Don, You do it using ajax (referred to as 'auto-suggest'). There many different ways on how you can do it. One implementation is by using CF with jQuery. Check-out the following: http://www.dyve.net/jquery/?autocomplete http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/ Most auto-suggest is done by simply looking up a corresponding field lookup to a database field record. But you can get real fancy with the query depending on what you need. Example: when you type in: Harrison Ford- it'll return the titles of his movies- that kind of thing.

RE: Sever-side data validation with ajax
Don, As Kevin eluded to, building a rock-solid server side validation should always be the first step. I typically reserve ajax/js validation as input helpers for just enhancing the form's data entry user experience- such as autosuggest, auto-fill drop downs, etc. (I always think that the user may turn off javascript half way through the form filling process.) As for displaying the error message, I add a span element next to a label element, and put the input box just below it. For errors, I just display the span, then dump the on message on it.

To use this method, you should learn about FlashVars so that you can pass your encrypted token to Flash. Your token can be any number of things, but I would suggest a combination of a Unique ID( uuid() ), some other random characters and the actual id of the 'ticket'. Flash decrypts it, verifies that it's legitimate, than re-codes it along with the requested file and sends it to the server-side. The server-side receives the request and validates the token, than processes the request and returns the file.

I knew getting into AHP that it was a just micro-operation, so I wont claim ignorance on the known risk on such type of small biz even at the time I engaged with Greg's company. Collectively, if we monetize the loss of time, productivity, and revenue wasted during this incident, it would total up to be quite a significant amount. We all know that Greg has already lost (and probably will loose more) customers because of this. And his customers including myself, has lost customers as well. On day 1, I was demo-ing my sites to a potential client, but to my embarrassment, none worked. I certainly hope (expect?) that Parallels/SWS admit to some accountability/responsibility to this. And with such responsibility, comes some sort of gesture to repair relationships: monetary or otherwise to AHP, which then gets passed on to AHP customers.

What did you mean with that remark. Not a lot of help now, but next time you'll make sure systems send you nightlies, yes ? :-) I'd assume Nightly Backups. For example I've got a Virtual PC Server running here at home with duplicates (my Disaster Recovery servers) of my production ColdFusion and database servers. I use a SQL Server DTS (Data Transformation Services) package scheduled to run every night at 3am which copies all data from the production database to the DR database. I don't actually do any backups for the CF server (since I only update it from a development virtual server so it's always backed up) but you could easily script an FTP to copy any important files. Of course there are easy to use automated tools as well. You can also, of course, run an actual backup program in difference mode which saves to a remote location - the initial backup would take a while (even over broadband) but the nightly differences should be small. More sensitive data might require quicker backups (hourly or even live) but that of course consumes more resources as well. Most databases have methods for subscribing to data todo close-to-live backups (using log shipping - which sends updates to one database's log files to another from minute to minute is popular). The bottom line is that you have your data (or at least the vast majority of it) when things like this happen. There are plenty of cheap or free options for all this stuff but it does take some resources (time and sometimes equipment) but every pain will be forgotten then first time that backup saves your hide. ;^) Jim Davis ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299760 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

RE: File disappears after cffile rename
@ Paul, Rick, and Brad: Thanks a bunch for your comments, ideas, suggestions. The reason why I had the cflock was because directly after the cffile rename, was a cfexecute for ffmpeg. Without the lock, it seemed that ffmpeg begins to execute even before the actual file rename on the file system completes. Ffmpeg then throws an error because it does not allow file names with spaces. You're talking milliseconds of overlap here- unsure if its caused by the server OS latency but as far as CF goes, I think it thinks has completed rename. It doesn't seem to happen all the time, but I did see it happen. The lock just seemed to prevent that from happening. -Original Message- From: Michael E.

RE: File disappears after cffile rename
Claude, I am sure you (et al) are right on the use(lessness) of locks in this case. As I said, I used it with uncertainty thinking (hoping?) that it was preventing an overlapping of execution between the file rename and cfexecute. In other blog threads, I found quite a number of posts about cffile and ffmpeg, and how both can co-exists but don't really sync well together. Circling back to the original cffile renaming-disappearing issue, at least that is resolved. -Original Message- From: Claude Schneegans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 3:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: File disappears after cffile rename The lock just seemed to prevent that from happening. If it did, it cannot be for any logical reason. The purpose of named locks is to ensure that a program cannot lock under the name, if another lock with the same name is already active. Using CreateUUID() to create a unique name, you just make sure that no other program, not even another instance of the same template, will never try to compete this lock. So your lock is completely useless. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Creating replicated sites with coldfusion
This sounds like a good Idea... what would be the proper syntax to use to get the username field if I went with a wildcard variable? I don't have a lot of experience with CGI variables, which seems to be what I will need to do this. You can treat the CGI scope just like any other struct... just cfdump it to see what's in it. For this you can use CGI.HTTP_HOST . You can then evaluate the returned var and treat it as a list delimited by a dot (.). Get the listlen. If it has 3 elements, the first one should be your wildcard value, which you can capture, create a query, then cflocate to the appropriate site.

Hiya,
I've got a problem selecting data from a table and I was wondering if
anyone could help.
Code so far:
cfquery name=eventlist1
SELECT * FROM EVENTS
WHERE PERMISSIONS IN ('#session.status#')
ORDER BY EVENT_DATE, EVENT_START ASC
/cfquery
This works fine where field permissions = 1 but when permissions = 1,2,x,x
and so on the query fails. Basically - how can I loop through the comma
delimeted values in the permissions variable and compare them each against
#session.status# until a match is found.
Thanks so much,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way too or if it's possible with the
new
Ajax features in CF8 to fade all images except the one that is selected.
Here's what mean.
I have a loop of images outputting. All the image I need to display
initially with a opacity of 100% but when the user mouse's over one of the
images I need all other images to fade to 80 or 90%.
I've found several ways to fade the selected image but I can't figure out
any way of fading the images that are not selected.
It has to be CF and not Flex.
Thanks

RE: New developer vs. Veteran developer
Ken, also consider the complexity of the first projects you'd like your developer to do. If it is fairly low to medium complexity, then his/her learning curve could be right along with the development timeline. I have seen CF developers 'grow' into their first apps with pretty good results. CF afterall, is quite easy to learn if the learner quite motivated and creative. Of course if you have a pretty complex app, with little to spare on the sched, then you know the answer to that. I think there is a 3 year threshold to any developer's experience. This means after the third year, you can all view them in equal footing. Since web technology changes in a very fast pace, whoever keeps up with present technology wins. Take Ajax, as an example. Today, a developer with 3 years exp maybe more adept to it than the one with 8 because he/she might've jumped on it first... you get the picture. Hope I've given you a bit of perspective Ken.

CFFormProtect vs. Captcha
Hello all, I have been searching for a captcha alternative that will identify non-human form entries. I would like to know what you think about Jacob Munson's CFFormProtect. Also, I anyone knows of other effective methods to identify non-human activities, that you can share, that'll be great. Again, I am already aware of the captcha tags and cfcs available- however, what I am looking for are the captcha alternative methods. Thank you in advance.

RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?
I gotta be wondering at this point - why bother with client-side at all if I'm finding close to 35% of my specific users have javascript off? This definitely drives the same point in which many have continuously repeated many posts ago. Know your audience. Javascript is the UI eye-candy. If majority of your audience is in a prohibitive environment where rich UI can not be served effectively, then you may not even need to use JS or AJAX. Obviously, if your js on your app benefits 95+% of you audience, add a few hours and a few lines of code time to implement js. -Original Message- From: Les Mizzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 2:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?

RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?
Wow, this thread kept going like the energizer bunny. @Rick, on your next projects, first, try building your form, its processing page, and your server-side validation in pure CF. Once that is done, separately slap in your JS bells and whistles, including your client-side validation, and your *ajax form helpers*, second. You'd be amazed on just how much this approach will address most of the issues talked about in this thread. After doing this approach for awhile, you'd learn how to be efficient and won't be too much of a hassle at all. Keep in mind that you should be leveraging the CF and JS for why you use them in the first place- that is, CF for server side data integrity mgt, and JS/ajax for the richer UI. Even on a javascript disabled client, you may loose the richer UI, but still not compromise the data integrity and control you have on the server side. @Claude, Dan S., Paul V.: I definitely agree with your points. Finally, here is an example of a poorly executed Javascript Required site. https://www.smithbarney.com/app-bin/homepage/servlets/HomepageServlet On Firefox or IE, simply view the page on enabled and disabled JS. Its developers simply neglected to detect JS on the client's browser, it does not even provide the necessary instructions to remedy the login form and display problem.

RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?
Rick, I agree with Dan and Zaphod's comments. I personally use both client and server side validation, at a minimum spec for my apps, even if I require that javascript be turned on. Think of it this way- jQuery (or any client side library for that matter) can not replace the kind of data integrity enforcement you can do with CF. jQuery is great for the form UI and other tasks like data entry formatting/data masking. CF, however, is where I do the data logic and rule heavy-lifting. I prefer that it is CF that 'monitors' any data to be written on the db. Again, I do this even if I require javascript be on, at minimum. If anyone has any comments in this approach, I'm all ears. Michael -Original Message- From: Dan G.

RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?
Rick, Do you use Ajax to pass data from the form to CF for validation, then return the results to the form page? 95+% of the time, No, I personally do not use Ajax as part of my form validation. When I build an app, I typically create the form, the form submission action logic, and the server-side validation at the early stages of the development. Once I get that nailed down, then I add the form user interface, client side validation, and all other window dressing elements. So as you can see, the server side and the client side validation works independently (obviously it is redundant, but I am OK with that). This is my personal coding style in which it is reflective of how I learned as a developer- being CF first, then JS later. Now as far as Ajax- I still use ajax only as an enhancement to the user experience; as in: auto-populating dropdown selects values, sortables and draggables etc. Perhaps, only time will tell when I will be comfortable enough to start depending on ajax for form validation more frequently.

RE: GotCFM.Com is Launched - Dedicated to CF Evangelism
Hi Rey, Awesome idea... and you know, like everyone who's responded, I will support your efforts in this regard. I recall, when I used to be in my corporate position, how using CF and doing a sales job for Adobe/Macromedia/Allaire seems to go hand in hand. It was fun at first, but quickly became frustrating as it grew old. I take to heart your bullets: # Information on how to position CF within your company # Information on specific features that make CF better than other technologies # Case studies on successful implementations of CF Thinking-out-loud, do I wish I can get an asp.net, a php, a ruby-on-rails, a jsp, and a perl- developers in one room, all with competent and with similar experience in their preferred language, and see who turns out the best code, the quickest... ala Iron Chef. Seriously though, in a corporate setting, its all about developer productivity, ROI, and total cost of ownership. If we can cook-up something that arm us with addressing that (hint: calculators like an ROI.cfc or something... anyone?), we are all good. Again, great idea, Rey, and thank you for kicking off this effort!!

And while I still think that a lot of work needs to be done, I came to the realization that I also needed to do more than just post gripes. I recently read this post on Ray Camden's blog: http://ray.camdenfamily.com/index.cfm/2007/2/22/Help-spread-the-word-at- the-Peoples-Toolbox The quote that struck me was: apparently they had never heard of it, and I'm having a bit of trouble convincing them that a) lots of people use ColdFusion and b) that it is indeed worth adding to their site It hit me how bad of a job *all* of us have done in keeping ColdFusion in the limelight. ColdFusion and CFML just celebrated its 10th year and here's some new, unknown site questioning CF's worthiness. I was floored. So I decided to use a domain that I've had sitting around for some time as a vehicle for CF-related evangelism. http://www.gotcfm.com/ I am looking at GotCFM.com as a VERY niche site that's whole focus is to have information to help promote CF-related technologies. It won't allow people to search for the best way to create a CFC or which custom tag is available for zip code locations. There are plenty of top-notch sites for that. I want to build a place where anyone can go to find specific information such as: - A continuously updated list of sites using CF - Information on how to position CF within your company - Information on specific features that make CF better than other technologies - Case studies on successful implementations of CF - Powered by buttons - Banner ads that can be added to your site to promote your favorite CF engine Some of you may say, Well, Ben Forta already keeps a list of sites using CF, and that's certainly true. Ben has done a great job over the years of trying to get a nice list of sites. But, by no fault of Ben, its not all encompassing, its not up-to-date and it doesn't appear to include sites built using other technologies like Ralio, Coral or BlueDragon. We don't just need a list of Adobe ColdFusion powered sites. We need a list of ALL *CFML* powered sites. And we need a method of allowing people to submit these sites themselves. I hope to flush it out further, especially if I can get community support. I hope that this type of site, dedicated solely to methods of bi-partisan CF evangelism, will help spread the word about CFML. I've already received support from New Atlanta and hope to soon get the support of Adobe, Ralio and the whole CF-Community. Your feedback is welcome and your involvement would definitely be appreciated. You can start by submitting sites that powered by *ANY* CFML engine. That would be a great first step. If you have other ideas for the site, please let me know. Thanks, Rey Bango... ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: CF+jQuery Click Drag Sorting Demo
Thanks Rey. Will do... I'm sure that anyone can cut the sample code down by as much as 30%. As you said, it is quite easy especially when developing a new app. However, for most CF developers, the challenge has been the 'makeover' of legacy apps with the latest JS libraries- specifically: modernizing the UI and incorporating ajax. jQuery, by far, is the easiest to implement into existing CF code.

RE: How to re-order items?
Hi there Rick, This solution is similar to Bobby's, but with a CF+jQuery twist. First, when a new realtor is added to a list, the assigned seniority sort order number will be the maximum number. Example, if there are 9 realtors, the new/added realtor will have sort order number (seniority_id) 10. Next, you can use jQuery's Interface Draggable and Sortable plugin http://interface.eyecon.ro/docs/sort to reorder the list. The user then drags the 10th realtor (the added guy) to the 2nd position (new seniority). Once saved, the submitted form will post a serialized list of realtor_id numbers in the desired sort order. You can then loop through the list and update the seniority_id of all realtors using the realtor_id as your index. The demo is at: http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos and select Sortable list. This is a very scalable solution. Hope that helps, Rick. Michael -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 10:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: How to re-order items? Hi, all. I'm trying to figure out the best approach to ordering the display of Real Estate agents on a website. I have it by last name currently, but my client wants to re-order by Seniority. So, I figured I'd just put a field in the database called Display_Order and then the person who manages the site could provide a number for each person. e.g. 1 on top, 2 next, etc. The problem would come when an agent gets added to the list who would be between 1 and 2. (I don't want to use decimals). I can instruct the manager of the site to put 10 for the top spot, then 20 for the second, etc. That leaves room for additional spots to be added between 10 and 20. However, I'm looking for a long-term solution. Would it be a good approach to have them initially number the agents starting with 10, then 20, and have them say, use 15 if someone needed to between 10 and 20, but code the site so that all number are rounded up to increments of 10 upon entry into the database? 10 stays 10, but 15 becomes 20, 20 becomes 30, etc. Is that a good solution? What other solutions have any of you used for this? Thanks for the insight. Rick (Remember.

RE: How to re-order items?
Hi Rick,
Based on the js below, you can simple create a ul like
ul
cfloop query=get_realtor_by_seniority
li class=sortableitem
id=sortrealtor#realtor_id##realtor_name#/li
/cfloop
/ul
I did not test the above, but the html would be along those lines.

MX7+jQuery today versus the future in Scorpio (?)
Hello Folks, This has been at the back of my mind for some time now. Currently, I am investing a bit of time ajax-ifying my CF apps with (the awesome) jQuery library. Now that Scorpio is just around the corner, I am wondering if it (Scorpio) will come with some sort of native support to ajax. If so, I would only assume Adobe to integrate or have some built-in implementation of its own Spry into Scorpio. And if it is, I am just hoping to know to what extent is its implementation, so I know how it may or may not affect me on what I am doing today. I don't want anyone to break any NDAs, but merely trying to find guidance, comments, or suggestions. Much appreciated everyone.

RE: OT: CF Developer Partnerships
Hi Rick, here's my 2 cents. I always close every project with a handshake on one hand, and a CD copy of the source code on the other, with closing note that in essence I say, 'should anything happens to me, ANY competent CF Developer they choose can pickup where I left off'. Whether or not you have entered into partnerships with other developers, its always good to give them a recommended developers list. As for having my wife benefit after I pass, well, I'll leave that part to my life insurance. My primary concern is more of her indemnification from the business when I'm no longer around. The unthinkable happens even from the most successful of businesses. I think it is more prudent to assure your customers/clients that they can stand on their own, even if your business dissolves. Michael -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 1:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: CF Developer Partnerships Sounds reasonable... have you ever thought about having your friends, who are basically being given the company you built, provide a percentage payment of business profit from your clients back to your survivors? I'd hate for the business that I've built not to benefit my wife after I'm gone. It does complicate the situation, however, and might deter some from entering into such a partnership. I guess it would be like selling the business, but, instead of selling for a one-time amount, all business profits from my company's work (basically site/app hosting) would be split between my survivors and the handling company, until my clients decided not to continue using the sites or apps. There are as many ways to do this as there are to build a CF app...

RE: Client asked me: Why you use coldfusion?
I think there are more than enough written resources available out there that compares CF against PHP, ASP etc... as Josh pointed one out directly from Adobe. Most of which however, are written to convince developers on what platform to develop on. At one point or another, we've all been asked by prospective clients the same question Ali was asked... Why should I go with you, cf guy, and not the php guy? Is there anything Adobe is doing to make the selling of CF directly to the guy who'll write the check?

RE: Open a Web Page
Chris,
As Charlie suggested, window.open() will definitely do the job. However,
keep in mind that the client's browser's pop-up blocker may kick in.
Another suggestion would be to display your results in an in-line div
element. This would involve using a Javascript library like jQuery. I've
written a simple quickstart guide that is quite similar to the .cfc to .cfm
scenario you described, but only displays the results on a div from the
calling page.
The guide is at:
