RE: cfm-resources?
I have been having problems with them with my free account, and a friend of mine that has a pay account with them can not get a hold of them either, no matter how many emails Robert J. Bailey (646) 526-4536 -Original Message- From: Kay Smoljak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 10:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfm-resources? Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with free accounts at cfm-resources.com? First my password stopped working, and when I got no response to repeated emails, I gave up and signed up for another account. (Incidently, after a number of errors were thrown in the registration scripts, I ended up with three accounts but that's a different story.) Attempts to FTP in are successful after on average three or four timeouts. Everytime I do actually manage to connect, it timeouts before I can upload any files. The site itself takes ages to load and then I get server errors. The cfm-resources control panel is not even up. Now, before you tell me that you get what you pay for, I totally agree. I'm developing a site for a non-profit organisation with next to zero funding, which promotes science and technology career paths for high school students, girls in particular. The aim is to create a site that they can update and maintain themselves, thereby requiring no more funding for web work. My plan being, if I can get the site running on the free hosting service, and they see how great and easy it is and maybe interest some benefactors, I will get them to move to one of the low cost hosting services. Hell, I was even planning to pay for some of it myself. I'm not expecting great reliability or speed out of a free service. But at the moment *I* can't even view the site, and it's been like that all week. What I would like to know is, what is the reliability like on their paid accounts? I'd be reluctant to risk them after my experiences with the free service. What are the other low cost hosting services out there like? Sorry to bitch but this is driving me insane!

RE: CF and custom stylesheets
I have done this by replacing the style.css with a variable. I grabbed what the users preferences was via a cookie or the database, and then used that to decide what style sheet to include. Robert J. Bailey (646) 526-4536 -Original Message- From: Scott Weikert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 1:27 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF and custom stylesheets Hey gang... I've kinda got this working, but would prefer to improve it a bit. I'm trying to modify an existing app, that uses stylesheets, to allow for customization of the colorsets... so that User #1 can choose the blue set, User #2 the green set, etc. Each set has a hex color code for each of the styles used, stored in the DB... so basically, user logs in, tap the DB for the colorcodes, make session vars out of each, reference said vars when executing the style code, voila - purdy colors. :) I can do this easily enough if I just include the style page (as a .cfm file) - but what I'd *really* like to do is be able to link to the stylesheet page, so that the styles themselves don't show up in the source, i.e. LINK REL=StyleSheet TYPE=text/css HREF=style.cfm I've had some hassles trying to link the page like this... it doesn't seem to properly execute the CF code within. Anyone out there tried to do this same thing, and succeeded? Input would be most welcome. Thanks in advance- --Scott ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

oh! oh!
I know the answer to this one!
:)
I did this already..hang on lemme get the code here..
ok! Go to www.opentelecom.com and click Send E page.
and do a View Source on that page
^_^
Its all there.
But just in case the site is down or somethign here is the relevant code:
function OpenPage()
{
window.open('sendpage.cfm?name='+ document.selectcustomer.name.value +
'message=' + document.selectcustomer.message.value + 'email='
+document.selectcustomer.email.value,'paging','scrollbars=auto,menu=no,heigh
t=80,width=600')
}
//--
/script
And here is the form:
FORM name=selectcustomer method=POST OnSubmit=OpenPage()
input type=text name=name
input type=text name=message size=32
input type=text name=email
input type=submitvalue=Submit name=B1
input type=reset value=Reset
/FORM
Took me a morning to hunt down and debug the syntax on this one :)
But it looks rather nice.

Can I run CFML code that I pull form my database?
OK, here is what I am doing. I am executing a stored procedure which grabs some code from my SQL server and then displays it on the page. Mostly what this is for is my forms, which I would like to keep in the DB so I can easily change them. The problem being that the CFFORM tag as well as my CFINPUT tags do not execute when doing this and it displays the tag CFFORM etc in the browser. I am not good at explaining things so if I did not do a good enough job trying to ask this question, please let me know. Thanks for all that will have a solution that I can implement. Robert J.

RE: Pinging an email address
you can not ping an email, but there are some ways to determine if the email exists. Will take some extra work on your end and more then likely you are not going to know right away. Try connecting to the SMTP server that you want to check mail against. When you connect to the SMTP, which is usually port 25, you want to try to send a mail to the user to see if the box exists. I had to do this on a job a few years ago so I am not remembering the syntax but I can look it up for you if you would like. If there is no mailbox by that name on the server, it should return an error of 550 and state it is not a valid mailbox on the system. Let me know if this helps. Thanks Robert J.

RE: Can I run CFML code that I pull form my database?
The information that I get from the form is not ever going back to the application, only to a VB app that I have created to read the information from the database. I think I am going to follow your suggestion and grab the actual data from the database, use CFFILE to write a temp. cfm file and then include it for the user, this seems to be the best way to go. Thanks Robert J. Bailey (646) 526-4536 -Original Message- From: Chris Maloney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 4:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Can I run CFML code that I pull form my database? Robert, Considering I've seen other replies to this post that were considerably inaccurate, I'll give you a proper solution. The way to solve this problem is to take the data from the database write it to a file and then use cfinclude to include the file back in and thus have the code executed. Now, there is a danger in using this method, because someone could fill out a form and have code written into your database that may cause damage to your system. However you could easily filter the users input and strip out any tags they may have put into the form. Using evaluate() will work, provided however, you are only using CF functions and not using tags. Since you are using tags this method is not an option. Chris -Original Message- From: Robert J.
