I can't turn them on, since they are off.

Re: Problem with Studio
Michael, I installed DW 4 Ultra Dev sometime back, but it didn't hurt anything. I have uninstalled it, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled CF Server and CF Studio a couple of times. I did some diagnostics and discovered some registry errors related, I think, to MDAC, which I fixed with Norton Systemworks. I reinstalled MDAC from the CF folder. I seem to recall an MDAC patch from Microsoft, but after searching their site, I can't figure out what it might have been. All of my applications work fine, including queries. But still, every time I touch Localhost in Studio's Database tab, I get the error, The connection to the server cannot be established. And whenever I click refresh on the rds://localhost server in the Remote Servers tab, I get the error, The system cannot find the file specified. Much of my searching in CF help leads me into server security issues. It might be worth noting that I can't follow some of the recommendations, because I don't have Advanced Security available to me within CF Administrator.

Re: Db to web: Replacing odd ascii characters in db to web
Paul, You don't say whether the folks performing this task are using Quark (and cutting directly from it) or whether they are using linked text files outside of Quark. You might want to back up a step, if you still have access to Quark, and export the text as text. This will strip out all, or at least most, formatting. I've used this feature in Ventura Publisher for years. I'm not sure whether Quark allows it, but most DTP packages copy many of Ventura's features, so it should be available. If plain text export is not available, another format, like RTF, will be. Export as HTML would get you close, also. --John Paul Sinclair [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] crest.com cc: Subject: Db to web: Replacing odd ascii characters in 04/24/2001 03:33 db to web PM Please respond to cf-talk I'm managing a site where articles from a magazine are being cut and pasted into a text entry field. The people doing the actual cut and paste routine are starting from a Quark file. When they cut the text out of Quark and into the db, it is putting in all sorts of strange characters - probably high ascii characters. When a dynamically created cfm page drawing its content from the database is displayed, it puts all sorts of heiroglyphics in the output. For example, apostrophes and emdashes show up as a hollow square - that sort of thing. I've tried to do a replace function on the article's body and by and large it works.

Re: Cold Fusion Forums
zac, I'm not sure, but you may be over-thinking this. Tony's application is simple enough without Fusebox. Coding it in that methodology, believe it or not, would make it even easier for you to modify or troubleshoot, even with no prior exposure to Fusebox. Fusebox is still CFML, after all. If he breaks it out in a consistent manner, the files will be shorter, and the program flow will be more logical and easier to follow.

Thanks to all who responded. Kevin and Bryan suggested using sum(queryColumn) as xxx.

Dynamic group in output query
I had a group column set dynamically for an output query, based on whether a form variable was passed into the template, as follows: cfif parameterexists(icat) cfset queryGroup = 'ItemCategory' cfelse cfset queryGroup = 'Category' /cfif The variable, "queryGroup," is used in the output query, as: cfoutput query="getMainList" group=#queryGroup# , and this works fine. Now, I have a situation where, if I pass in another form variable, I don't want grouping, so I need to include the whole grouping string, instead of just variable for which column to use. The following works in a CFOUTPUT, but not in a CFOUTPUT QUERY: cfset queryGroup = 'group="ItemCategory"' cfoutput#queryGroup#/cfoutput I've tried all sorts of variations on: cfoutput query="getMainList" #queryGroup#, but I get an "Invalid token" error as soon as I get to a # or (as in a CFIF at this position). Any suggestions? I suppose I could use a CFIF statement and have two versions of the CFOUTPUT, but I'd rather have dynamic text within one. TIA, --John ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: OT: Dave's Burning Rant, Part Deux
I'm sorry but James's "Ignorance is no excuse" argument is unimpressive. If I had bought an early '70's Ford Pinto, I would never have considered anyone but Ford at fault for increasing the danger I faced on the highway, once I became aware of it. All the other factors would remain as constants. People ARE stupid, lazy, careless, impatient, gullible, etc. These traits WILL always be with us, and they WILL ALWAYS result in bad events. This is life, and there's no avoiding it. Accidents CAN be avoided, yet they still DO happen. James and others tend to put all the responsibility for avoiding virii off onto us, the end users of mail programs. If it gets into court, the standard to judge liability is what's commonly referred to as the "Reasonable Man" standard. What you're expecting of us is, I think, unreasonable.

If they are competitors, how can one be turned into the traffic cop for both without some sort of contractual language to spell out the relationships, responsibilities, liabilities, and means of resolving conflicts, etc.? If this thing gets set up the way the other guy wants it, insist on a contract that will help everyone sort out the problems, once they (inevitably) happen.

RFP for state portal
The State of Mississippi is soliciting bids for a state web portal infrastructure. I seriously urge any of the larger vendors to take a look at this and consider bidding on it. If accepted (one would hope, as a Cold Fusion site), you can anticipate that there would be a flood of additional projects from dozens of state agencies, since they're all looking to this portal project to provide direction for the use of web technology within state government. The state is trying to accomplish several things with this project, including central processing of credit cards for online payment of fees and sharing of public data across all agencies that need it. The people who prepared the RFP are very interested in JAVA technologies. Since much of our data resides on the state's mainframe, they would like to make that data accessible via the web. Of course, security is a top issue. The description for RFP 3205 can be found at ftp://www.its.state.ms.us/pub/issinfo/rfps/rfps.htm The RFP is linked from that page, but the direct link is ftp://www.its.state.ms.us/pub/issinfo/rfps/3205.htm There is a mandatory vendor conference in advance of the bids that will be held on February 7, 2001 in Jackson, Mississippi. If you don't attend, you won't be able to bid. You don't have to submit anything prior to the vendor conference, and you will have two days following this meeting to submit questions. Following that, bids will be due by March 2. If a Cold Fusion solution is implemented, guys, this would place CF at the center of our state government's web presence and could result in a lot of work for a number of CF shops for some time to come. The influence would likely ripple out to the web design firms in central Mississippi. PLEASE take a look. After you download the RFP and read it, if you have any questions, contact Wally DeRossette at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The project schedule is on page 25 of the RFP. I'm not directly involved with preparing the RFP or awarding the bid, but this process is handled here in my office, and I'm available to help you in any way I can.

Re: CF vs. Lotus Domino App Server
I had the, um, opportunity to work with Domino for a while. I probably
wrecked my career with the reaction I had. In short, I found the IDE to
be totally unintuitive and the output to be largely dependent on
Javascript. Even if you don't write it, it will still appear in your
pages. But there is no shortage of documentation. After I printed it all
out, I had two feet of shelf space devoted to it.
Lotus makes a good sales pitch. I'll leave it at that.

CFFILE help
I'm not a newbie to CF, but I am to CFFILE. I have an idea how to take an existing template that queries for any of about 50 educational courses, and displays the course and section info for them, and create static HTML files instead. Any advice would be appreciated. category.cfm displays a list of all the courses. The links are displayed on the page as LIs with the course number passed to a second file used to display the course information-- course.cfm. course.cfm displays the actual information for each course offered, including section or meeting dates. Previously, I created a file, called course2htm.cfm that writes all the information for a course as I need the file to appear on the web (we don't have CF Server available to the world - so the files have to be non-CF), but I have to copy the html, and paste it into an html file. Multiply that by 50 or more, and it's not pretty. I'm thinking that I could use CFFILE either within the first file, category.cfm and create the html files when I click on the links, or I could use CFFILE within, or in conjunction with the second file, course2htm.cfm, to create the files I need. My CFWACK is at home, so all I have is the CFML Language Reference (eeeuuwww!).

Something like: 208.208.208 IP = 1 Name = boxname Description = what this box does 208.208.209 ect... I'm not sure of the best method to do this. I tried building a query on the subnet table, then in the cfoutput of that query, loop through another query on the subnet_info table... but it doesn't work. Any ideas for me how to do this?

Form and CFGRID on same page
Sorry for cross-posting. I should have sent this message only to CF-Talk. I want to include a CFGRID on the same page with a FORM. When the parent record is created, I would hide the grid, since it's designed for child records. However on updates to the form, I'd like to show the grid, allowing users to enter items that would be displayed on another page as a bulleted list. The page would query the parent table and populate the form on updates. The problem I anticipate is that by updating either the form OR the grid, I will destroy any changes made in the other. Has anyone tried to do something like this where they pass both sets of variables to a template that has the form update and cfgridupdate in a cftransaction? Given what I know, this seems pretty far-fetched, but I know I'm not the first to ever want to do this.

Re: Multi-table inserts updates
David,
Thanks for the interest, but I suspect the solution you're heading towards
would revolve around populating records in one table with multi-selects
from another table. What I'm needing (or wanting) to do is enter multiple
records in the child table where the input is text that the user types in.
In case I'm wrong, the answer to your question is that the "nbrOrder" and
"bullet" fields in the child table are simply text fields -- bullet is for
the text to be entered, and nbrOrder is for the order the user wishes to
establish for the resulting UL elements on the display template.
Thanks,
--John

John,
I see that bullets is one of the child tables, and that its bid field
provides the relationship to the parent table. Where do nbrOrder and
bullet come from? Which field comes from the child table's input field
on the entry template?
I ask in order to see if my method would work for you. I have an entry
template with a form containing several text input elements for parent
table values, and a multiple-select element whose options each represent
an entry in a child table. Upon submit I put the option values into a
hidden element as a list. On the form's action page I insert a record
into the parent table and then I loop over the list, doing an insert into
the child table for each list item.
It ain't easy to explain, but your answers to my questions at the top may
make it more clear to us.

Re: Selects in CFGRID
Thanks, guys. I kind of think someone missed the boat on this applet. Wouldn't it seem reasonable that, if you want to use a grid to insert/update/delete records, you might want to have it operate much like a FORM or CFFORM, using SELECT fields? Oh, well. Also, I may be missing it, but I can't find any way to apply edits to the fields or to format the data, like with numberformat or dateformat. Without all this functionality, seems like you have a merely pretty table that encourages the insertion of really sloppy data. Just my .02, and thanks again. --John Dave Watts wrote: Yeah.

Re: CF, PHP vs. JSP?
Steven, If the client has a thoroughly thought out plan, and JSP fits well with that plan, then he/she probably does know what they want. Otherwise, it's probably the equivalent of a beauty contest. In that case, their decision would be based on less quantifiable or definable issues. If they are only "leaning," then it might be good to give them the alternatives with dollar estimates. It's going to cost the client more money or less money, depending on which route they take. Someone else might be able to do a JSP site for less than you could do it using CF. Or maybe you can save them a lot of money and provide other benefits they hadn't considered before. Unless the client is as technically savvy as you, side by side comparisons are of little use, IMO. They're still going to decide the issue on the same criteria they would have used otherwise. If you can discover those criteria, you can help them decide what is most beneficial to them.

Tom, I beg to differ, just slightly. Except for sorting by To: and CC:, I don't see anything you mention that Netscape Mail can't do. Maybe if I'd been able to sort on those two fields before now, I might see some advantage to it. Other than that, I have folders and filters for everything, and I can sort and search every other field in a message. I wouldn't mention it except that you seem to indicate NS has limited functionality. Using it, I can filter all my lists, and zip through 500 messages or more in a very short while. I'm in full agreement on Notes client. The same batch of mail in Notes takes nearly 10 times as long (that's no exageration).

Re: Extranet's
Rif, I'm not certain how you're using the term, "extranet." If you mean access by a limited number of people outside your firewall (not the whole world), then it's basically similar to your intranet with some extra security considerations. How much access you give the extranet users should probably depend on their relationship to your organization. What do you want them to know? What do you want them to be able to do? I'd recommend putting your extranet users in the same table with your employees. An extra column could differentiate between the two. Since they're coming in from outside, you might also want to provide logins for them.

Re: Inserting (or updating) more than one record at a time
Gina, I don't have a specific response to your question, only a suggestion. If your form fields correspond to columns in a table, you might find everything much easier to deal with if you modify the structure of your database. You have, essentially, these types of information: CLIENTID1,TASKID1,SUNHOURS1,MONHOURS1,TUEHOURS1,WEDHOURS1,THUHOURS1, FRIHOURS1,SATHOURS1. To get different ClientIDs, you change the "1" to a different number and add new columns to the table. What you might consider is breaking this up into at least two tables, one for the ClientID, and the second one for the tasks and hours associated with that ID. All of the fields in the second table can have the ending number dropped, then be combined into a single table with only 9 columns. The ClientID field would be the link back to your Client table. Doing this will shrink the size and complexity of your database, make it easier to add new ClientIDs, if needed, and make inserts, updates, and deletes, not to mention select queries, a snap to write.

RE: Has the Apocalypse cometh? (Was RE: CF vs. ASP)
Jeremy, Your rant produced a thought I hadn't had before. I wonder how competitive ASP would be vs. CF if it were not free, but instead offered at roughly the same price point? I just finished up a post to a thread on an HWG list that someone started by asking about free or low cost web/database solutions. There is a large community out there that is really into "free" and/or open source software. They sneer at companies that offer what they term "proprietary" solutions. All other things being equal, I can't imagine that nearly as many people would bother to learn and use ASP, if they had to pay for it. I'm kind of surprised that Allaire hasn't pushed their own free options more aggressively. It would be a serious coup, if they started offering Studio for free. I have no idea what their sales figures look like, but it would seem they make most of their money off of their enterprise class offerings and support subscriptions. Studio for free would certainly kick ASP's butt. Regards, --John ASP_RANT Microsoft is giving away ASP like they gave away Internet Explorer. IE, ASP+ .NET all of this is a part of Microsofts agenda to push them as a premiere devleoper of Applicaton servers provider tools and Applications Services through Microsoft. I truly believe giving away ASP does not hurt competition but if they make ASP+ a better tool and still give it away for free they are STLL practicing monopolistic tactics and I still truly believe even tho this is seemingly counterproductive at first that microsoft should be broken into at the very least Applications Company and Operating System Company.

When the need to see two files simultaneously arises, I just fire up my old copy of Arachnophilia ( free download from http://www.arachnoid.com ), and I can view as many files at once as I want to, although more than four files starts to make each one more difficult to view, as the available window space for the application is divided among the open files.

Database problems
I have a strange problem with inserts in an Access table. I can't seem to wrap either a CFINSERT or an SQL insert within a CFTRANSACTION. Either method, without a CFTRANSACTION, will successfully insert a record in my table. But as soon as I try to use CFTRANSACTION, so I can get the ID of the record just inserted and CFLOCATION to the entry form, all I do is increment the database ID, but don't insert any data. Can anyone hazard a guess what's causing this? I've read everything I can get my hands on, and I can't seem to figure it out.

Insert produces blank record
Using an Access table, I have a template with an INSERT and a MAX(ID), plus a CFLOCATION routine within a CFTRANSACTION. I've tried it with both SQL INSERT and CFINSERT and, either way, the autonumber field is incremented, but no data is inserted in the record. If I use either insert method on its own, without a CFTRANSACTION, the record is inserted correctly. I wonder if someone could steer me to possible sources for this problem. With other databases, this method works fine using essentially the same code, so I'm wondering if there might be a setting in the database, itself, in the ODBC settings, or possibly in my APPLICATION.CFM (code below, if it helps).

File name with query string in JS function
This is a variation on the recent thread where we discussed using link
references like page.cfm?foo=bar#spot.
In a framed environment, I have four JS functions that use rollovers to
populate another frame using syntax like:
function loadfn()
{
parent.empl_list.location = "alpha_fn.cfm";
I've put the functionality of all four templates I call like this into one
template. The new syntax should look like:
function loadfn()
{
parent.empl_list.location = "employee_list.cfm?sort=firstname";
The error description follows:
Error in expression:
url.sort = "thumbnail"
Invalid conditional expression. Perhaps you are using = instead of EQ
or IS
to compare values.
The error occurred while processing an element with a general
identifier of
(CFIF), occupying document position (2:1) to (2:29).
The correct template gets called, but when the first line,
which reads, "cfif url.sort = "thumbnail"" is reached, the error occurs.
Any suggestions on how to code the javascript to pass the URL.SORT variable
properly? I've tried several variations, with no luck. I've tried escaping
both the question mark and equal sign, with the same results.
Thanks,
--John

Inserts and updates strategy
I have a form that needs to insert and then update values in two tables. I have the insert part, but I'm not sure how to handle the updates. During the insert, the user enters info about a URL link in the LINKS table. There is a drop down list which allows the user to select multiple counties. Selected values will be entered in successive records in a COUNTIES table, linked to the first table on the URL field. For the update, I call the form again and populate the fields with the values previously entered in both tables. The question is, if the user wants to make different selections in the drop down list, how to I make the needed changes to the COUNTIES table? In the first pass (insert), the values "1" "3" and "5" get entered. During the update, I want to remove "1" and "3", and add "2" and "4", so that I end up with only 2,4 and 5 in table. I'm thinking it might be best, during an update to COUNTIES, to delete all records related to this URL first, then insert the newly selected values. Does this seem like the right approach? Or would I be better off simply storing this list in a single field in the LINKS table and dropping the COUNTIES table altogether, since it only contains the FK and an ID field? Part of the consideration is that I want to show the ID values as preselected in the drop down list during the update. I should mention that the drop down contains a total of 82 values (populated using another query), and there might be, say, 3 values preselected.

Re: OT: Uncommon fonts
Uwe,
This question might be better directed to a general HTML list like those
offered by the HTML Writers Guild at http://www.hwg.org, however...
You're not giving all the information needed here, but let me take a
shot at it. HTML and CSS don't know or care about fonts. They will
simply transmit a request to display a font, but for the request to be
honored by the browser, the font(s) must exist on the user's system. If
you specify Frutiger in a web page, only a few of your visitors are
likely to see the font.
Now, if you want to acquire the font and make graphics from it to use
for your navigation, you'll need to own it. Since many software
applications ship with a generous supply of fonts, you might already
have it, although it might be named differently.
Adobe has the font for sale at
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_073.html
Personally, if I were going to create graphics from a font and I already
had Swiss or Futura, I wouldn't bother buying Frutiger. For web work,
there's not enough difference to justify spending any money on it.
As a last resort, you could take your best shot at it in your code by
specifying multiple fonts. A browser will use the first font in a list
that's installed on the system. For instance, in HTML, use font
face="frutiger, futura, swiss, sans-serif" or, in CSS, use
SelectorName {
font-family : frutiger, futura, swiss, sans-serif;
{
HTH,

Hi, someone produced on an Apple MAC fonts called Frutiger (?) or Futur.
HTML/CSS doesn't provide these fonts! What can I do to get a similar font in
HTML ?
Building graphics for the navigation-menu ?
Thank you for any ideas !

Re: Unsubscribe
Mr. Horsch, I apologize that things have apparently gotten out of hand. There's nothing that most lists like better than to get hold of a spammer, although I'm not convinced that that's what you have been. I can appreciate your difficulty in unsubscribing. Many list members had difficulty during the early part of this month. I have two suggestions: 1) issue the unsubscribe command using all email clients that you use. The signup is tied to one email address, and if you don't issue commands from that address, you'll get multiple automated messages back from the list, but you won't get unsubscribed. 2) failing that, you could set up a mail filter to delete all incoming messages from the list and just forget about it.

Re: Selects, default values..
Kenneth, You can include any options in your select that you want, either before or after your query results. Just write them as if the query output weren't present. I notice that you're not using the "value" attribute within your OPTION element. You can include this in your static options, and you can also use an additional database field to populate it within the query output. If you're inserting, this can be useful if the value you want to store differs from the visible OPTION content. e.g., instead of OPTIONmy option, you could write: OPTION value="1"My Option 1/option OPTION value="2"My Option 2/option (the end tags are optional, but I prefer to include them) Regards, John Allred Kenneth Tyler kentyler@pacTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bell.netcc: Subject: Re: Selects, default values.. 06/29/2000 10:08 AM Please respond to cf-talk How can i give a select a choice thats not contained in my query?

No data in new record
Hi, I've been wrestling with an add/update template. Using CFINSERT, I can get the autonumber field to increment, but the record is not added. I'm using Access 97, and the table in question is a child in a 1-M relationship. I don't have referential integrity applied, but I'm wondering if the relationship between the tables might affect my ability to insert new records. The join type is to include all parent records and only those in the child that are equal. Doing the same thing with another pair of tables works fine. But the relationship for those is reversed.

CFINSERT on multiple tables
This question applies equally to inserts and updates, but describes inserts for simplicity. All references to CFINSERT I've found in CFWACK and Danesh describe the inclusion of only one tablename. For forms that query relational tables, would you have to provide for two separate inserts within a CFTRANSACTION? I'm pretty sure this will work, but I'm wondering if I can utilize one of my Access queries as the "tablename" value and do the insert in one action. Also for the child table, where I might be inserting multiple rows, do I need to do the inserts within a loop? Please be patient if this seems elementary. I'm still somewhat of a newbie.

Re: CFINSERT on multiple tables
Dave, Thanks for the info. Any sources you can refer me to where I can dig into this in greater detail? Dave Watts wrote: Whether you use CFINSERT or a regular SQL INSERT statement within CFQUERY, you can only update one table at a time. If you need to update multiple tables, you'll need multiple inserts. Whether or not they need to be within a CFTRANSACTION really depends on the specific circumstances. If they both absolutely have to either succeed or fail together, then they belong within a transaction. Yes, if you want to perform multiple inserts within a child table, you'll probably end up looping over an insert into that table. There are alternatives, but they require a decent amount of SQL within a stored procedure. -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
