RE: Automatically Terminating Sessions

[Michael Thomas]

1 thing comes to mind & thats the OnUnLoad event handler in javascript. This 
usually goes into the  tag specified iwthin your HTML pages. You could 
have this setup to open a new window on Unload like you've probably seen a 
thousand sites do. In this case the popup window/page would only contain the 
cf code to kill the session.

If your really slick just have the page contain one line of javascript code 
which would access the close() method of the window object, so that once the 
page popups it will kill the session & the window at the same time. This 
would happen so fast that most users wouldnt even see the window popup in 
the 1st place. Good luck.

Only thing I can say is to perhaps incorporate a default parameter within

At least this would stop the error from happening on those rare occassions

Re: How To Determine Logged In Users

[Michael Thomas]

Indeed encrypting & decrypting your cookies data is the way to go if indeed 
you use cookies for storing sensative information. Creating an algorithm of

Real Life Math Computations....

[Michael Thomas]

There are a couple of built-in functions within Cold Fusion as well as other 
languages like Javascript etc. etc. that Im curious about.

My question is does anyone have any real world experience with any or all of 
the following functions and if so where would I use these:

Abs()
ACos()
ASin()
Atn() (or otherwise referred to as Atan)
Cos()
Log()
Pi()
Sgn()
Sin()
Tan()

Anyone have a real world example of these within a CF App??? And please dont 
assume I have no math background or experience with these topics before 
hand. I just dont have an idea of where I would need any of these in an 
application of any sort.

Sincerely,
Mike T. Lakes

Re: PCodeDocumentNodeImp::validateSelf

[Michael Thomas]

As far as PCode goes, I have ran into my own lil scraps with that. It 
happened within a custom tag that manages my links database. Restarting the 
server (which is 4.5.1) did the trick, but on occasion that ugly error does 
rare its head. I once had this task scheduled but for that very reason it no 
longer is.

Bad Coding Ethic.....

[Michael Thomas]

Ive heard numerous times that it is bad coding ethic to reference a variable 
that has been set multiple times depending on certain conditions, per se in 
the setting of a message. This why they have created SWITCH/CASE. My 
question is if any one can give me an explanation of "why is this bad coding 
ethic???"

Ill illustrate an example below:







...



#message#








...




   Message #1


   Message #2

...


Why is one bad coding ethic & the other not??? They both accomplish the same 
things. I can assume reasons why one is bad & the other is not although my 
assumptions mean nothing in terms of hard facts. BTW Just for the record
in
my own coding I use the SWITCH/CASE expressions.

TIA!!!

Re: Dumb question

[Michael Thomas]

The list is right in using the URLEncodeFormat() function. Furthermore no 
one mentioned the POSIX reference to a space. This doesnt necessarily have 
to be used for anything regarding urls but you can use [[:space:]] to 
reference a space through the use of the REReplace() function.

Re: A book about "debugging applications' ?

I have written 3 full blown tutorials on debugging your cold fusion 
applications. IMHO they cover nearly every aspect of doing so. The only 
drawback here is my site is scheduled to launch on January 1st 2001, so they 
wont be any help to anyone till after that date.

RE: A book about "debugging applications' ?

[Michael Thomas]

I would love to, I intended them to be helpful for the given audiences scope 
& community (Cold fusion programmers). Unfortunately my entire site design 
ties into everything here. We're talking about include files, custom tag 
files, backend database, just to list a small few here. The work it would 
take to clean all this up so that I could put it somewhere else just as 
others have suggested would be more work than what it took just to write the 
tutorials themselves. We're talking 20-30 pages that would need reformatting 
here. At this time Ill just keep them exclusive. Sorry guys.

Sincerely,
Mike T. Lakes

RE: Certification Exam

[Michael Thomas]

Excellent post Simon, I agree with much that you have stated here. 
Especially in the fact that even though you pass the test, it doesnt mean 
that a given person can write efficient code (which is a huge issue). It 
doesnt mean that they can solve real life problems when confronted with 
them.

I have not taken the certification test given by allaire (Personally $150 
outta my pocket isnt too enticing.) but I know that the brainbench test lets 
you use outside materials when testing. Thats a pretty broad scope there, 
you could have a book open with your hand right on the index if you needed 
any quick answers, among other things. Are we testing how fast you can find 
the answer in a book???

With a couple of those things in mind I think you should use the tests as a 
measure of how far your abilities are coming along. In fact the test can be 
a nice confident booster in most cases but then again on the down side can 
be just the opposite for people who dwell on such things.

I think you mentioned something else that wuz important. The ability to read 
& understand the syntax of the code. This indeed is important in itself as 
it does demonstrate your given quick rationale in thinking & knowledge on 
the given subjects at hand but like you said doesnt illustrate that you can 
write good code.

Re: How to grab login info from LDAP

[Michael Thomas]

Yup there sure is. I saw an excellent story from a guy about his experiences 
within cold fusion. One thing he covered wuz performing querys on an LDAP 
server. Ill find the link & reply again to this message with it. Its good 
reading & on top of that its on a geocities site!!! Ive always been a firm 
believer that you dont need to have your own dotcom to get some respect 
within the industry. ^_^

RE: PCodeDocumentNodeImp::validateSelf

[Michael Thomas]

This never actually brought down the entire server but however it did kill 
the usage of that user agent until I restarted the server. This wuz a lil 
bit annoying as it would just come out of no where (even though it wuz few & 
far between.)

Your solution to this sounds interesting, by any chance would you be able to 
pass this servlet along???

RE: Real Life Math Computations....

[Michael Thomas]

Thats a damn awesome script. Between this & all the other posts Ive learned 
a great deal on what I inquired about. You guys did an outstanding job. Once 
again this script is verydetailed & looks great.

You were right when you said entertaining, Ive always been a fan of game 
programming & have wanted one day perhaps code a small game or something 
like that. Do you have a working example of this online that I can play 
with!?!?!? Please Please Please!!! lmao

Once again on a serious note, to everyone that posted, good job guys. If you 
have that game online or avialable to try out Id love to play with it, Post 
Link!!! hehe

Sincerely,
Mike

OT: CF-Talk Undelivered Mail.....

[Michael Thomas]

I just got several messages from the mailer daemon informing of mail being 
undelivered to the list. I got one for every recent post from the last 3 
days. Strangely enough every single post DID go through as expected, some of 
you guys replied to many of them. Did anyone else have the same thing happen 
to them???

OT: CF Web Dev.....

[Michael Thomas]

Sorry for the off topic post. I hope I dont get flamed beyond recognition 
over this but I have a web development site that Ive been working on the 
last 6/7 months that is about to launch January 1st. One of the sections 
covers the Cold Fusion language. I have about 18 CF related 
articles/tutorials all ranging from Beginner to Advanced Levels (Mostly 
beginner, Im working my up the ladder with content).

I wuz wondering if anyone would like to contribute anything to this project, 
doesnt matter how big or small (Everything counts ^_^). I do however have to 
admit before hand that I cannot pay anything for any contributions made. I 
do this project in my free time to contribute something back to the 
community that has given so much to me, just as evryone here does everyday 
in this list. Even though I cant pay anything it doesnt mean that this 
doesnt come without benefits.

If anyone is interested in this opportunity you can contact me directly at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Once again sorry for the off topic post. Thanx in 
advance for all your time.

Sincerely,
Mike

RE: Real Life Math Computations....

[Michael Thomas]

Sorry I cant help but laugh cuz that is damn hilirious!!! I know the 
creatures may get pissed off but I hope you get that breeding thing taken 
care of. ^_^

Once I get done with reformatting my computer at home Im going to install 
another WAP browser as I also do some CF coding with WML for the wireless 
market. Ill have to take a look at it then cuz I dont have one installed 
right at this moment. I do have one question though, why did you develop 
something like that for the wireless community due to the limitations of it 
all???

Still laughing at that breeding/orgy problem,
Mike ^_^

Re: CF-Talk Undelivered Mail.....

[Michael Thomas]

I noticed my post wuz a lil' vague. All of the posts that came back were all 
my own, I didnt want it to seem like it wuz everyones as my last post might 
of suggested. The posts did in fact go through tho so I dont know why they 
came back as undelivered. The mailer daemon was in fact the lists mailer 
daemon & not hotmails which lead me to believe it wuz a list problem, 
although that isnt necessarily true.

CFINCLUDE & Cache.....

[Michael Thomas]

I am wondering if cfinclude files are cached???

For example if I include a nav column within a site via cfinclude it is 
going to be cached for the life of the site here or will it just be the 
processed page that is cached once the cfinclude is processed & sent back to 
the server???

CF functions list.....

[Michael Thomas]

Has anyone ever used the GetFunctionList() function to display all of the 
functions available that the CF Server supports???

I did & it came back with some functions that Ive never seen before. I have 
a list of those functions below:

CF_GETDATASOURCEUSERNAME
CF_ISCOLDFUSIONDATASOURCE
CF_SETDATASOURCEPASSWORD
CF_SETDATASOURCEUSERNAME
CFUSION_DBCONNECTIONS_FLUSH
CFUSION_DECRYPT
CFUSION_DISABLE_DBCONNECTIONS
CFUSION_ENCRYPT
CFUSION_GETODBCDSN
CFUSION_GETODBCINI
CFUSION_SETODBCINI
CFUSION_SETTINGS_REFRESH
CFUSION_VERIFYMAIL

These were all grouped together, as the list is returned in alphabetical 
order. These may not be the only ones that were new to my knowledge. Do 
these work??? hehe

BTW All of the other functions listed were listed the exact same way. All 
uppercase & missing the parenthesis like those above.

Sincerely,
Mike

P.S. After quick glance I found another one below:

Re: CF functions list.....

[Michael Thomas]

Not only are there many hidden cf functions even besides the ones shown 
below & that will be returned by the GetFunctiosnList() but there are tags 
too. As I have found some of these are potentially dangerous.

Re: CF functions list.....

[Michael Thomas]

One I found is  it takes a property of "action". This can be 
used to force or delete the caching of a query. Dont know if anyone else has

Re: CF functions list.....

[Michael Thomas]

The reason they are undocumented is that they are CFServer related used by 
allaire in perfomring administrational tasks & duties. They are not really 
potentially dangerous unless the CFREGISTRY tag is enabled & you have access 
to the host computer in question.

Re: CF functions list.....

[Michael Thomas]

Definantly. There are some functions & tags that are made & could be 
incorporated for exactly what you just described.

RE: A book about "debugging applications' ?

[Michael Thomas]

Sure I can post a heads up on it. In fact the site only goes live on January 
1st, I could in actuality have those pages up before that. Once I get the 
account setup I will post the heads up with links to those articles before 
January 1st.

Re: Weird Error

[Michael Thomas]

Yeah lol

I wuz jus playing around with some stuff one day & ran across this error. I 
happened to think it wuz retty funny when I got it. I wuz creating my 
Complete CSS Generator & had to do some complex variations of cf code & 
forms. Well anyone who has done any CSS before knows the syntax for the 
properties goes a lil something like this:

{background-color: #FF;}

Notice the minus sign (-) in the background color property. I tried using 
the property along with some other methods in the naming of the variables to 
make it more dynamic, ultimately making it easier to code. Well when I ran 
into those properties with the minus sign in them I got the same error you 
just came back with. lol

A variable cannot contain a minus sign within the name like this:



Thats probably how it happened.

Mike

Re: Printing mailing labels in a browser -- Joy... :-O

[Michael Thomas]

Hmm cant say Ive ever had a job like this BUT CSS 2.0 dedicated a good part 
of the spec towards printing. I think its worth a look into at the very 
least. Heres a couple styles to get you started:

Marks:
Orphans:
Page:
Page-Break-After:
Page-Break-Before:
Page-Break-Inside:
Size:
Widows:

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Mike T. Lakes

RE: Use End of Line Char as Delimiter?

M'bad, your right. I wuz referring to my own ASCII chart & overlooked 
CHR(13), also mis-enterpreted a line feed for a tab. Since we're on the 
subject the difference between a line feed & carriage return???

Re: A CF limitation in building a spider?

[Michael Thomas]

Ive noticed one huge limitation that makes CF not a great choice in building 
a spider. CFHTTP doesnt like the use of URL pointers to another domain, like 
http://www.thisdomain.com redirects to http://www.thisotherdomain.com... In 
testing whether a domain is valid or not, an url pointer will be counted as 
a *Dead* Link. CFHTTP will fail for the simple fact that it didnt find a 
site, even if there really is one. The problem also has nothing to do with 
timing out either.

Timing out is also an issue to be concerned with. It seems some sites just 
wont comply with CFHTTP. To bring another matter to attention, have you ever 
seen a page when using RESOLVEURL="yes" that came back with all the links 
intact??? I cant say I have.

Those are just a couple issues ive had to deal with that I thought you might 
want to consider before hand. Good Luck.

Sincerely,
Mike

Re: Netscape 6 woes

[Michael Thomas]

Ill start off by saying Ive never been fond of netscrap. This comes from
being around some die hard netscapers as well. I think in terms of the
future of web development, this might prove to be the best solution. In
years to come we will have 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 etc. etc. browsers & our 4.0
javascript/css wont mean much.

If theres a couple of our scripts that wont work now, so what, at least now
when browsers are starting to conform to standards more, it gives us a
chance to do things the right way, for once. Its about time they started
conforming. A step in the right direction??? I think so.

Sincerely,
Mike

P.S. Happy Thanx Giving to all on the list.

CF History.....

[Michael Thomas]

Within my web development site I have a small page for each section that 
deals with that specific languages history. For example in the HTML section 
there is a page that consists of a couple paragraphs that deal with the 
history of HTML.

I am of the newer genre of Cold Fusion users as Ive only been witness to CF 
4.x. My knowledge of its history is very limited. Is there anyone out there 
that would like to write a couple paragraphs about Cold Fusions history???

Full Credit including links to your own site, email address & a short 
description of whatever you like (Most likely some kind of self- 
advertising). If anyone is interested you can contact me off list at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] TIA for any responses.

Re: CFINCLUDE woes

[Michael Thomas]

At quick glance it looks like you've done everything right to me. Im 
guessing here but do your links look like this:

The page

Instead of the full absolute path from root like this:

This page

Doesnt matter with or without the domain in there. Perhaps your problem lies 
there.

Re: Finding an Odd Number

[Michael Thomas]

Theres 2 methods for doing it.



#count#





#x#




Now just add a condition in there. It makes it easy since you know that you 
only want 6 numbers. You can set up the if/else anyway you like. take a look 
below.

Mike

RE: Kooky Form Field/List question.

[Michael Thomas]

Jeff just brought up a really interesting point about "namespaces" that made 
me think of another important thing, validation!!! In a previous post 
someone mentioned some weird error they got, email titled "Weird Error". If 
you check my reply to that you'll find an instance of how the variable wuz 
named with a minus sign (-) in the name & caused an error. You might want to 
validate against that & other things like spaces. Replace() should do that 
just fine like this:

#Replace(blah,"-","_","ALL")#

so on so forth...

Your definantly going to have to validate against many things. Use a 
namespace like Jeff pointed out as well or you'll run into trouble.

Sincerely,
Mike Lakes

Re: CF admin problem

[Michael Thomas]

Very strange. I have everything setup just about the same way you have it & 
everything works great. I only allow localhost (127.0.0.1) me to see the 
variable output from the debug settings & it works just fine. Im thinking 
maybe it is the re-installs but who knows. Good luck with that one.

IP Logging DB Data Type???

[Michael Thomas]

I have a quick question about IP logging. I want to log an IP address into a 
database but Im not sure which is the correct data type to use. Will Float 
do it or Double Precision???

BTW Im going to have to do this for MS Access & SQL Server 7.0 so I'll need 
the correct data type for each one. Im using MS Access 97 for testing 
purposes but the live database will be an SQL Server 7.0 DB.

TIA,
Mike

CreateUUID Algorythm.....

[Michael Thomas]

Does anyone have any knowledge in how the CreateUUID is generated when using 
the CreateUUID() function. I know its usage & the like. I would like to know 
more about the algorythm that the CF Server uses to generate it. Any answers 
would be a great help.

Re: [parsing shtml files]

[Michael Thomas]

M'bad... I havent been following this thread, Ive only read Larry's last 
post here & Rob's last post. Based on what Im reading here in Larry's post & 
the topic name, Im going to assume your grabbing an shtml page through HTTP 
with a GET method & trying to parse it.

In this case wouldnt the RERePlaceNoCase() function come in handy with some 
RegEx. Wouldnt that do the trick??? Something like changing the SSI include 
tags into CFINCLUDE tags like Larry suggested.

Ill apologize in advance if Im way off here but as I stated before Ive only 
seen the last 2 posts.

Re: [Follow up] Really Dumb question help??

[Michael Thomas]

Ive only ever used that method when posting a form to a processing page & 
having the page throw one of my server-side validation routine errors. When 
an error is encountered I include the original form below my validation 
routines, on the validating page.

To preserve what the user already entered, instead of the values defaulting 
back to normal. When a checkbox is present I use that same checkbox method 
with one exception. Heres the code I use to check to see if the checkbox wuz 
checked or not:







Then I can check the checkbox on the original form page or not depending on 
if the user checked it before the error occured when posting the form. You 
have the rest of my code that I use to do this in my last post.

HTH,
Mike

Re: OT: Who's hacking around ???

[Michael Thomas]

Can you post the code for that ASP file eeyerulez??? Im assuming that page 
is connecting to the exe file by the same name eeyehack.exe. Perhaps its 
grabbing any information posted to your CGI programs & then reporting this 
information back through the ASP page somehow.

If indeed its doing something like that then there has to be some kinda link 
back to them through something. Post code for that ASP file & find out what 
that its really doing in there.

Re: count a value from string

How about looping through the var def as a collection & storing each 
occurence of the words your looking for into an array. Then you can find out 
how many times it occured using the ArrayLen() function.

Maybe a better way would be to use findnocase & then count how many times

Re: Web cam and CFHTTP problem

[Michael Thomas]

You could throw it inside an , Inline frame. They are treated as 
part of the HTML flow but you can additionally use CSS styles to position & 
control all aspects of how they are rendered.

Contrary to what some people said on this list a while back IFRAME's are 
supported by netscape 6. They are also supported by IE 4.0+ & are part of 
the W3C HTML 4.0.1 spec. Basically they or ILAYER's are supported by any 
browser that can render CSS 1.0 styles.

Im not sure if you'd want to put these in an ILAYER due to the dimensions 
your talking about but you can nest an IFRAME inside of an ILAYER with the 
same exact values to pull off a cross browser effect that will work for all 
browsers. Basically the use of this can best be explained like this: If they 
support ILAYER's (Netscape 4.7 down) then they dont support IFRAME's & the 
IFRAME will be ignored. If they dont support ILAYER's (anything besides 
netscape 4.7 down) then they do support IFRAME's & the ILAYER tags will be 
ignored.

Heres the syntax:



You dont support IFRAME's or ILAYER's. Upgrade your browser.



To use either one of them try the code below:

http://10.10.10.8/view/view.shtml
paramskip=yes&conf_Layout_BGColorEnabled=y" STYLE="position:absolute; 
top:140; left:50; border:thin outset #00;">

http://10.10.10.8/view/view.shtml
paramskip=yes&conf_Layout_BGColorEnabled=y" STYLE="position:absolute; 
top:140; left:50; border:thin outset #00;">

Those are just a couple attributes & styles to get you started. There are 
many many different ways to render & control the way they are presented. Try 
playing with them, perhaps they are your answer.

Sincerely,
Mike T. Lakes

Assembler.....

[Michael Thomas]

Lately I wuz thinking of picking up an extra language to add to my long list 
of the ones I currently know ;) As most people know you can develop custom 
COM, CORBA, CFX & other types of add-ons using alot of different languages 
like C++, VB, Java etc. etc.

What I am wondering is if anyone out there knows if I can create COM or CFX 
extensions through assembly/assembler language. I know its a pretty old 
language but its also pretty efficient. If anyone has anything to comment 
about this, please do ;) I will be one extremely greatful person.

TIA,
Mike

Just remembered....

[Michael Thomas]

I just remembered I had some troublesome code from a small lil' thing I wuz 
making while bored one night about 2 months ago. I had forgotten all about 
this page till I just found it ;). I called the code dynamicxygen.cfm & 
planned to use it as an include. Basically what it does is this:

It'll dynamically create links to each directory from the current template 
path, all the way down to root. If you included it on every page you would 
have a very easy way of creating links around the site, even tho the code is 
a bit clunky. It would look like this one a page:


Path: C:\r00t\main\newdir\currentdir\blah.cfm



main/newdir/currentdir/blah.cfm
main/newdir/currentdir/blah.cfm all linked back to the correct files.


The code works great when creating links to docs in root & 2nd level 
directories but when it goes deeper than that it doesnt return anything but 
an empty array. I cant understand why, altho I do have to admit I havent 
looked at the code in a long while.

Can anyone help me find out why this isnt working 3 or more directories deep 
when it works fine any level before that??? Ill post the code below:






  
  

  

  
  




  

  /http://127.0.0.1/">Home/#Reverse(newlink)#

  /#Reverse(newlink)#





  Array is empty

  Array is all good.

RE: Assembler.....

[Michael Thomas]

Thanx for the response, I wuz almost going to bet that no one would reply to 
this one ;) Assembler is a pretty old language & its too bad that you 
recommend not using it for extending CF. Nonetheless it seems like an 
interesting language to learn, so Ill definantly study up on it a bit. I'll 
just have to look to other languages, like C++, to extend my apps. Thanx 
again.

Re: Sending e-mail in a batch

[Michael Thomas]

Has anyone ever heard of SMTP Express??? If you did a search on those words 
you can find the web site where its at, sorry cant remember the URL.

Basically its an add-on to an existing mail server, not a replacement to 
one. Its essentially made just for Bulk mail purposes. It queues up all 
messages to go out & can send out 1,000 (or more) mesages a second. The 
secret to how this is done, is that it puts all the stress of sending out 
the emails on that domains web server. To be even more clearer Ill use an 
example:

If you have emails going out to hotmail.com, houseoffusion.com, yahoo.com & 
microsoft.com its going to send the emails to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] through hotmails SMTP server, its going to 
send the emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] through 
houseoffusions SMTP server, so on & so forth.

It also comes with a custom COM object that is made especially for SMTP 
Express, that has example CFML code documented with it. Unlike most mail 
servers you cant really determine if the mail wuz sent successfully or not. 
With this product & the COM object you can!!!

I am in no way affiliated with this product but I thought it wuz definantly 
worth the exposure for this topic.

Sincerely,
Mike

"if/else" CFSCRIPT...

[Michael Thomas]

Can anyone show me a working example of an if/else statement in cfscript??? 
I do understand its just like working with javascript, however my use for it 
is a lil' bit trickier as it involves RegEx.

The most Ive done with CFSCRIPT before is just setting variables.

Re: Rather OT: virus question (Snow White)

[Michael Thomas]

Hmmm I wuz going to mention the fact that some of these viruses out there 
obtained through email attachments have the ability to send themselves out 
to everyone in someones address book once contracted.

I dont have any experience or knowledge of this snow white virus but perhaps 
it might be one to do that, Which in your case you'd have to consider the 
possibility of someone who has contracted the virus, having you in their 
personal address book.

Watts/Forta XHTML & CF form variables....

[Michael Thomas]

Not sure if any of you have any experience with XHTML or not but I have a 
question that concerns XHTML & CF Form variables. For those of you that have 
never heard of XHTML it has picked up where HTML 4.01 left off, Currently 
its in version 1.1.

If you don't know, XHTML has elminated the "NAME" attribute in HTML tags & 
its replaced by the "ID" attribute. So your basic form elements thats used 
to look like this:



now look like this:



My question is, does this present a problem in referencing your form 
variables in CF now??? Like in my example above can you now still reference 
the variable below when the "name" attribute is now replaced by the "id" 
attribute??? (Note: obviously I havent tried the above example yet)

#Form.blah#

If this is a problem now, would/should this be a concern later in future 
releases/versions of Cold Fusion???

I've been working with XHTML as a frontend for the last 6 months now & have 
still been referencing my form elements with the name attribute although its 
been disregarded by XHTML. Instead ive been using the "id" & "name" 
attributes together & havent had a problem yet, even though Ive been using 
the strict DTD.

In the future this is probably not wise for me to do but it works for now. 
Im guessing thats just in the fact of browser implementations & support. 
XHTML 1.0 is basically just well formed HTML but XHTML 1.1 is a whole nother 
story, much much stricter. I know that the use of XHTML isnt as wide spread 
as one my want right now & that the use of XHTML 1.1 with support in the 
various browsers is far off in the future but this could still present a 
problem.

Thanx for any help,
Mike

RE: Watts/Forta XHTML & CF form variables....

[Michael Thomas]

My point exactly... perhaps this question is better pointed more towards 
XForms. I havent paid particular attention to the progress of XForms over at 
the W3C. Maybe the old style of forms will be deprecated for use with XHTML 
in favor of XForms. In that case maybe this wont be an issue.

RE: Inserting line breaks

[Michael Thomas]

Not sure if you ever solved this problem or not but Ive done similar types 
of apps that involve forcing line breaks into formatted form results from 
textarea's. Ill grab a snippet or 2.





", "All")>

" & chr(13) & "" & chr(13) & 
"" & chr(13),"","All")>



There #code# would be the value from the textarea. As Dylan Bromby suggests 
in this last email message by him, you will want to use virtual wrap 
"".

Note that this only adds the appropriate line breaks to a message that is 
going to be inserted into a database. For email messages you probably wont 
be able to use this technique but something similar might work. Hopefully 
this lil' code snippet will get you on the right track.

Mike

Re: Alternative or Workaround to IsDefined

[Michael Thomas]

I guess you could just encode & escape the strings yourself. As you can see 
you cannot use ' as part of a variable name nor can you use -, % etc. etc.

This might be a lil' bit time consuming but you can do something like this:



That would intially take care of the ' in the variable name & replace it 
with _1. Then if you ever needed to replace the _1 back into a ', just 
change the code on below inside the processing page. Now you could go on a 
numbering scheme here for every invalid character so ! = _1, @ = _2, # = _3 
so on & so forth.

Mike

Re: Is this even possible?

[Michael Thomas]

I'd say easily enough if you started this project from scratch. Lets say all 
your items fall into certain categories like:

Stereos
Lawn & Garden equipment
Sports equipment
Antiques
Etc.
Etc.

Now lets say you have shortened the names down & added a column within your 
database that holds the value of the categorie that the product falls under. 
The values in that field would look like this:

electronics
antiques
lawn
furniture
etc.
etc.

Ok now lets say you have an images directory that contains a folder for each 
one of those values with the same name. So your images directory contains 
one folder for each categorie value.

Add one more additional field to your database that holds the 
items/inventory image name with the extension. Now the values for that new 
field should look like this:

chair0001.jpg
stereo635.gif
etc.
etc.

In your query for a particular item include the the path (which would be the 
categorie name) & the image file as dynamic variables generated from your 
query & display the image inside an image tag like this:


SELECT Blah, Bleah
FROM Blah






That would do it for you. Ive incorporated something like this into a 
shopping cart before, works like a charm.

Mike

Re: cfcatch.tagcontext

The tag stack is as follows:

That should do it for you, run this inside the  tags .
When an exeption is caught it'll work.

Re: TextArea for IE vs Netscape

[Michael Thomas]

Hmmm I hadnt thought of that one & thats most likely. I just ran into this 
problem again very recently too, so its fresh in my head. I was using a 
stand alone button with an onclick event, so it never occured to me that I 
needed the form element wrapped around it. Looked in netscape, boom was 
right on top of it when it didnt show up. Netscape is strict like that ;)

That could very well be his problem.

RE: The +.htr bug strikes again

[Michael Thomas]

Alright everyone & their mother know of the .htr bug, furthermore half of 
those people know how to exploit it. What I dont know & would like to know 
is what is the .htr extension used for (besides rippin peoples source 
code)???

It obviously has a purpose for something, otherwise it wouldnt be a mapping, 
so once again what is it used for???
