the_table_code) + 5 cfset end_pos = find(/TD, variable_that_contains_the_table_code, begin_pos) -1 cfset string_chunk = mid(variable_that_contains_the_table_code, begin_pos, end_pos) Something like that should work.

Re: Newbie-CF trying to process Hex numbers :-)
Couple things I forgot to mention: 1) Yeah, books are boring, but Ben's book is outstanding and you can learn a lot from it. It is laid out very well, and covers things you really need to know (like this.) 2) You're including the header inside of cfoutput that is query driven - this will generate multiple head tag blocks... Probably a BAD idea, unless you know you're going to only have one record coming back from the query - still probably a bad idea. Looking again at the code, you'll probably not run into multiple records coming back as you specified a where statement in your SQL, but, it's a bad practice to get in. 3) Try to keep what's inside a cfoutput block to a minimum, everything inside a cfoutput block, as the server has to parse everything inside of that and it will slow your application down. -Bill www.brainbox.tv - Original Message - From: Gina K.

Re: Is it possible to nest CFQUERY inside CFLOOP?
You should be able to nest cfquery in a cfloop that is not query based...
Maybe the actual problem is that cfloop doesn't implicitly force a cfoutput,
so chances are your variables are not getting resolved. Include a
cfoutput inside the loop.
Here's a code snippet where I am nesting a query inside a loop:
cfloop index=loop_index from=1 to=#ArrayLen(jobs_time_spent)#
cfoutput
CFQUERY name=qry_job_rate datasource=#application.dsn#
SELECT dbo.Jobs.Jobs_Job_Name, dbo.Employee_Job_Rates.*
FROM {oj dbo.Jobs LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Employee_Job_Rates ON
dbo.Jobs.Jobs_ID = dbo.Employee_Job_Rates.Employee_job_rates_job_id }
where Employee_job_rates_employee_id = #attributes.user_id#
and dbo.Jobs.Jobs_Job_Name = '#jobs_names[loop_index]#'
/CFQUERY
.
/cfoutput
/cfloop
The only other thing I could think of is the list attribute for cfloop.
Maybe cold fusion internally handles lists as a query. Maybe just do a
from to loop and only do the query and related code when the index is in

Re: Is it possible to nest CFQUERY inside CFLOOP?
You're absolutely correct. I think someone answered this question earlier
with the correct response.
cfloop from=1 to=10 index=loop_index
#loop_index#
/cfloop
You'll get a bunch of #loop_index#'s.
However
cfloop from=1 to=10 index=loop_index
cfoutput#loop_index#/cfoutput
/cfloop
works as intended.
Like you said, the variables in his block were resolved because they were
inside of a cfquery tag block, but it is at least worth noting that cfloop
doesn't parse and resolve variables on its own. Thanks for pointing that
out.
And I think the conclusion was that the lst_region list attribute was
surrounded by pounds, so it wasn't resolving into an actual list?

The cfoutput inside a cfloop is unnecessary to resolve the variables
within
the cfquery block. I use cfquery inside cfloop all the time to do any
number of different things. There is something else going on with the
code
if it is not working.

Subject: Re: Is it possible to nest CFQUERY inside CFLOOP?
You should be able to nest cfquery in a cfloop that is not query
based...
Maybe the actual problem is that cfloop doesn't implicitly force a
cfoutput,
so chances are your variables are not getting resolved. Include a
cfoutput inside the loop.
Here's a code snippet where I am nesting a query inside a loop:
cfloop index=loop_index from=1 to=#ArrayLen(jobs_time_spent)#
cfoutput
CFQUERY name=qry_job_rate datasource=#application.dsn#
SELECT dbo.Jobs.Jobs_Job_Name, dbo.Employee_Job_Rates.*
FROM {oj dbo.Jobs LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Employee_Job_Rates ON
dbo.Jobs.Jobs_ID = dbo.Employee_Job_Rates.Employee_job_rates_job_id }
where Employee_job_rates_employee_id = #attributes.user_id#
and dbo.Jobs.Jobs_Job_Name = '#jobs_names[loop_index]#'
/CFQUERY
.
/cfoutput
/cfloop
The only other thing I could think of is the list attribute for cfloop.
Maybe cold fusion internally handles lists as a query. Maybe just do a
from to loop and only do the query and related code when the index is
in
the list. That's what I am doing in the previous block of code, except
with
arrays.

Re: Correctly using CFOUTPUT
I've always been curious about that. I saw Ben Forta speak once about that issue, and have seen that here is well. Is it just that the looping PCode is just a lot more cumbersome because Allaire grouped so many different kind of looping controls in one tag? I don't get it, loops are usually low overhead in other programming languages. Hmm.. Maybe query based loops is where the problem lies. They might have to do a lot of conversion between a clean loop and a query resolution that adds the overhead. -Bill www.brainbox.tv - Original Message - From: Bill Killillay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 4:35 PM Subject: RE: Correctly using CFOUTPUT Since when is CFLOOP faster then CFOUTPUT?

What is the correct way? Does it matter? CF_Snip Is there an unwritten rule; if there are more than 4 (or ?) vars in a page Listing 1 is a good way to do it else Listing 2 is recommended? I'm assuming when using CFOUTPUT QUERY=q1/CFOUTPUT Listing 1 would always be applicable. OK, there are 2 ways to look at this; 1) What's easier for you (and your team) to read and update 2) What's faster on then server when it's PCode In answer to this, Listing 1 is always easier to read, but is slower on the server Why? you ask (sounds of Why? from all over the world)... Here's how the CF Server looks at a template (if you don't have CFSetting EnableCFOutputOnly=Yes on); It sends everything straight to the browser that's not a CF tag outside of a CFOutput without even thinking, once it reaches a CFOutput it has to scan through the code to find if anything requires any conversion from function/variable/field contents into displayable values and then converts those... When you don't have any functions/variables/fields in the code, you're effectively making CF work for nothing Remeber that a file being larger in size (before PCode) means nothing to how fast it might run on the server - it's the actual work that the server is doing that's more important If you wanted the best performance from a CFOutput query= tag, then you should use CFLoop query= and only CFOutput the fields Hope this helps explain why and why not to use CFOutput on everything Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 Websites for the real world ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: SQL Server 2000
Be sure to double check your stored procedures. SQL Server 7 was tolerant of the create procedure name being different from the actual stored procedure name, but 2000 isn't. Or at least the import routine isn't. It will just fail, but if it does, then that's probably the problem. When we ported our largest database over, I ended up doing one bit at a time with the Enterprise Manager. Trying to do it all at once was an exercise it futility ... It would get 70% done, and then fail on a view or a stored proc. Do your data last, that way the time consuming stuff, which should be fine, won't cause you long delays to find these stupid little problems.

Re: SQL 2000 Database List.
For most purposes we use Access (with all the appropriate 2000 patches) to talk to our SQL 2000 datasources, and it's much faster than the enterprise manager, as you connect to a single datasource, no taking forever to load all the datasources.

Maybe more like a comand line that allows: use server.dbo.database I think this would save me about 15 minute a day.

Re: handling 404 errors with CF?
Yeah, actually I wrote a whole functionality-set of CF catching 404's. I wanted a way to handle virtual directories - like www.brainbox.tv/clients for instance - there's no folder there, but instead I wanted it to relocate to a point in our main fusebox app. One of our developers suggested an ingeniously simple way of doing it, so here's what I did.. In IIS, I pointed 404's to a CF template that checks to see if the administrator has set up a virtual directory for whatever URL the user is trying to access.. I wrote an interface to do a few different kinds of virtual paths, one for URL's, one for Fuseactions, one to force a 404. Also if the 404 was thrown, it handles it a little more elegantly than normal 404 errors. I'm constantly evolving this - it has a lot of power. It's a lot easier to give a client a URL like brainbox.tv/whatever than some long fuseaction... and I no longer have to make folders and index.cfm's to show some sample images for clients. That combined with our content management makes me almost never have to Remote Admin in to put some stuff up for clients, which is one less monkey on my back and good service for them.

Re: OT - Good list for HTML questions
Biggest thing (or at least one of them) that kills me with netscape is that you can't do a background image for just a cell in a table, or if you do a background image for the table, it gets started and stopped/tiled/whatever in every cell. Makes resolution independent pages a bit difficult, as this is my usual trick to make a repeater. Oh, and it totally wrecks style sheets.

Re: Feedback to Jeff Whatcott - Macromedia
I had a thought the other day, that I wanted to run by people - specifically A/MM people. Have you thought at all about putting out an edition of Cold Fusion that is like a lite version (very cheap/free) - that just doesn't have the database connectivity side to it? It would get people used to programming in CF contexts and methodologies, but would limit the software enough that as people's needs got more advanced, they would need the database stuff. Move people from client side scripting to server-side - changing the way developers who are just starting or are looking for cheap ways of doing things to migrate to the Cold Fusion world. Not only promoting CF server sales, but Studio sales as well. I think I recall some sort of lite version awhile back that had some differences (can't remember what), but I think this actually would get new users in, programming in at least pseudo-Cold Fusion, and wanting more. I know it was originally a database application development package, but now its way beyond that. Just a thought...from a very happy CF developer.

OT: Traveling between networks...
I posted this in response to someone else's email on another mailing list (completely unrelated). I thought, some of you might benefit from it... I bounce back and forth between the office network, and the home network a lot. I, unfortutantely, am still running WIn98 on my VAIO, so it is a bit of a pain to switch IP address, etc. (We aren't running a DHCP server). So I created two registry patches that I place on my desktop to ease the transition. One is called office.reg, and the other is home.reg. That way I just double click on where I am going before shutdown, and I'm set when I get there. In case any of you are in the same position, this may help you -- it's the contents of my "office.reg" file: - REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0002] "DriverDesc"="TCP/IP" "InfSection"="MSTCP.ndi" "IPAddress"="192.168.1.20" "IPMask"="255.255.255.0" "DeviceVxDs"="vtdi.386,vip.386,vtcp.386,vdhcp.386,vnbt.386" "InstallVnbt"="0" "InfPath"="NETTRANS.INF" "ProviderName"="Microsoft" "DriverDate"=" 4-23-1999" "DevLoader"="*ndis" "NodeType"="1" "DefaultGateway"="192.168.1.1" - So you just need to change the gateway IP address to reflect where you are, and changing locations is a little easier. -Bill brainbox/intraget ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Parsing??
To be really efficient in doing this, learn regular expressions and use
CF's regular expression functions. Otherwise you'll be writing a parser
that is bulky to handle many different cases, unless the page you are
formatting is always pretty much the same, but just some different data.
Not knowing REs as well as I should I usually do the stupid thing and write
a parser that is "dumber" -- looking for specific data, rather than data
that fits a rule. Do yourself favor, and don't follow my lead. ;)
Anyhow
A general parsing algorithm that can find a value that is a "word" --
without RE, could be something like this (NOTE this is a pseudo-code
algorithm, not at all syntactically correct for CF... its up to you to
interpret it to CF, that's the fun part anyhow...)
.
/* find the known string's position in the page, using space as the
delimiters */
List_location = FindInList("known_string_data", "page_body", " ")
/* Retrieve the string that lives at the location after the "known page
component */
String_You_were_looking_for = ("page_body", List_location+1, " ")
.
That would be useful in a page like:
"Your message was sent on Thursday"
and you were trying to figure out when the message was sent.
If you decide to go this route, pay special attention to the argument order
in which Cold Fusion's functions are expecting to receive them.
Can't remember which one always gets me, but one of the functions or set of
functions (arrays/List/RE) is a little different the rest...
Maybe it's this:
Find(substring, string [, start ])
ListContains(list, substring [, delimiters ])
Yeah, that's probably it - Find wants the substring first, and listcontains
wants the substring second... From their naming it kinda makes sense, but
it's an easy thing to forget when you're whipping out codeMaybe someone
has a custom tag function, FindInList -- Allaire really should add this,
since it would increase consistency in this little language we all use
love/hate/_. ;)

Subject: Re: Parsing??
I have successfully used the cfhttp tag to pull a webpage and then
display
it with CFHTTP.FileContent. But how do I just display specific parts?
Rich
Craig already showed you one method.
Basic info is that cfhttp.filecontent is one_big_string.
You use the various cf string functions to extract
what you want from one_big_string.
Regular expressions help a lot (see function list
in docs).
When you grab a web page's content with cfhttp
all the content is stored in the variable cfhttp.filecontent.
If you need to extract more than one item from
one_big_string, you might want to copy one_big_string
to additional variables - one variable for each extraction.
That keeps you from having to refresh cfhttp.filecontent.
Thus,
cfset tmp1=cfhttp.filecontent
. do extractions
. ending with content_1 you want to use
cfset tmp2=cfhttp.filecontent
do extractions
. ending with cntent_2 you want to use
repeat
The simplest extraction method is using the
mid() function. If the web page is static,
never changes and you count the char positions
to set the attritbutes of mid(), then you need to
do nothing more.
A little more complex is using Find() to set
the beginning and end values of mid(). If the
web page is dynamic, but the info you want
always begins with a specific char sequence
and ends with a specific char sequence, then
you can use Find() or FindNoCase() to determine
where to begin and end your mid() extraction.
In some cases you can use the suite of
List functions to do your extractions.
In particular when the cfhttp.filecontent is
a collection of well formed sentences you
can use chr(32),chr(10),chr(13) as a list
delimiters and go from there. I would classify
this as a technique for a special case.
Better methods involve using regular expression
via the REFind(),REFindNoCase(),REReplace(),
and REReplaceNoCase() functions along with
several other string manipulation functions
and techniques.
Beyond string manipulation wddx and xml
can be your solution.
Beyond common packet formation and
trasmission formats (like xml, wddx)
there is AI based pattern recognition
and cognitive artificial ideation, but
for all practical purposes this amounts
to nothing more than employing an
esp() function :) .

Hey Guys/Gurls:
I am trying to do some server side validation for a phone number, but I am

textboxes the first one for area code (ie must be 3 numbers) and then the
two parts of the phone number (ie must be 3 numbers and then must be 4
numbers). I check to make sure the length of each textbox is correct and
then I try to check if they are numeric, however it will throw an error.
My code looks something like this:
cfif not IsNumeric("attributes.custPhone1") or not
IsNumeric("attributes.custPhone2") or not
IsNumeric("attributes.custPhone3")
cfset attributes.error = attributes.error "Please enter a valid

/cfif
The strange part is that when I take out the not IsNumeric() statements
for the first two form variables it works fine. Ideas???

Just a thought (or two..) -Bill /intraget - Original Message - From: Bill Killillay [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2000 4:26 PM Subject: RE: Structures: Where is data kept You know they don't and I know they don't, but earlier in this thread the gentleman said they where making it across "reboots". The only thing that would explain that is if the data was being held in a cookie. Now I guess the question is which machine is he talking about the reboot on. If it's the Client machine, then it makes perfect sense as the cookies are like David Watts pointed out the CFID and CFTOKEN which act as pointers to the session stored in the memory on the server. However if he was talking about the server being rebooted then there is something else that is not being brought into this thread. That is all I was meaning. Bill -Original Message- They don't. Then how would the persist across the reboots? -Original Message- Session variables are stored in client side cookies and/or server memory. They DO NOT get stored in the registry. The variables that get stored in the registry are Client variables. There is a BIG difference in the two. For example you cant story a structure in a Client variable with out using WDDX on it, etc. Hope this helps a little. Session variables are NOT stored in client-side cookies. They're always stored in memory. What is stored in cookies are the two tokens CF uses to associate a user's browser with those variables stored in memory. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Update Query/Output question from a newbie...
Without going to in depth into what you are trying to do(I get lost after about 5 sentences - mind goes elsewhere ;)) - you may try to use dot notation for your queries, and see if that helps. So in other words, try: cfoutput #query1.var_name# #query2.other_var_name# /cfoutput Dot notation is a very useful thing to learn, even if it doesn't help you in this case, it is extremely handy. -Bill /intraget - Original Message - From: Michael Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2000 11:37 PM Subject: Update Query/Output question from a newbie... Hi all and thanks for taking time to look this over. I will try my best to keep it as brief as possible, although I need to give you some background on my problem. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I have a client I did a site for about 4 years ago and it have never really been changed much. The site owner asked me to update the look and functionality of the site to make it easier to use. He also requested that I create a system that would allow him to update the Distributors section on his own, so I went with ColdFusion, because I want to learn more about it. I am working on the code for the Distributors first. The original page is http://www.mfay.com/Locations.htm. Don't laugh, it's really Old School... I stared with my Database in MS Access, dbcms.mdb. I have 2 tables, tbldistrib and tblstates. tbldistrib has the following columns: distrib_id (auto number), distrib_name, distrib_city, distrib_state and distrib_phone tblstates has the following columns: state_id (auto number), state_name and state_abb (incase he wants to use abbreviation later) Next I started on the Add New Distributor area of his CMS. I created the insert form using Text type inputs for name, city and phone. I used a select box for the sate and got the select options from tblstates/state_names in the Database. the code I used for the select box: Query: CFQUERY NAME="GetState" DATASOURCE="dbcms" SELECT state_name FROM tblstates /CFQUERY Output: SELECT NAME="distrib_state" CFOUTPUT QUERY="GetState" OPTION #GetState.state_name# /OPTION /CFOUTPUT /SELECT All went according to plan and it works fine. I then created the display page and messed around with the ordering and formatting until I have it real close to the original style of listing the distributors. You can find it at: http://xiondev2.dynip.com/cms/list_distrib.cfm Then I started on the Update Distributor section... I can make this work by using the following Query: CFQUERY DATASOURCE="dbcms" NAME="Distributor" SELECT distrib_name, distrib_city, distrib_state, distrib_phone FROM tbldistrib WHERE distrib_id = #distrib_id# /CFQUERY Output: CFOUTPUT QUERY="Distributor" FORM ACTION="distrib_update.cfm" METHOD="post" INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME=distrib_id" Value="#distrib_id#" p Distributor Name: INPUT TYPE="text" NAME=distrib_name" SIZE="35" MAXLENGTH="50" Value="#Trim(distrib_name)#" ..and so forth for each form field. What I would like to do is have the "State Name" portion of the form return as a select box as in the insert form, displaying the current distrib_state as the default option while also populating the rest of the select box (options) with the data (state names) from the tblsates/state_names in the database. This way my client can change the Distributor State if he needs to in the same manner as when he adds a new distributor. I tried running 2 Queries and 2 outputs calling a distrib_id in the url (...cfm?distrib_id=30) Query: CFQUERY DATASOURCE="dbcms" NAME="GetState" SELECT state_name FROM tblstates /CFQUERY Output: SELECT NAME="distrib_state" CFOUTPUT QUERY="GetState" OPTION #GetState.state_name# /OPTION OPTION #Trim(distrib_state)# OPTION /CFOUTPUT /SELECT and received errors: Invalid tag nesting configuration A query driven CFOUTPUT tag is nested inside a CFOUTPUT tag that also has a QUERY= attribute. This is not allowed. Nesting these tags implies that you want to use grouped processing. However, only the top-level tag can specify the query that drives the processing. I moved things around several times and got several different results and errors, lol but nothing like what I was thinking about. Any ideas on how I can accomplish what I am looking for? Should I go back to the insert form and have him manually enter the state information and forget about the select box and the tblstates idea? The actual goal was to learn _how_ to do this rather than it being a "must have" in the system, but I am out of ideas. Any help is much appreciated and I am sorry for being long on words, but I wanted to make sure my question was clear enough to elicit clear answers that I can understand. I have placed all the CF code in .txt files at: http://xiondev2.dynip.com/cms/cftext/insertform.txt
Re: CFMAIL question.
Here's more details - I use netmoves to send faxed orders from on our sites. I can send them HTML formatted faxes as long as the body is completely empty, and the HTML is an attachment. If I choose HTML as the TYPE in CFMAIL, it is just put in the body. No good. If I use Outlook Express's Rich Text mode (HTML) to send an email to the fax server it works exactly how I would like it to. So the process goes: 1) customer builds order 2) We display the order and then they confirm 3) We dynamically generate emails to be sent back to customer, one for records, and one that goes to the fax server. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and write a file out to the server and then send it. Not nearly as elegant as I would like, but I guess it will do... Unless someone has a better idea!? If anyone wants to see the system in action, it is www.deliverU.com It is an operational site, so no test orders please. All orders are actually faxed through to the restaurants.

Re: Junk Code was Re: ASP or Coldfusion - There is no Question
A few suggestions: 1) If your code cannot be followed by a third party without completely dissecting it, it is junk code - (COMMENT!) 2) Go back a few steps and think about what you are writing. Good algorithms lead to good code. Poorly planned algorithms, schemas, and database design will lead to 'junk code'. 3) Watch the debug timings of your pages, if there are templates that are taking a couple hundred milliseconds, yet not accomplishing much, then start to investigate this. 4) Not locking shared access variables can lead to jc (getting tired of typing it out) 5) Lack of error handling can lead to jc 6) Over selective SQL can lead to jc (try to limit what you are SELECTing) 7) Doing the same thing over and over. Try to pick a coding methodology, or at least coding conventions and stick to them, they'll make your stuff infinitely better. You might want to read through some data structure and algorithm books. I had a decent one in school, and even though I HATED the class, it really did pay off. Makes you evaluate how you handle things.

Subject: Accessing javascript variables in Cold Fusion
Hi all
Does anybody know how to access a Javascript variable in Cold Fusion? To
give you an example, I have some JS running as part
of a cross-select box in Cold Fusion. I need to be able to access the
values
of the elements in the right hand box, and these are stored within a
Javascript variable. But I need to create a Cold Fusion list out of these
elements, so I need CF to be able to resolve this variable. I've always
wondered how to do this, and never found the code, so I'd love to find out
how it's done. Probably something simple that I'll kick myself for...
Thanks
Garry

Re: Ascii Date to CF Date
The CreateDate function might be your best bet. Perhaps something like this: cfset new_date_CF = createdate(listgetat(asciidate, 1, "/"), listgetat(asciidate, 2, "/"), listgetat(asciidate, 3, "/")) cfset new_date_ODBC = createODBCdate(new_date) This should give you a CF date, and a database compatible date from asciidate.

This should be treated no different then if it was passed via a form. Now I could parse the data out and put it in the right format, but is this the best practice for doing this.
