Re: (OT) Best windows subversion server
Another vote for Unfuddle here. I was going to recommend it, but I was beaten to the punch. Works great, nice ticketing, bug tracking, notes, etc features as well. It's not expensive either. Also, given that it's hosted, you have offsite backups. Used in conjunction with TortoiseSVN, it makes for a nice, smooth system.

Re: CF, IE6 & Ext JS Oh My!

Actually, Ext.isReady doesn't have anything to do with whether or not your
components are rendered or not. It is a boolean property not to be confused
with the on.Ready event. ExtJS has very granular and specific event triggers,
so using setTimeout and reading Ext.isReady isn't the most elegant solution.
If you want to start interacting with ExtJS directly, I suggest you download
and install the latest version (3.0.x) who's syntax has changed somewhat from
v1.x. It's also the version that ships with CF9.
You'll find you'll be doing a lot more event-driven programming (e.g. on.Render
do this).
Lastly, keep in mind that the IE6 Javascript engine is orders of magnitude
slower than what you have in contemporary browsers, so some of the flickering
and jumping around you see when ExtJS is doing its layouts may be unavoidable.
To help you get started, you can view a presentation I did at CFinNC a few
weeks ago titled: "Building RIAs Using ExtJS 3 and ColdFusion"
http://www.slideshare.net/paulcormier/building-rias-using-extjs-3-and-coldfusion
Once you get over the initial (moderately steep) learning curve, you'll find
using the Ext widgets directly rather than the CF Tags to be quite flexible.

Re: javascript and coldfusion
I concur with Judah's comments on Ext JS and JQuery. ExtJS for largish web apps, JQuery for enhancing a site. I've just posted a presentation I made last weekend titled "Building RIAs using ExtJS 3 and ColdFusion" which you may find useful. http://www.slideshare.net/paulcormier/building-rias-using-extjs-3-and-coldfusion Paul Cormier WinCorp Software, Inc. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Coldfusion Encrypt and Insert quotation mark issue
A couple of issues. Firstly, CFMX 7 introduced the "encoding" attribute to the encrypt function. For example, if you use "hex" encoding, then the string returned will always be made up of 0-9A-F. Secondly, the default CFMX_COMPAT algorithm you are using (by default) isn't all that secure. I suggest using a stronger algorithm. Lastly, if your systems get compromised to the point where encrypted passwords in your database are obtained, it's likely that your .cfm source file can also be accessed, which is where your encryption "key" is visible as plain text, thus allowing for quick and easy decryption of all the stored passwords. (BTW 0 isn't a very good key. It's not even a string. CF will interpet that as '0'.) One way to avoid this source file vulnerability is to use the password itself as the key and storing the resulting value. Then when testing a submitted password, simply repeat encrypting the provided password using itself as the key and "compare()" the resulting string stored in the database. The biggest problem with this system is that you can't retrieve a forgotten password, you can only reset it, but at least your passwords will be much more secure. Also, I'm assuming that your passwords aren't trying to protect information that's stored unencrypted in other database fields. If the encrypted password field is compromised, then you should assume that any database field can be compromised.

Re: Can't get 301 permanent redirect to work properly
>Here's my actual page: http://www.wildasia.net/rt/ OK, I believe one of two things may be happening: 1. Is there a web proxy somewhere in the chain? If possible, try it again from a web browser right on the server. 2. Your IIS install/ColdFusion connector is hosed. Not only do I get a 302 redirect from your link, but the page it redirects to, main.cfm doesn't render in the browser, instead I get prompted to download the source file (which it does, yikes!).

CFLAYOUTAREA - Attaching an ONRESIZE event
Any ideas? I need to run some Javascript whenever the "center" cflayoutarea's size changes. This might be from: a) The browser window being resized b) An adjoining splitter is moved c) An adjoining sliding panel is collapsed It seems I should be able to attach an event to that center DIV. The window.resize event appears to fire only before the cflayout DIVs are redrawn, and not after, which is no help at all.

Re: Zip Code Locator
ZipCodes aren't geographic areas, they are postal service delivery routes. Some of them have really wacky layouts and boundaries. In some places, a building has it's own zipcode. I also recommend you geocode each address, then do the distance math between lat-lons. Google it and you'll find several formulas. There are several address geocoders to use on the cheap, but you get what you pay for (daily limits, unresolved addresses, etc.) If you have some budget, check out www.proxix.com.

Digest Authentication woes
Does anyone have any success stories performing CF Server to remote HTTP Server Digest Authentication? I know it's not natively supported by the tag. I also know the server I'm trying to connect to works and that I have proper credentials, as I can connect using a web browser. I even recorded all the communications exchanged during that session using FireFox's "Live Headers" & "Modify Headers" add-on and duplicated the exchange exactly with & s, but I keep getting "401 Bad Request. Response did not match." I was pretty careful duplicating the exchange as described in RFC 2617 "HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication" I couldn't get the CFX_HTTP5 custom tag to work either even though it does support Digest Authentication natively.
