Inserts and updates strategy
I have a form that needs to insert and then update values in two tables. I have the insert part, but I'm not sure how to handle the updates. During the insert, the user enters info about a URL link in the LINKS table. There is a drop down list which allows the user to select multiple counties. Selected values will be entered in successive records in a COUNTIES table, linked to the first table on the URL field. For the update, I call the form again and populate the fields with the values previously entered in both tables. The question is, if the user wants to make different selections in the drop down list, how to I make the needed changes to the COUNTIES table? In the first pass (insert), the values "1" "3" and "5" get entered. During the update, I want to remove "1" and "3", and add "2" and "4", so that I end up with only 2,4 and 5 in table. I'm thinking it might be best, during an update to COUNTIES, to delete all records related to this URL first, then insert the newly selected values. Does this seem like the right approach? Or would I be better off simply storing this list in a single field in the LINKS table and dropping the COUNTIES table altogether, since it only contains the FK and an ID field? Part of the consideration is that I want to show the ID values as preselected in the drop down list during the update. I should mention that the drop down contains a total of 82 values (populated using another query), and there might be, say, 3 values preselected.

Database problems
I have a strange problem with inserts in an Access table. I can't seem to wrap either a CFINSERT or an SQL insert within a CFTRANSACTION. Either method, without a CFTRANSACTION, will successfully insert a record in my table. But as soon as I try to use CFTRANSACTION, so I can get the ID of the record just inserted and CFLOCATION to the entry form, all I do is increment the database ID, but don't insert any data. Can anyone hazard a guess what's causing this? I've read everything I can get my hands on, and I can't seem to figure it out.

Insert produces blank record
Using an Access table, I have a template with an INSERT and a MAX(ID), plus a CFLOCATION routine within a CFTRANSACTION. I've tried it with both SQL INSERT and CFINSERT and, either way, the autonumber field is incremented, but no data is inserted in the record. If I use either insert method on its own, without a CFTRANSACTION, the record is inserted correctly. I wonder if someone could steer me to possible sources for this problem. With other databases, this method works fine using essentially the same code, so I'm wondering if there might be a setting in the database, itself, in the ODBC settings, or possibly in my APPLICATION.CFM (code below, if it helps). This has had me stymied for days. I would sure appreciate any direction you can give.

File name with query string in JS function
This is a variation on the recent thread where we discussed using link
references like page.cfm?foo=bar#spot.
In a framed environment, I have four JS functions that use rollovers to
populate another frame using syntax like:
function loadfn()
{
parent.empl_list.location = "alpha_fn.cfm";
I've put the functionality of all four templates I call like this into one
template. The new syntax should look like:
function loadfn()
{
parent.empl_list.location = "employee_list.cfm?sort=firstname";
The error description follows:
Error in expression:
url.sort = "thumbnail"
Invalid conditional expression. Perhaps you are using = instead of EQ
or IS
to compare values.
The error occurred while processing an element with a general
identifier of
(CFIF), occupying document position (2:1) to (2:29).
The correct template gets called, but when the first line,
which reads, "" is reached, the error occurs.
Any suggestions on how to code the javascript to pass the URL.SORT variable
properly? I've tried several variations, with no luck. I've tried escaping
both the question mark and equal sign, with the same results.
Thanks,
--John

RE: Second Request for help!
Neil, Too bad the beta testers didn't win out with this one. The inability to view multiple files is my only serious complaint with Studio. When the need to see two files simultaneously arises, I just fire up my old copy of Arachnophilia ( free download from http://www.arachnoid.com ), and I can view as many files at once as I want to, although more than four files starts to make each one more difficult to view, as the available window space for the application is divided among the open files.

Re: Newbie Cold Fusion Studio Question
Kim, You will not be able to view these files as CF-served pages, until you install the Cold Fusion Server that came with your copy of Studio. If you have a licensing problem, you can download a copy of Cold Fusion Express for free from the Allaire site and install it, instead. This might be a better approach if you want to set up your site on internal DNS, since people elsewhere in your organization could view and execute the files, also. The version packaged with Studio, although more powerful, can only be viewed by a single user.

RE: Has the Apocalypse cometh? (Was RE: CF vs. ASP)
Jeremy, Your rant produced a thought I hadn't had before. I wonder how competitive ASP would be vs. CF if it were not free, but instead offered at roughly the same price point? I just finished up a post to a thread on an HWG list that someone started by asking about free or low cost web/database solutions. There is a large community out there that is really into "free" and/or open source software. They sneer at companies that offer what they term "proprietary" solutions. All other things being equal, I can't imagine that nearly as many people would bother to learn and use ASP, if they had to pay for it. I'm kind of surprised that Allaire hasn't pushed their own free options more aggressively. It would be a serious coup, if they started offering Studio for free. I have no idea what their sales figures look like, but it would seem they make most of their money off of their enterprise class offerings and support subscriptions. Studio for free would certainly kick ASP's butt. Regards, --John Microsoft is giving away ASP like they gave away Internet Explorer. IE, ASP+ .NET all of this is a part of Microsofts agenda to push them as a premiere devleoper of Applicaton servers provider tools and Applications Services through Microsoft. I truly believe giving away ASP does not hurt competition but if they make ASP+ a better tool and still give it away for free they are STLL practicing monopolistic tactics and I still truly believe even tho this is seemingly counterproductive at first that microsoft should be broken into at the very least Applications Company and Operating System Company. I just think it is highly un-fair of MS to be doing something like this. -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: Inserting (or updating) more than one record at a time
Gina, I don't have a specific response to your question, only a suggestion. If your form fields correspond to columns in a table, you might find everything much easier to deal with if you modify the structure of your database. You have, essentially, these types of information: CLIENTID1,TASKID1,SUNHOURS1,MONHOURS1,TUEHOURS1,WEDHOURS1,THUHOURS1, FRIHOURS1,SATHOURS1. To get different ClientIDs, you change the "1" to a different number and add new columns to the table. What you might consider is breaking this up into at least two tables, one for the ClientID, and the second one for the tasks and hours associated with that ID. All of the fields in the second table can have the ending number dropped, then be combined into a single table with only 9 columns. The ClientID field would be the link back to your Client table. Doing this will shrink the size and complexity of your database, make it easier to add new ClientIDs, if needed, and make inserts, updates, and deletes, not to mention select queries, a snap to write.

Re: Extranet's
Rif, I'm not certain how you're using the term, "extranet." If you mean access by a limited number of people outside your firewall (not the whole world), then it's basically similar to your intranet with some extra security considerations. How much access you give the extranet users should probably depend on their relationship to your organization. What do you want them to know? What do you want them to be able to do? I'd recommend putting your extranet users in the same table with your employees. An extra column could differentiate between the two. Since they're coming in from outside, you might also want to provide logins for them.

Re: [CF-Talk] OT: Subject lines
Tom, I beg to differ, just slightly. Except for sorting by To: and CC:, I don't see anything you mention that Netscape Mail can't do. Maybe if I'd been able to sort on those two fields before now, I might see some advantage to it. Other than that, I have folders and filters for everything, and I can sort and search every other field in a message. I wouldn't mention it except that you seem to indicate NS has limited functionality. Using it, I can filter all my lists, and zip through 500 messages or more in a very short while. I'm in full agreement on Notes client. The same batch of mail in Notes takes nearly 10 times as long (that's no exageration). The folks who designed it obviously never received more than 25 messages in a day or created more than three mail folders. --John tom muck mbeat.com>cc: Subject: Re: [CF-Talk] OT: Subject lines 09/21/2000 09:05 AM Please respond to cf-talk Consider switching to Outlook express.

This is probably a shot in the dark, but maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. My Studio 4.01 has been humming happily for a long time.

Re: Problem with Studio
Michael, I installed DW 4 Ultra Dev sometime back, but it didn't hurt anything. I have uninstalled it, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled CF Server and CF Studio a couple of times. I did some diagnostics and discovered some registry errors related, I think, to MDAC, which I fixed with Norton Systemworks. I reinstalled MDAC from the CF folder. I seem to recall an MDAC patch from Microsoft, but after searching their site, I can't figure out what it might have been. All of my applications work fine, including queries. But still, every time I touch Localhost in Studio's Database tab, I get the error, "The connection to the server cannot be established." And whenever I click refresh on the rds://localhost server in the Remote Servers tab, I get the error, "The system cannot find the file specified." Much of my searching in CF help leads me into server security issues. It might be worth noting that I can't follow some of the recommendations, because I don't have "Advanced Security" available to me within CF Administrator.

CFServer Problem
Me again. I've been working for several days to repair whatever problem has mangled my ColdFusion installation. I've uninstalled everything related to CF that I can find, cleaned up the registry, uninstalled IIS, reinstalled Windows, reinstalled IIS, reinstalled ColdFusion, and I continue to have the same problem. In addition I've spent considerable time on both Microsoft's and Macromedia's web sites and in the books. So I throw myself on the mercy of you guys. There has to be an expert who's faced a similar problem and who can point me in the right direction. I'm running: Win2K Pro (plenty of RAM and disk space - no current registry errors) IIS 5.0 - The server displays its default files and help system, so I know it's running okay. I had MDAC 2.7, but I think my most recent reinstallation of CF may have reinstalled MDAC 2.0 (but reinstalling 2.7 doesn't change the situation) CF 4.01 This is the error message I get in Windows Events: The SiteMinder Authentication Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. Authorization Service is not running either. It displays: The SiteMinder Authorization Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. For both, Windows displays Event ID: 7000 My choices are to call Microsoft ($$), call Macromedia ($$), or take my computer to a local repair shop ($$). Thanks for any help you can provide.

Good thought, Uwe, but I've run 4.01 under Win2K for a year and a half without a hiccup. But, thanks anyway. My suspicions run toward the IIS Metabase or some Windows .dll that got corrupted.

Re: CFServer Problem
I can't turn them on, since they are off. I don't know if Siteminder Services are the cause, or whether the problem is simply coincidental, but when I attempt to access my datasources through the database tab within Studio, I am unable to do so (hence, unable to view tables or construct queries), and I receive the following message: "An error occurred accessing ColdFusion Server: The authentication failed."

Check for variable
I have several templates that require an ID variable to be passed to them. When the templates load, they run a query "WHERE (COUNTY_NO = '#ID#')" -- ID is a CGI variable. I'm trying to account for users that will try to load these templates without the ID, but I can't make either IsDefined or ParameterExists work for me. If the user attempts to load without the proper ID, I'd like to redirect them to another page where I let them select the county and type of information they want. I've tried every permutation I can find, but I can't get it to work. I'd simply like to: 1) Load the page and check for cgi variable 2) If variable exists, process the page 3) If not, redirect user to another page? Any suggestions? Also, I understand I'm not doing this very efficiently. Rather than having different templates for particular types of information, I should be using the same template and creating the HTML using some sort of "method". However, I haven't yet come across an explanation of how to do this (e.g., the way Allaire presents everything with an ID &Method="..."). Could anyone direct me to a resource for a description?

Advice on approach
I accept submissions for links to be listed on one of my sites. Originally, this was merely by E-mail. Then I set up a form, so I could get as many fields filled in as possible and save some research time. The form generated an E-mail to me and the sender. Now, I'd like to have submitters enter the info directly in my database. Should I let them enter it in my main tables, or should I create separate tables and, once I approve the submissions, copy them to the main tables? If I do it the first way, I'd need to set up a flag to allow display, once I've approved the submission. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Next N records
Sorry to bring this back up. I thought I had saved a post on this topic, but it's no where to be found. Also checked CFWACK and Danesh. Trying to get to the CF Talk archives returns a file not found. So I'd like to do the "Next 30 records", "Previous 30 records" thing, but loops are just beyond me right now. Could someone explain how to set and then reset the needed variables for each successive page of my query results?

Re: Left Join syntax for MS Access
Eron, You'd be surprised what some experimentation with the Access query builder will net you. But here are a couple of snippets that might shed some light on it for you. SELECT Person.persid, Person.FN, Person.LN, Pers_works.* FROM Person LEFT JOIN Pers_works ON Person.PersID = Pers_works.PersID WHERE person.persid = #ID# or, adding in a right join: FROM (Person LEFT JOIN Pers_works ON Person.PersID = Pers_works.PersID) RIGHT JOIN PersCounty ON Person.PersID = PersCounty.PersID WHERE ( ((PersCounty.CntyID)='#ID#')) The parentheses help you see what's getting joined to what.

Self join?
Hi all, I have a CFFORM where the field values are populated with variables I set at the top of the page. variable1="" if a new record, or variable1="#field1#" from a query if an update. For one of the fields in the form, I have to query another one-column table for values. I got it working, sort of, but I have two problems. First, some of the values in the second table are multiple words, like "Civil Rights Leader", but when the first table is updated, I only get the first word... anything after the first space is not passed. Any thoughts? Second, for maintenance purposes, I would rather not maintain two tables for this information. Would you recommend using a self join on this field, so that I can get a drop down list of all the available values and enter an new value while I'm updating the main record? I suppose another alternative is to create a linking table in which I would store only keys. Given the number of tables I have already and the complexity of the application, I'd rather not, but I would follow the advice of the more experienced among you. What I'm looking for here is what I always called (prior to using CF and SQL) a lookup on previously entered values.

PING to check URL
I can't find any documentation on using the PING command to check for a valid URL.

I've set up a link submission form using one table with the "Approve" column, but I'm also allowing modifications to existing records. If I cause the "Approve" flag to be reset when someone changes a link, I take it out of service.

Re: PING to check URL
Thanks, Dave. Maybe I'm narrowing the choices by my question. I'm not hung up on PING. I would merely like to be able to check for a URL behind the scenes in my script, without forcing my visitor to do it for me (enter it, test it, and either click the back button or close the new window, depending on how I set it up). If the address, entered in a browser, would return a 404 I'd like to be able to send back a prompt, so the user can take appropriate action.

CFINSERT on multiple tables
This question applies equally to inserts and updates, but describes inserts for simplicity. All references to CFINSERT I've found in CFWACK and Danesh describe the inclusion of only one tablename. For forms that query relational tables, would you have to provide for two separate inserts within a CFTRANSACTION? I'm pretty sure this will work, but I'm wondering if I can utilize one of my Access queries as the "tablename" value and do the insert in one action. Also for the child table, where I might be inserting multiple rows, do I need to do the inserts within a loop? Please be patient if this seems elementary. I'm still somewhat of a newbie. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated... -- John Allred / Jackson, Mississippi Mississippi Counties http://www.mscounties.com/ -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Multiple tables redux

Re: OT: Uncommon fonts
Uwe,
This question might be better directed to a general HTML list like those
offered by the HTML Writers Guild at http://www.hwg.org, however...
You're not giving all the information needed here, but let me take a
shot at it. HTML and CSS don't know or care about fonts. They will
simply transmit a request to display a font, but for the request to be
honored by the browser, the font(s) must exist on the user's system. If
you specify Frutiger in a web page, only a few of your visitors are
likely to see the font.
Now, if you want to acquire the font and make graphics from it to use
for your navigation, you'll need to own it. Since many software
applications ship with a generous supply of fonts, you might already
have it, although it might be named differently.
Adobe has the font for sale at
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_073.html
Personally, if I were going to create graphics from a font and I already
had Swiss or Futura, I wouldn't bother buying Frutiger. For web work,
there's not enough difference to justify spending any money on it.
As a last resort, you could take your best shot at it in your code by
specifying multiple fonts. A browser will use the first font in a list
that's installed on the system. For instance, in HTML, use or, in CSS, use
SelectorName {
font-family : frutiger, futura, swiss, sans-serif;
{
HTH,

Re: CF, PHP vs. JSP?
Steven, If the client has a thoroughly thought out plan, and JSP fits well with that plan, then he/she probably does know what they want. Otherwise, it's probably the equivalent of a beauty contest. In that case, their decision would be based on less quantifiable or definable issues. If they are only "leaning," then it might be good to give them the alternatives with dollar estimates. It's going to cost the client more money or less money, depending on which route they take. Someone else might be able to do a JSP site for less than you could do it using CF. Or maybe you can save them a lot of money and provide other benefits they hadn't considered before. Unless the client is as technically savvy as you, side by side comparisons are of little use, IMO. They're still going to decide the issue on the same criteria they would have used otherwise. If you can discover those criteria, you can help them decide what is most beneficial to them.

Displaying CF code
I have some CF templates on an intranet for which I'd like to display the code in the user's browser. I find myself without my printed manuals, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in the online help. Can someone recommend a method I can use to include and transform the code from a CF template in another template and have it display but not execute? I fear I'm not making this very clear. What I want to do is have my main template, that is including a file based on a CFSWITCH on a variable, either include a file and execute it or pull that same file in and display the code only by replacing the left brackets with < .

Re: Making Check Box Selection Mandetory
Claude, Brian and David have suggested client-side approaches, but you can also make a checkbox field required, using server side validation. Just set it up with a hidden field in the format, your_checkbox_field_required, the same as your other required fields. Be sure not to preselect any of the checkboxes, or you'll defeat the validation. --John "AustralianAccommodation.com Pty. Ltd."

Re: Selects in CFGRID
Thanks, guys. I kind of think someone missed the boat on this applet. Wouldn't it seem reasonable that, if you want to use a grid to insert/update/delete records, you might want to have it operate much like a FORM or CFFORM, using SELECT fields? Oh, well. Also, I may be missing it, but I can't find any way to apply edits to the fields or to format the data, like with numberformat or dateformat. Without all this functionality, seems like you have a merely pretty table that encourages the insertion of really sloppy data. Just my .02, and thanks again. --John Dave Watts wrote: > > > > Yeah.

Multi-table inserts & updates
I need some advice on how to set up a form that will either insert or
update data to multiple tables in the same database. I have a parent and
two child tables in an Access database, and there is a one-to-many
relationship established between the parent and each of the children. I'd
like to keep this so I can cascade deletes, but if need be, I can work
around it.
At present, the on my entry template includes only one field
for one of the child tables. Using the following code in my action
template, I can use one form to insert a record in both tables.
select max(vid) as bid
from vendor
insert into bullets(bid, nbrOrder, bullet)
values ('#getID.bid#', '#nbrOrder#', '#bullet#')
Ideally, I'd like to be able to enter any number of child records at the
same time I create the parent record, using the same form. I'm thinking it
might be possible to switch to and include a for the
child tables.
Has anyone done something like this? And could you offer advice on this or
another approach. So far as I can find, CFWACK only has two paragraphs on
entering data in multiple tables (p. 271 in the 2nd ed.).
Thanks for any help.

Re: Multi-table inserts & updates
David,
Thanks for the interest, but I suspect the solution you're heading towards
would revolve around populating records in one table with multi-selects
from another table. What I'm needing (or wanting) to do is enter multiple
records in the child table where the input is text that the user types in.
In case I'm wrong, the answer to your question is that the "nbrOrder" and
"bullet" fields in the child table are simply text fields -- bullet is for
the text to be entered, and nbrOrder is for the order the user wishes to
establish for the resulting UL elements on the display template.
Thanks,
--John

Please
respond to
cf-talk
John,
I see that bullets is one of the child tables, and that its bid field
provides the relationship to the parent table. Where do nbrOrder and
bullet come from? Which field comes from the child table's field
on the entry template?
I ask in order to see if my method would work for you. I have an entry
template with a form containing several text input elements for parent
table values, and a multiple-select element whose options each represent
an entry in a child table. Upon submit I put the option values into a
hidden element as a list. On the form's action page I insert a record
into the parent table and then I loop over the list, doing an insert into
the child table for each list item.
It ain't easy to explain, but your answers to my questions at the top may
make it more clear to us.

Re: Multi-table inserts & updates
David, Thanks. I hadn't thought of your Option 2. I'm still thinking of a couple of other ways. The main thing with most obvious approaches is that the parent record has to be created first, then the children in subsequent steps. I guess what I was originally hoping for was something like entering parent and child info, saving the parent record and storing the child elements in an array or structure on one pass, then moving them to the child table in a second pass or upon Save & Exit. Seems like this would insulate the user from the trips back and forth to the database to build up the parent and child records and behave more like non-web applications. Thanks for the suggestion. --John David ShadovitzTo: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Multi-table inserts & updates 10/26/2000 09:41 AM Please respond to cf-talk In your situation you're wondering if you need to put N text input elements on the form to allow the user to specify N records in the child table. I got around this by using a multiple-select element, where each option is akin to one of your text fields. This works for me because the options are chosen from a pre-defined set of possible values. It won't work for you since text could be anything. Two options that I see: 1. Put N text input elements on the page and hope that N is a good guess. 2. Use two input pages, not one. On the first, gather the parent table info, and let the user specify how many child records he wants to make. Submit that page to a 2nd page which creates exactly that number of text input elements.

Form and CFGRID on same page
Sorry for cross-posting. I should have sent this message only to CF-Talk. I want to include a CFGRID on the same page with a FORM. When the parent record is created, I would hide the grid, since it's designed for child records. However on updates to the form, I'd like to show the grid, allowing users to enter items that would be displayed on another page as a bulleted list. The page would query the parent table and populate the form on updates. The problem I anticipate is that by updating either the form OR the grid, I will destroy any changes made in the other. Has anyone tried to do something like this where they pass both sets of variables to a template that has the form update and cfgridupdate in a cftransaction? Given what I know, this seems pretty far-fetched, but I know I'm not the first to ever want to do this.

Re: OT: Button action
Kevin, If you substitute an image, be sure to give it a tabindex.

Re: What's in a name
Kevin, Why not let them enter their names like they want to and use UCASE or LCASE when comparing the search parameter with the field from the query? Add LIKE, and you're set. Try something like: lcase(LINK) LIKE '%#lcase(SearchEntry)#%' in the WHERE clause of your query. This will return partial matches entered in any combination of upper/lower case. --John Allred "Parker, Kevin" wrote: > > I've set up a system where people can lodge their abstracts electronically > for an international congress being held here next year. > > I've now added a facility to that so that web site users can search those > abstracts.

Re: Joining Two Text Fields?
Marco, I do this with one of my sites (combining fields to construct a URL), and it works fine. I think, possibly, including the "?ID=" in the field may be the culprit. Try removing these characters from the field, then construct the URL as follows: It's been a while since I struggled with getting it to work on my site, but as I recall, I had problems with ".cfm" being in the field that corresponds to your "#NewDeals.CouponURL#". When I removed the ".cfm" from the field and placed it outside the pounds, like: , everything worked. If you have other file types, this might require some conditional logic to accomplish. At the time, I didn't try URLEncodedValue on the field. This might work, too. --John Marco Gil wrote: > > I'm using IE and it's two values.

Re: Advice on approach
Thanks, Nick. This makes sense, as it's probably simpler than trying to maintain two sets of tables. However, there may be a downside: I have five templates, plus a search form that look at these links. Four of them list all of the links in various ways. For each, I would have to add the display flag. Given that the number of links is likely to climb to nearly 10,000 at some point, do you think there would be a performance penalty? Thanks so much for the opinion. --John Nick Slay wrote: > > Hi John, > > Personally, I'd have a StatusFlag on my Link Table.

Searching with one form field
I have a field, (Person), in a form which will search according to the following criteria: WHERE lcase(FN) LIKE '%#lcase(Person)#%' OR lcase(LN) LIKE '%#lcase(Person)#%' OR lcase(Real_Name) LIKE '%#lcase(Person)#%' I don't have the first and last names combined anywhere in my database, and unless I have users enter names in separate first and last name entry fields (which I'd rather not do), they WILL put both names in the search field. This, of course, won't work. I've RTFM, but I can't figure how to either split out the words in the entry field, or combine two of my database fields within the WHERE clause of my query. Has anyone done something like this?

Who is it who's famed for saying, "On the other hand, you could try..."? Dave? I simply added: OR lcase(FN + ' ' + LN) LIKE '%#lcase(SearchText)#%' to the WHERE clause of my query.

I agree with someone earlier (and with, Doh! Microsoft) that no sensitive information should be stored in cookies. However, encrypting whatever you do store and announcing that fact (assuming this became a trend among developers), would sure take the wind out of the sails of the muddled media, which seems to thrive on manufactured crises in the web world.

Index of array
Is there a way to compare the content of a variable with the members of an array to get the index position of the corresponding array element? Maybe there's a better way to do this, but this seems like the right direction. What I have is a query with two columns, one alpha and one numeric (created as an autonumber). For instance, my query would return something like: ID NAME 33 "A Better Way Carpet Cleaning" 12 "Dynamic Accountants" Notice that the ID numbers are not in ascending order and have gaps between them. The array would have these two elements in alpha order by NAME. Is there a way to compare my current URL.ID of 33 to this array, return 0, to which I could add 1 to get the value, 12, from the next element in the array? I'm wearing out CFWACK and Mastering, as well as the online help. Thanks, ~~ Your ad could be here.

Re: Index of array
Jeffry, Thanks. The idea was to create Next Record and Previous Record buttons on my page. Perhaps it would be simpler to find the next alphabetical element, but I just couldn't see it. I was thinking was that, if my current record's index was 5, I could get the next record by simply adding 1 and the previous record by subtracting 1, since the array positions would be numbered sequentially.

CF or Spectra vs. Broadvision
I have a new job in the Operations division of a large corporation. Prior to my arrival, my group developed thousands of static pages for store managers and district managers using Dreamweaver. We are the conduit for directions coming out of the corporate office, and the corporation decided within the last year to personalize the content, based on job description. The idea was to simplify very complex pages (suffering extreme information overload) into channels, where people see what they need to see, without the clutter. District Managers should be able to view the pages their store managers and the stores' department managers see. In Operations, we should be able to create content and specify who sees it and for how long. The IT department was asked to come up with a solution over a year ago. They waited till almost the last minute, and they're now telling us that they've selected Broadvision. They also tell us that they can't implement our designs (which we think are very effective, BTW). I know nothing of Broadvision, so I don't know whether the problem lies with Broadvision or their limited understanding of its capabilities. Having said all that, I know that with a small group of CF programmers, it would be possible to do this project right, with all of the features we're being told can't be done by the IT folks. Could any of you with Broadvision knowledge or experience offer some insights on this situation? This is an intranet that handles above a million hits a day. Is Broadvision the tool? Or is there good info out there that I could use to influence management on my side of the fence? Is Spectra a viable alternative to Broadvision? Sorry. I don't know which specific Broadvision product they're using. ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
