Re: web service image upload issue
Peter, I am noticing you are using fileRead to read the file into memory and then convert it to base 64 and then to binary. Why not use cffile action=readbinary to avoid jumping through all the hoops to start? Plus I am thinking that it is likely that using fileread to start and cffile to write might cause some issue. I have no resource that I can point to that says it will cause a problem, but I would just stick with one or the other.

Re: CF Query to WDDX to Javascript. Possible?
Cameron, Agreed. We do have CF 9 we just have not installed it yet. I am not 100% sure what is taking so long to get it done, but that is a decision that much higher up in the food chain than I am.

Re: CF Query to WDDX to Javascript. Possible?
OK, first not sure why there are two threads going about this question... Anyway, to address some of the comments: I currently on CF 6.1 so I (should?) be able to get a JSON response, I will take a look at that route. I do not have a lot of experience doing this type of thing so I am pretty sure there is a better way to go than I am currently going, and if JSON is it I am open to it. >> No, WDDX is XML, not Javascript; it always has been. > >The WDDX SDK actually shipped with a fairly robust (for the time) set >of JS libraries for manipulating WDDX data via JavaScript. > >Looks like the official home(s) for the WDDX SDK (wddx.org, then >openwddx.org) went away some times ago, but you can still find the >original docs hosted elsewhere via google (ie: >http://www.finwin.com/Dev/wddxsdk/).

You would think so, but from my experience I cannot get at the data the same way I would with a normal array. For example: "response.SCNDRY_TXT[1]" returns undefined when I try to 'alert' the value, where response is the name of the total data set, and SCNDRY_TXT is the field name. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335521 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
CF Query to WDDX to Javascript. Possible?
Hello all, I have a select menu that I need to be dynamically populated with the results of a db query. I am using jQuery/ajax to pass a value to search for in the database. This all seems to work fine except what is returned is a WDDX packet and I cannot figure out how to take the data that is returned and put it in the dynamic select menu. I know CF has a de-serializier but, as this is done at run time on the client machine I do not see how that would help. I know jQuery/JS you can use the eval() function to parse the wddx packet, but the data that comes out looks the same as the data going in. How do I navigate the wddx packet? I have tried what would make sense (i.e. data.fieldName.value)but what JavaScript shows me is blank or undefined. Thanks!

CFLOOP inside a CFQuery
Hello all, I have a dynamically generated form that I need to figure out how to get the data from that form in to our database. Here is the way it works. First the client types in the number of machines they have and the form generates the correct number of rows so that the info about each machine is located on a separate row. That all works well until they hit submit (or will hit submit if I figure out the next part). How do I create a cfquery that has the correct number of values so that each machines data is stored correctly? For example I will have row one with lets say three fields (Type, number, issue). Lets say a client has a problem with 10 machines. The form now has 10 rows with 3 columns in each. Each field in row one is named type1, number1, issue1 and row two is type2, number2, issue2, etc.. The number next to the name is placed there by putting the index of the loop in the name field. So this is where I was going to use a CFLOOP inside a CFquery to create field names dynamically. I can get it to repeate the information correctly, however the problem is the index of the loop does not seem to get attached to the form value I am putting into the database. I am doing something like: INSERT into tbl_ballotOrder (type, number, issue) Values ( '#FORM.type##LoopCount#', '#FORM.number##LoopCount#', '#FORM.issue##LoopCount#' ) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Mark (and everyone else), Thanks for the help but I figured it out. My problem with my CFFTP was because of a networking problem. I was connecting to the wrong IP address... duh!
