RE: Parsing XML response from web services with ColdFusion DeserializeJSON
I had very similar problems with the BING AdCenter API which I and several others never could get working. Almost identical errors. I even sent over the raw responses from Fiddler and Microsoft technical support response to me was the same thing. "It's one of CF's downfalls". Now I'm going to have to go back try again :) Round two.

The problem here is that simply using Replace() function to replace those lines with nothing isn't working. The Replace function requires that you specify a pattern. There are a couple of other ways you could do this: - replace everything before and after using simple string functions - treat the response as a list of lines and use list functions to remove the lines you don't want.

RE: Form submission error
Thanks Ray, I got it working now! It's in the neo_runtime.xml file. Appreciate the help as always :) Matt ColdFusion will block a form post with too many form fields. In CF10, you can go into the Admin and tweak the # (default is 100), in CF9 I believe it is some XML file. Will try to grab that doc for you. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355645 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Form submission error
I'm trying to fix a page that was working at one time and now I'm getting some odd behavior. The form is pretty large and has well over 100 fields. When I submit the form I get an 500 error in IE. In Firefox, the form posts to a blank page and Firebug throws this error in the console: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol. I have this just after the tag on the page that the form is on: The form fields are all unique and dynamically created in this manner: Fieldname1_2_2013 Fieldname1_3_2013 Fieldname1_4_2013 Fieldname1_5_2013 Fieldname2_1_2013 Fieldname2_2_2013 Fieldname2_3_2013 Fieldname2_4_2013 Fieldname2_5_2013 Etc. When I strip down the form to only allow around 30 fields, it passes the data fine. I even managed to find the point at which is fails and it appears to be some sort of size issue. However, I checked the cfadmin to make sure the Max size of post data was jacked up, but that doesn't seem to the be the issue either. Any ideas?

RE: (ot) Online Learning Platforms
Did I a lot of Student Management work in CF to integrate into Blackboard and curriculum integration. It's was overly expensive. Prometheus was pretty cool when we had the opportunity to use it. Had no idea it was CF though. I didn't touch back when 4.5 was around. We had it pitched to us later. Local University and Education Services Centers all switched from Blackboard to Moodle and never looked back. Blackboard charged something upwards of $40k/year just for the servers. It was redonkulous. Matt -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 10:10 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: (ot) Online Learning Platforms > Funny.

What a waste. I remember Prometheus. I worked with some of the people who built that. Blackboard bought everyone in that space, though. We used to have quite a few customers on WebCT and other LMSs and they were purchased and dismantled one-by-one.
