RE: Slightly OT: Frame Frustration
Jim, Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I cant utilize your suggestion. Partially due to how the framed pages are heavy with javascript executed forms, and how I cflocate here and there. There actually isn't an anchor tag anywhere that the user can click on to bail out of the framed environment, and adding one isn't an option I cant explore. :( ~brian -Original Message- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] If you know which pages are to be unframed, then within your own site why don't you just make the links to those pages use a href=... target=_top? It's a little more work, but it's also cleaner than linking to a page and then requiring that page to break out of the frameset.

Slightly OT: Frame Frustration
Evening all,
2/3 of my site is non-frames, and each page executes the following JS above
to break out of frames:
!--
function FrameKill() { if (self.parent.frames.length != 0)
self.parent.location=document.location; }
--
The rest of the site is in the following frameset. (js not executed on pages
related to the frames)
frameset rows=10%,90%
frame name=1 src=1.cfm
frameset cols=90%,10%
frame name=2 src=2.cfm
frameset rows=10%,80%,10%
frame name=3 src=3.cfm
frame name=4 src=4.cfm
frame name=5 src=5.cfm
/frameset
/frameset
/frameset
When a user is in the framed portion of the site, and chooses to return to
the non-framed area, (which can be done from different places, in different
frames, at different times), the non-framed page successfully breaks out of
whatever frame it was loaded into.
This is the way we intended for it to work. (An added bonus was that all of
our pages found on AskJeeves were able to break out of their frames)
But... now we have a client who demand that we _don't_ break out of _their_
frames. They have a page on their computers that their customers access our
site through, that has a frame of navigation on it, and the main frame is
left for the desired website.
Its almost as if they have a frameset like:
frameset cols=25%,75%
frame name=CustomerNavigation src=CustomerNavigation.htm
frame name=BriansWebsite src=http://www.brianwebsite.com;
/frameset
My question is, how can I rephrase the javascript to break out of only the
frames related to my site, but not the frame my site is nested in? I've
been looking in a number of places for the answer to this (and
unfortunately, Mail-Archive.com is down), but have only been coming up with
how to break out of my own frames... nothing about nested frames on
different sites.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Since this isnt strictly CF, if
anyone would prefer to reply offlist, please do so to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
TIA,

Back when CueCats were all the rage, I wrote a CF app that would take
the
input from it, decode it, and do neat things with the UPC. Being the
geek
that I am, I didn't have much use for it beyond cataloguing my (comic)
books. But, it all really depends on your scanning hardware. The
CueCat
is
a keyboard shunt, so it inputs character data and is therefore pretty
easy
to work with in a web context. If your scanner hardware is anything
more
complex than that, you're going to end up having to write browser
plugins/ActiveX controls to get the data in, etc. As far as cost,
CueCats
are free. Visit your local RadioShack or do a web search.

Subject: Re: Bar Code Scan
I've been doing nothing but barcode apps for the last few weeks (warehouse
management and shipping system, all in CF) and here's an extremely helpful
tip:
Keyboard wedge scanners have the ability to be programmed and most will
come by default with a setting of adding a CR to each barcode scan. In IE,
pressing return will submit a form, so this works great.
But what happens when you want to scan more than one barcode? Javascript
to the rescue:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
!--
function checkForm(form) {
valid = false;
if (form.orderno.value.length 0
form.tracking.value.length 0)
{ valid = true; }
else { form.tracking.focus(); }
return valid;
}
//--
/SCRIPT
This is from a page that waits for a order scan and a delivery
confirmation label scan.
This is in the form tag:
onSubmit=return checkForm(this);
So, the javscript prevents the form from submitting until both fields are
filled AND moves the focus from the first field to the second after the
frist scan! Tada!
Hope that helps. That's been my little up my sleeve trick lately.

Stephen- To kill a users session, and clean everything up, I have a logout page with the following: cfset client.userid = 0 cfset client.parentid = 0 cfset client.useridtypes = cfset DeleteClientVariable(E_ID) cfset DeleteClientVariable(D_ID) cfset DeleteClientVariable(S_ID) cfset DeleteClientVariable(I_List) cfset DeleteClientVariable(Co_List) cfset DeleteClientVariable(Cl_List) cfset DeleteClientVariable(VPN) cfcookie name=VISITORID value= expires=NOW cfcookie name=CFID value= expires=NOW cfcookie name=CFTOKENvalue= expires=NOW cfcookie name=CFMAGICvalue= expires=NOW and then use Dan G. Switzers cf_location to kick the user to a You have logged out. I think I got it from the dev exchange... cf_location url=Goodbye.cfm?RN=#CreateUUID()# addtoken=NO The next user is then able to log into a completly fresh environment. May seem excessive, but we have multiple unique users acessing the site from the same computer (teachers and students in a school PC lab). HTH, ~bgl -Original Message- From: Stephen R.

In any case - I will go play with DeleteClientVariable(), though what I really need is for the CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to disappear form the client browser. They seem to remain. So, I close my browser, but on return to the site - the system still knows my CFID and CFTOKEN! As far as I can tell - this shouldn't be happening. It's a security issue that I need to overcome.

(reposts) cluster cats confusing client sessions? and Cookie s Sessions Proxies - Oh my!
G'morning, all, I'm having some difficulties, and searching through the archive brought up 2 previous posts. I couldn't find any replies to the original posts, and rather than retype the entire scenario, I'm going to butcher them a bit to combine the two, as they seem to be very similar to my problem. If anyone has any ideas, I (and my boss) would be most appreciative! (Thank you Dana and Sean for forming your questions in a better way than I could have). Thanks, ~Brian Brian Ledwith Learning Express www.LearnATest.com ph. 212.995.2566 x150 fx. 212.995.5512 --- My compilation --- Part 1 A client recently set up a proxy server in his office and a site we did for them stopped working. From what I can tell, CFID and CFTOKEN are not getting passed through the proxy, and thus sessions are not working.Cookies set with cfcookie *do* work fine, so it is not cookies in general that are failing. Here is my cfapplication file: cfapplication name=LearnX_Com_livesite clientmanagement=Yes clientstorage=ClientVars sessionmanagement=Yes setclientcookies=Yes sessiontimeout=#createtimespan(0,6,0,0)# applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)# SETDOMAINCOOKIES=Yes I assume it is the proxy, because if I turn off the proxy in their office and connect directly, it all works fine. When I turn confirm cookies on, it does not ask me if I want to allow the CFID and CFTOKEN to be set. If I surf without the proxy, it does. Part 2 I have a members-only service to which visitors log in with a user name and password. I keep track of the visitors identity and membership status with client variables referenced to cftoken and cfid BOTH in a cookie AND in a url.variable for those running without cookies. The best I've been able to come up with is something along the lines of User 1 comes in to Server 1 and gets assigned to Session A. User 2 comes in to the back up, Server 2, which keeps its own session count and gives User 2 Session A. User 2 then returns to the site during a period of less activity, is identified by Server 1 as Session A and is associated with User 1. Makes sense? Of course not. The client variables are stored in a single central db used by both servers. So even if someone was redirected to a backup server mid-session, the system should keep their identity straight.

Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 14:36:12 -0700 Hey everyone, I've just run into some quirkiness this afternoon, and I thought I would seek some insight. A client recently set up a proxy server in his office and a site we did for them stopped working. From what I can tell, CFID and CFTOKEN are not getting passed through the proxy, and thus sessions are not working. Cookies set with cfcookie *do* work fine, so it is not cookies in general that are failing. Here is my cfapplication file: cfapplication name=SomeName clientmanagement=Yes setclientcookies=Yes sessionmanagement=Yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)# So, if I understand things, CFID and CFTOKEN should be stored as in-memory cookies, but it doesn't seem to be working. I assume it is the proxy, because if I turn off the proxy in their office and connect directly, it all works fine. When I turn confirm cookies on, it does not ask me if I want to allow the CFID and CFTOKEN to be set. If I surf without the proxy, it does. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a work-around? Dana Larose -Original Message- From: Sean German Subject: cluster cats confusing client sessions? Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 14:40:50 -0700 Howdy, Over the past couple days I've had several instances of members of my site seeing account information of other members. I have a members-only service to which visitors log in with a user name and password. I keep track of the visitors identity and membership status with client variables referenced to cftoken and cfid either in a cookie or in a url.variable for those running without cookies. We've been up for about two years and never had this type of issue before the last week or so. The only event I can come up with that roughly correlates to the onset of the issue is a period last week of higher than usual traffic that caused Cluster Cats to load-balance a lot of folks to our back up server. The best I've been able to come up with is something along the lines of User 1 comes in to Server 1 and gets assigned to Session A. User 2 comes in to the back up, Server 2, which keeps its own session count and gives User 2 Session A.

RE: encryption of form url variables

I know by using encrypt(), decrypt() functions we can do that but the problem is when we want to send the hidden form variables to the next page, and some of the variables thru the link . how can we do that? thanx in advance nagesh ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
