Re: 2 Selected Boxes not posting with rest of form?

2005-10-21 Thread Jason Lemahieu
Just a guess, but something to check:

The second one has no options in it.

The first one may or may not have options in it, depending on the query.

I wouldn't be suprised if a select box with no options wouldn't post.

User's Browser: gibberish

2005-08-16 Thread Jason Lemahieu
I have gotten a couple error reports today which identified the user's browser 
as very odd strings.  Any ideas on either what this means or what's going wrong?

User's Browser:   ƒƒ
User's Browser: h j‹X¾‹
User's Browser: e‹ ‰
User's Browser: t


Some of these are pasting here even differently than they look in my Outlook 
(specifically, squares are being removed)

It's the same error template we've used as long as I've been here, and it 
always has identifed the browser correctly before.

Re: variables... to prefix or not to prefix

2004-12-13 Thread Jason Lemahieu
I generally do this when I'm working with arrays of structures and crap, like:

arrMonth[31] = structDay;


Way back in college, (6 months ago), we used to do it for everything - but it 
mattered a lot more when we were using very strictly typed languages.

Re: List Contains

2004-11-16 Thread Jason Lemahieu

articleID -  articleRelations
1  3,14,33
2  3,4,12
3  11,1,2
4  7,8,5
5  7,8

The problem with this, is 1) that you're still storing a list, and 2) you will 
have either redundant or inconsistent information.  Meaning, article 1 says it 
is related to 3, and 3 says it is related to 1.  Depending on your business 
rules, this could be redundant.  Also, when you delete article 3, you'll need 
to go through every list and remove all 3's from all the lists.


OR... would there be a separate row for every relation.  So if my articleID was 
4, it would search all records below and pull out relationsIDs 1,2 and 5 and 
display all the articleRelations accept for the number 4's?


RelationID -  articleRelations
1  2,4
2  3,4
3  11,2
4  7,5
5  7,4 

This is more on the right track. Though rather than 2,4 being a 
comma-separated-pair, it should be two seperate fields.  Now when you delete 
article 3, you can easily do a query that deletes all the relations relating 
article 3 to another article.  This approach is also much more scalable.

Survey Creation Application

2004-10-25 Thread Jason Lemahieu
We're looking to make our own application that lets people create surveys - similar to 
Zoomerang (ww.zoomerang.com).  We've played around with possible DB schemas and it 
just seems to get more and more complicated.  I was wondering if any of you have tried 
implementing such an application, or if you would otherwise have any insight into the 
matter.

It would need to let people do stuff like:
 - Add, edit, delete, move questions
 - Allow lots of different types of questions
 (ex: multiple choice, open ended, rating)
 - Arrange the questions across pages
 - Distribute the survey via links in emails, and track which response came from which 
email address
 - Generate reports based on the data collected


We currently use Zoomerang - and think it works pretty well. We are looking for an 
alternative in-house solution so that we can put surveys into existing webpage 
templates.  Thanks.

Re: JavaScript Enabled Stats

2004-10-14 Thread Jason Lemahieu
This idea rules -thanks!I had never thought of this, but played with a bit and could find myself using it a decent amount.

You could use JS to load an image that's really a CFM page -- new
Image().src = "" . You would embed code to add the
record (set to notEnabled) in your page, and add code to the stats.cfm file
that would toggle it to enabled.

JavaScript Enabled Stats

2004-10-13 Thread Jason Lemahieu
I want to find out about how many of our users have _javascript_ enabled.I think it'll be like 99%, but would like to know if it is, in fact, something like 75%.

I can make a simple database that stores 2 values (Enabled, notEnabled) to update with each session, but I'm not sure how to exactly check.

The plan would be just a simple addition to a site's Application.cfm.I want to set a var on the page, JSEnabled = false;then use _javascript_ to set the var to true onLoad.(which will obviously only happen if they have JS enabled)

The problem then, is how do I get this information back, as the page is not just a form.They could click on any number of links which I don't want to change.Has anyone tried taking stats like this before?Otherwise, is it available in some other way?(For example, a cgi.client_javascript??)

Flash Versioning Middle Page

2004-09-21 Thread Jason Lemahieu
There is a subsection of an application which requires the newest Flash components.To check for the components I made a blank Flash movie and used its built in version tester which redirects to either the graphing section, or to a page that says: You need new components. Click here.

And it all works fine, except the back button.

If you are in the subsection and hit 'back', it will take you to the versioning page and send you back to the subsection again.
Same is true for the page that says Upgrade Flash components -if they click back, it will version them again, and send them immediately back to the page that says upgrade.

Do you know of any way to keep this from happening?Something like using some session variables, or is it possible to manually alter the browser history using _javascript_ or anything?

Re: A Quick Question - Javascript

2004-08-25 Thread Jason Lemahieu
Hello everyone,

Using _javascript_, I want to display numbers from 1 to 5 such that
numbers are ordered randomly on each page refresh and none of the
number is repeated.

e.g 

first refresh 1,3,4,2,5
second refesh 2,3,5,1,2
etc etc

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

How about something like this?

script language=_javascript_
function writeNumbers() {
	var usedList = ;
	var myList = ;
	while (usedList.length  5) {
		var tempInt = Math.round(Math.random()*4) + 1;
		if (usedList.indexOf(tempInt) == -1) {
			usedList = usedList + tempInt;
			myList = myList + tempInt + ,;
		}
	
	}
	document.write(myList);
}

/script

You can make some changes as to put your commas in, etc.

 - Jason

Re: Best Practice - Forms

2004-07-29 Thread Jason Lemahieu
You could also generate the ID for the record on the page where they enter data, and pass it to the page that processes it.This way, you can first see if the record exists (yes = update, no = create).You may end up with IDs that get selected and not used, but such is life.

Re: Small query question..

2004-07-28 Thread Jason Lemahieu
cfquery name=charting datasource=#dsn#
 SELECT *
 FROM #tablename#
 WHERE #url.date#
 ORDER by date
 LIMIT 31
 /cfquery

I don't use MySQL so maybe this is not the case, but don't you need to say something like: WHERE myDateColumn = #url.date#, rather than just WHERE #url.date# ?

Or does MySQL have some built-in thing where that's implied?

Just a thought.
