Use JavaScript to get flash cfform object and name
Hello and thanks in advance :) I have a flash cfform and on this form I have a cfinput button with an onclick event that calls some JavaScript. This JavaScript attempts to run the onclick event of another cfinput button on another flash cfform. The problem I''m having is that when I attempt to reference the forms nothing happens. If I run: var FrmOne = document.forms[ 0 ]; alert(FrmOne); I get an alert that says only [OBJECT] If I run: var FrmOne = document.forms[ 0 ]; alert(FrmOne.name); I get an alert with an empty string. (Btw the form has both a NAME and an ID) It's as if JavaScript cannot find the forms, but if I run a JavaScript count of the form elements on the page it comes back with 2, which is what I would expect. I've successfully fired the onclick event of a cfinput on a cfform format=flash before and I've been scouring every forum I can find, but no one seems to have covered this particular problem, unless of course I've just been searching it all wrong.

Re: How would I change this to a div
Did you try putting float:left as a style on the div? Also you could make a table with a single row and td's to get the bars next to each other. It could be that the reason the barcode is vertical is that it is stacking the divs. Divs are block elements by default so each one will be put on a new line. -- Josh On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 2:33 PM, Bruce Sorge sor...@gmail.com wrote: Well after realizing that I cannot access their java library with createObject(java), I decided that I am going to go ahead and change hosts.

Re: SOT: curved corners
There are a couple of jQuery plugins that do curved corners. I think they use math to draw curved corners out of 1x1 pixel divs when there is not css available (older browsers).

CFScript help
I'm attemping to create a function that adds spaces either in front of or
behind a string. For example, I want this test string to have 6 spaces after
it, plus the 4 characters in test for a total of 10 characters. I have an
align variable for both left and right alignment for the spaces. So far, the
only result I get is 'test ' instead of 'test '
CFSCRIPT
function spaceFiller(cell, fill, align) {
var newcell = ;
if (len(cell) EQ 0) {
cell = ;
}
newcell = cell;
for (i=1; i EQ len(fill - (len(cell))); i=i+1) {
if (align EQ R) {
newcell =newcell;
} else { newcell = newcell ;
}
}
return (newcell);
}
/CFSCRIPT
cfoutput
10 characters - align left: '#spaceFiller(test,10,L)#'
/cfoutput
The result I get is 'test ' and what I want is 'test '

Re: Is Coldfusion losing it biggest asset?
My guess is that Adobe makes a small but reliable profit with ColdFusion, and therefore has very little incentive to spend money marketing it. They are probably quite happy collecting license fees and paying a few devs to crank out new versions. This bodes well in that as long as it is profitable they won't kill it entirely, but it's certainly no way to grow the product. -- Josh On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 5:41 PM, Michael Grant mgr...@modus.bz wrote: No. I'm comparing little apples (Allaire) to bigger apples (Macromedia) to enormous apples (Adobe).

I looked at the Apache connector source code and found the following comment in the code that handles the redirect: This code seems to work for IIS but not for any of the other web servers.

Actually, it's probably something only someone from the Allaire days could tell us.

RE: Web service operation... with parameters...cannot be found. error
Web services tend to get cached -- I notice you said you get the same error
even removing all the code so it sounds like that is what's happening.
There are a couple of ways you can clear them:
1) In the CF administrator (if you have access) there is a section where you
can see any cached webservices and clear them manually.
2) You can add refreshWSDL=true as an additional attribute to your
cfinvoke tag. This will slow things down but it can be very useful when in
development.

Problems with multiple instances in CF9
I'm having a few issues with a couple of our staging servers that are running multiple instances of CF9, and I'm not sure if they're set up correctly. I have CF9 Enterprise multiserver installed and I created 4 additional instances using the Instance Manager. I also created a specific jvm for each one to use and reregistered each service to use the custom jvm. In Apache I added the following to each vhost (changing the serverstore and port): IfModule mod_jrun22.c JRunConfig Serverstore C:/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/muffin/jrunserver.store JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51000 /IfModule However, when the service is stopped for one of the sites, instead of getting the JRun 500 error it will instead return a CF error or the site will still come up.

RE: Looking for a CF Recipe script!
So, you don't clearly appear to be in favor of CF behaving differently from lower-level languages. Sorry I was not clear. Yes, I am in favor of CFML behaving differently, and I think from a human perspective, 1-based indices make sense. When I said A whole other discussion is whether it was smart for CFML to 'correct' this issue I was not taking a stand either way on the smartness of CFML doing that -- merely opening up a possible discussion point for others, since there are positives and negatives. One obvious negative is that it can be used by CF detractors as an argument for CFML not being a serious language.

So, you don't clearly appear to be in favor of CF behaving differently from lower-level languages. But most other programming languages are essentially based on C/C++ in syntax, and those are lower-level languages. So are you saying that C-style languages should behave differently? Or that some C-style languages - arguably higher-level languages like Java and C#? - should behave differently from others? Don't take this as a personal attack or anything - it's not - I just don't really understand your point. This is basically the argument for COBOL, and look how that turned out. If you want to be a competent programmer, right now, you need to understand pretty well how computers work. That may not be the case in the future, but it is right now. CF hides a lot of the complexity of computers, but it can't hide all of the complexity. This is why, in my opinion, many CF programmers who don't have this deeper understanding write programs that fail as their scope, complexity or usage grow significantly.

Subject: Problems with slashes in JSON
I can't figure this thing out for the life of me, and I know it's got to
be something simple that I'm missing.
Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm using jQuery to hit a CFC and return
data. The CFC actually queries the database, loops through results and
creates list items for each row. I then return the list items to
jQuery, which populates my UL with them. Here's my problems and what
I've done so far:
* returning the data from my CFC as a string causes jQuery to
actually display the html code in the brower, so I literally see
liEric Cobb/li.
* returning the data as JSON shows the list items correctly, but my
page is littered with \\n\\t\\t\\t\\t at the end of every record.
* I used a regex to clean up all of the line breaks, carriage
returns, and tabs in my CFC before returning to jQuery and that works.
* In every record that contains a slash / in the data, the slash
has been replaced with \\\/.
* Nothing I do can get rid of these slashes. I've tried RegEx,
SerializeJSON(), and JSStringFormat() in CF, and a whole whoost of
jQuery escape(), html(), text(), and replace() functions, and
nothing works.
I think my biggest problem is that I've staring at and fighting with
this thing for too long.
Here's my method:
!--- get a list of all external customers for AJAX calls ---
cffunction name=AJAXgetAllCustomers access=remote
output=false returnformat=json
!--- create a struct to hold our local variables. ---
cfset var loc = structNew()
!--- returns a query. ---
cfset loc.custList = getAllCustomers() /
cfsavecontent variable=loc.rtnContent
cfoutput query=loc.custList
li#Trim(loc.custList.full_name)# -
#Trim(loc.custList.addr_line1)#, #Trim(loc.custList.city)#,
#Trim(loc.custList.state)#
/cfoutput
/cfsavecontent
!--- remove all line breaks, carriage returns, and tabs. ---
cfset loc.rtnContent =
ReReplace(loc.rtnContent,[#chr(10)#|#chr(13)#|#chr(9)#],,ALL)
cfreturn SerializeJSON(Trim(loc.rtnContent))
/cffunction
And here is my jQuery call:
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentdiv').load('myCFC.cfc?method=AJAXgetAllCustomers');
});
/script
So, can someone please tell me how to escape the characters so that I
can get rid of the \\\/ in my display output? And while I'm on the
subject, surely there has got to be a better way than having to manually
escape every character individually that may cause problems. I
shouldn't have to run regex and whatnot to make everything work. In my
mind, SerializeJSON() (or returnformat=json for that matter) should
have everything escaped and formatted nicely for jQuery, who should then
know how to parse everything and display is correctly. Am I wrong?

RE: jquery $.ajax - need help with json syntax
I think jQuery's serialize() only works on forms.
Since you can't pass a JS object to the server, you'll probably have to
serialize it yourself before you pass it in the ajax call.
Also since you are doing $(dat).serialize(), jQuery is looking for a tag
named dat rather than the variable dat. You would want $( dat
).serialize(), but I'm not sure that would work anyway, since serialize() is
geared toward form serialization.

Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as overcharging customers. If you think it costs too much, you don't buy it, or you find a cheaper product. That's how the free market works.

CFMap weirdness
I'm playing with CF9 for the first time on my local machine (Windows 7 / IIS) and have CF working fine. I've been trying to make CFMap work, but I'm getting no response to the simplest examples of code. Example: cfmap name=gmap01 centeraddress=275 Grove Street Newton, MA 02466 This is all I have in the page. It doesn't throw an error, it just shows NOTHING. I've thrown CFTry/Catch around it, but it's not throwing any errors. I have the google maps key appropriately defined (removing that DOES throw an error). Nothing in the logs. It seems to parse the page just fine, but displays nothing. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to look to track down the problem? Thanks!

RE: 'Tis a sad, sad day...jQuery kills FireFox but works great in IE!
You might get a tad bit more speed if you do this in your selectors:
$(table.stripetbodytr.oldUsers)
Instead of this:
$(.oldUsers)
This is because jQuery will execute the DOM search more specifically instead
of having to traverse the whole DOM for that class.

Yeah, after tinkering with it a little more I realized what I was trying

to have to deal with a unique ID for all 500 rows.
Anyway, here's my jQuery now:
$(#userFilter).click(function(){

if ($(#userFilter).is(:checked)){
//hide all old users
$(.oldUsers).css(display,none);
}
else {
//show all old users
$(.oldUsers).css(display,table-row);
}
});
It works correctly in both FF and IE, although in FF there's still a
good bit of lag time from when you click the checkbox until it actually
hides the rows. I guess it's just the way FF is dealing with so many
table rows.

That's not true. Everything I've read says that the less specific you are,
the faster your code will run.
In your example, it has to search through a whole bunch of stuff rather than
just going and finding items with a class of oldUsers.

Oh...if you are using the load function, then you can just do this somewhere

$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
This will make it so any and all subsequent ajax requests (including load)

RE: How to handle CF variables in JS (jQuery) external files...
I guess the question is, why do you need the datasource name in your
javascript code? Generally, only the server should need to know about that.
If the DSN name exists in the application scope already, you should be able
to reference it in your CFML code on the server, and thus you wouldn't need
to pass it as part of your ajax request.

Subject: RE: How to handle CF variables in JS (jQuery) external files...
Interesting solution, Tony.
I realized when I tried James' approach of placing my js in external .cfm
files
that the js didn't execute as expected. When I placed the js code directly
in the calling page again, it acted normally. It appears that the .cfm
extension
caused some change in interaction between the cf and js code and the
results.
So, I tried putting the js code into external .js files and hard-coding the
datasource name into the js values and it worked properly.
However, putting the application.dsn variable into a .cfm file inside the js
code
did expose the datasource name in the source code.
So, I tried your approach and put this after the link to the main jQuery
file:
cfoutput
script type=text/javascript
$.dsn = '#application.dsn#';
/script
/cfoutput
Then for the external js file, I used:
values = { dsn: $.dsn }
that worked fine, but when I viewed the source code for calling page,
I could still see:
script type=text/javascript
$.dsn = myDatasourceName;
/script
Is there a way to hide the datasource name in the source code?
As I look through the js code in my calling page, the datasource name
is still visible in other code, as well.
I don't see a way to prevent that from happening.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Rick

Simply declare your JS vars at the top of the page and reference them in
your js file.
cfoutput
script
$.datasource = '#application.datasource#';
$.root = '#application.root#';
$.user = '#session.user#';
/script
/cfoutput
Then load your js files underneath. This way, your browser can cache your js
files as normal and you are not loading unnecessary external files on each
page request.

Charlie and Brad...you've both come to the same solution
with the YesNoFormat() function, however, I don't see where
I can implement that. (I'm just probably brain-fried from
dealing with jquery, json, ajax, and CF..and to think I *just*
got back from vacation! No good!)
Anyway, I'm outputting the data in the DOM via javascript, as in:
out.push('div' + row[5] + '/div');
so I don't have a chance to use the YesNoFormat function there.
Do I need a client-side, js formatting solution in this case?
(I asked about this on the jQuery list, thinking that it would
need to be a client-side formatting solution, but it was suggested
I look for a server-side solutionaround we go...)

Yes, the JSON formatting tries to guess the data type for you. This can
be especially frustrating if you have numbers with significant leading
zeros like zip codes.
Sometimes you can add spaces to the data to trick CF. If I were you, I
wouldn't worry about the true/false conversion and just use the
yesNoFormat() function built into CF to turn them back into the words
yes and no.

RE: CFC and jQuery
It looks like you're getting a string back and it never becomes a javascript
object.
If you put dataType:'json' in your ajax params, I believe it will
automatically eval the response for you, which turns the json string
response into a javascript object. You should see this in Firebug as a
clickable green link; when you click it, it should show you the property
values. If it is not clickable, then you have a string rather than an
object.
This is independent of passing returnformat=json to your cfc. That creates
a json string which gets passed back to the client. However you must do
something in javascript to turn the string into an object; either eval'ing
it manually, or use dataType: 'json' which will do it for you.

Josh,
1. I already am getting the results back in JSON format using the
returnformat=json parameter. I tried $.getJSON without much success (If you
know of a good CFC example using $.getJSON, I'd be happy to review it). I
cannot even get results back using it, where as with the $.ajax I get
results, I just can't seem to do much with them but print the whole json
object(i.e. document.write) to a page or display the results in an alert
box.
2. I am Firebug and I did verify that DATA is a valid parameter. Basically
I am returning a db table and putting in JSON format. The code I have
returns the following:
{ROWCOUNT:20,COLUMNS:[SAVEDVALUE],DATA:{SAVEDVALUE:[blah,blah,bla
h]}}
But when I try and access for instance resp.ROWCOUNT, it's undefined. So
basically, I want to know how I can actually get to the values I can only
seem to read.
Thanks,
James

Maybe a little more elaboration of what you're going for is in order. If you are looking to determine network latency for a client, something ajax-y would probably fit the bill.

RE: Using Ajax to populate checkmarks?
Yeah, that's not too difficult with something like jQuery. Basically you'd do a $.getJSON call to your fuseaction, return your data, then run a function to check the checkboxes based on the data you returned. That function would be dependent on how you returned the data and what your markup is like for the checkboxes. The first thing to do is make sure you're getting the JSON data back that you expect, by using Firebug or some other debugging method. Once you have that working, you can write the function that updates the checkboxes. -- Josh -Original Message- From: Dan LeGate [mailto:d...@legeek.com] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 11:07 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Using Ajax to populate checkmarks? Hi all, We have an application we're building that will allow users to pick a template user to pre-populate some checkboxes based on that user's privileges, but not on initial load of the form. Initially ALL checkboxes will be unchecked when the page loads, however, based on this lookup, it will check certain boxes without having to reload the form. User's will be selecting a template from a select menu, and that would trigger the lookup. Has anyone done anything like that, where, based on a database lookup, you are able to check certain checkboxes on the page AFTER THE PAGE HAS LOADED? (i.e. this is an Ajax lookup) What did you use? Or what *would* you recommend we use. Would JQuery lend itself nicely to this? We're open to anything. Have any example code? We'd also be calling it from within a Fusebox 5.5 (xml approach) app, so any hints/suggestions there would be greatly appreciated. Also, we are on ColdFusion 7, so can't use the new CFAJAX stuff.

RE: Multiple Record Queries and CFCs
Well you've run into the big problem with using ColdFusion and objects. The object instantiation speed in ColdFusion is unacceptably slow, when you get up into a large number of objects. The best solution to this problem that I've found is the IBO (iterating business object). Essentially, rather than instantiating a large number of objects, you create a single object which has a struct of arrays to contain the query data. It takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it's well worth the effort. For more information do a search for Peter Bell ColdFusion IBO. He's the one that came up with the idea when he ran into the same problem. -- Josh -Original Message- From: Donnie Carvajal [mailto:donnie.carva...@transformyx.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 12:56 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Multiple Record Queries and CFCs I have been trying to write my applications using the 3 tiered method of development, presentation layer, business logic layer and data access layer. I am having trouble coming up with an efficient method of displaying information returned in a query that has multiple records. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't all data be placed into an object based on a component so that the business logic can massage the data and return valid inforamtion based on business rules. If I am correct that that means that I should create an object for every record of the query before I display the data. Doing this slows down my web pages by 100-200% going from fractions of a second to around 20 seconds for a query that returns 100 records. All of the examples that I have come across on the web run the query in the data application layer and then in the presentation layer, loop over the query and output the data straight from the query (i.e. #qEmployees.firstName#). The problem I have with outputting the data straight from the query is that I will have to have business logic in 2 places. In the business logic component and the data access component.

Here is the response that I get: Could not find the included template /products/bf.cfm. Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template=/mypath/index.cfm) with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc.

It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.

At my previous job, after switching to CF8, we had a couple of totally
inexplicable crashes when we were using the CF8 server monitor in
production. No hung threads, no pegged cpu, just kablooey and no evidence
before the crash that anything was amiss. Once we switched it off, the
crashes stopped happening.
I think I remember earlier in the thread you mentioned something about the
server monitor. Not saying it's causing your problem, but it's worth a try
to switch it off if you haven't already.

Subject: Re: Why is my CF8 server constantly hanging?
Philip,
Based on the load you mentioned earlier and the other data you've
given me here is what I'd do.
1. upgrade the JVM to 1.6_10
2. backup my jvm.config and then edit the java.args line to this.
java.args= -server -DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE -DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -
Xmx512m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:
+UseParallelGC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=60 -
Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=60
Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/
3. next take several full stack dumps (not just a single part of one)
and run it through seestack. It will give you comparisons between
each stack dump and identify threads that are present from stack dump
to stack dump. These are the hangers or slow threads.
4. since your traffic isn't so great that debugging will hurt
performance, I would then turn on debugging (based on your IP address)
and then analyze every query that is running per request.
5. use fusion reactor alerts to alert you to a slow running thread. FR
has some good tools to help you see what is happening with the thread.
Typical points of pain I've seen
1. JVM config not right - not enough memory heap, not enough perm
memory, GC interval happening to often or not often enough.
2. Queries returning more results than you expected. Many times
people put CFIF statements in their queries and not all conditions are
accounted for thus an open ended where clause may try to return all
the rows of a table. This can cause issues for large tables.
3. critical external dependancies are slow or failing. Besides DB
access (check this also) , things like CFHTTP, external web services,
mail server (CFPOP) and file system access can cause problems if your
not setting a time out and not gracefully handling the times when the
external dependancy is unavailable.
4. excessive looping or external dependancies can cause issues even if
those dependancies are fast. Looping ten times over a resource call
that takes 1/2 second to run still give a thread time of 5 seconds
plus the time to process the rest of the thread.
This is just the start - if none of the above solves the problems (or
at least make things better) you may have to get in deeper. There is
always the option of doing a full code review. settings up a second
server with nothing but CF on it and see if you can duplicate the
problems. If not then you may be looking at the server itself more
than CF and code. If yes, then use this test server to hammer upon.

We'd probably also be getting external monitors as well, but that's a little easier to define. I'd just like input from you guys as I'm sure that SOME of you are using laptops as your primary machines. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313124 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
