RE: CFSETTING "HTML Strings" *URGENT*
Benjamin, just escape the quotes with an extra quote. HTH, david -Original Message- From: bfalloon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 7:05 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFSETTING "HTML Strings" *URGENT* Hello, Can someone help me with this problem? I want to create a string that contains HTML. Specifically a 'path' string to be outputted at the top of a page with variable content. The problem that I have is that I need to do something like this... Category Sub"> The problem is that because of the quotation marks within the string itself, it is terminating the CFSET command before it gets to the end of the string. I'm not sure if I should use the converted HTML ie. < becomes < and so on because I need to output 'functional' HTML on the page below this CFSET, not 'display' HTML. Can someone explain how this should be phrased. I may also need to append more string information onto the end of this string depending of other query results. Thanks in advance!

RE: validation
Becky, this is what i do. the user submits their info and i do a check in the database on the processing page for the info they have just submitted. if it exists, i CFINCLUDE the previous page but display error messages as needed and pre-populate the fields they have filled out. if they don't exist, then i process the next query which adds them to the DB and then displays a confirmation. all you need is an if/else block where you check the record count of the select based on username/email/whatever.

Hello everyone, i sent an email two days ago about not being able to get CF and SQL2000 to talk to each other. i followed the instructions everyone sent me including installing the latest MDAC and still, i couldn't get them to talk to each other. i did finally get them to talk by checking the "use trusted connection" checkbox, but someone at work told me that i hadn't fixed any problem, i'd just gone around it. of course, i really don't know what he means by that at all. As you might have guessed, i'm new to server admin. Also, i can't even get an access DB to be recognized.

Have you reinstalled the MDAC since installing CF 4.5? If not, pop the windows 2K CD in and run the upgrade and this will fix the MDAC that gets broken when you install CF 4.5. - Sean ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Random Quotes & SQL
Hello, i've been tasked with creating a random quote app for a web site. The trouble i'm having is figuring out how to store the data in my table and then be able to retrieve data once the client has deleted a quote. For example, i can use a PK to define each quote and then just pull a random number within the range of quotes available (eg. 45 quotes, so a random number between 1 and 45), but the client wants to be able to modify or delete quotes so once a deletion occurs, it's possible that the random number chosen might just not exist. What is the SOP for something like this? If the record doesn't exist, select a different random number (seems like a lot of overhead) or is there a way that i should be keying the data to make the possibility of pulling an id that doesn't exist.

SQL trouble
Hello all, i'm having trouble with a query and i was hoping someone could help me find the solution to my problem. I run a query to get the ids of the objects a customer has stored. in this case it's two ids. then i run another query that gets all the details of these items and displays it. i run the following query to get the details: SELECT p.Year , p.Series , p.stockNum // more and more columns... FROM tblPreOwned p, tblMake m, tblWarranty w, tblModel mo WHERE p.vehicleMakeID = m.makeID AND p.warrantyID = w.wID AND (preID=0 OR p.preID=#preID# OR p.preID = 00) what happens though is that i end up getting back over 1300 records for the details query. it returns the same two objects over and over again. i'm not sure why this is happening and unfortunately my SQL skills are not the best. If anyone can tell me how to better structure this query to return the proper results i would greatly appreciate it.

If there's a more appropriate place to ask this question, please let me know

With that said:
I'm doing Javascript validation and having trouble getting the following to

return (true);
}

}
The first "if" seems to work OK, but not the second. Any suggestions would
be most appreciated.
