background color?

2000-05-27 Thread earwicker

I know that there is not an attribute for background color in the 
tag, but I'd really like a way to modify it nonetheless. Does anyone know of
a way around this limitation?

studio customization question

2000-05-10 Thread earwicker

No no No NO!!

This is not a "how do you . . ." sort of question, so please relax, put down
your manuals, and take a deep breath.

Let me be superficial for just a moment. . .

I was wondering something that I'll bet some of you are afraid to admit
having thought yourselves: I was wondering if there are any interesting
fixed-width fonts that we developers can get our hands on?! Fixed-width
fonts for the NON-aesthetically impaired?

Ok. I concede that there may be some of you with, er, ummm, "unusual" erotic
attachments to the good ol' Courier workhorse (or (*gag*) Lucida Console!),
and maybe some of you (*gasp!*) don't mind not being able to line up EVERY
LAST CHARACTER of your code in truly impressive anal-retentive fashion-but
*I* do.

I admit it.

I want to eat my cake and have it, too.

I want a sexy, interesting, legible font-and since I generally stare at the
damn thing for 10-12 hours a day (or more), I don't think I'm asking for
anything unreasonable. I want my fonts to thrill me AND to line the f*$^ up!
And I want (like every good, proud, spoiled, and whiny american) CHOICES!

So . . . do any of you have leads on downloadable, interesting, fixed-width
fonts for the mal-adapted anal retentive control freak?

Thank you all so very very very much (and thank you, naturally, in "plain
text").

RE: Anyone using ASP in a CFM file???

2000-05-09 Thread earwicker

My understanding is that you can't do it. The server looks for the .cfm or
.asp tag and then routes the file accordingly. You can mix them within an
application or site, but you can't mix them on a single page.

Though I could be wrong. It happened once before. In 1987. Somewhere near
Cut n' Shoot, Texas. *g*

RE: How to make a text flash in CF

2000-05-08 Thread earwicker

Not to mention that blinking text is one of the cheapest, tackiest, ugliest,
and substandard design solutions known to mankind. Unless you have an
employer trying to force this solution onto you, "just say 'no' ", or at
least suggest something better.

Two years ago, I was required to REMOVE all flashing text in an application
in order to comply with OSHA rules.  The contention was that certain medical
conditions could be aggravated by flashing.  Better check any regualtions
that your industry is subject to.

RE: cf vs. ASP strengths: need to convince client

2000-05-08 Thread earwicker

thanks. I appreciate the resource.

Although this is exactly the kind of thing I need, I'm not ASP-savvy enough
to know the differences between 2.0 and 3.0. One would assume that some of
those issues have already been addressed??

cf vs. ASP strengths: need to convince client

2000-05-06 Thread earwicker

Hello everyone. I apologize in advance if this topic is inappropriate for
this forum, but I feel sure that you folks (timid, shy, unopinionated lot
that you are) will let me know if it is. Here goes. . .

The (small startup) company I work for has a chance to land a VERY lucrative
contract with a major client here in houston. The client uses ASP
extensively. We want to encourage them to purchase cf server, and to allow
us to realize their project in cold fusion. I must make a compelling
presentation to the client by mid-week. I am aware of the "asp vs. cold
fusion" listing on the HOF site, and will include those points, but I am
hoping that some of you can help me augment the following list (which is an
extension of the HOF list):


---cf will drastically reduce the development time (and hence $$) of the
project . . . (i.e. one can accomplish the same things with much simpler
coding)

---the simpler code makes for MUCH easier maintenance of the project (again
. . . . ultimately saving $$)

---bringing in cold fusion does not make their existing ASP code obsolete.
The two can operate concurrently, and will offer their in-house team yet
another wonderful and proven tool. (We plan on including one or two ASP
pages in our mock-up so that they can see the two operating hand-in-hand)

---since cf sends (for the most part) nothing but html to the client's
machine, less "sensitive" code will be visible to curious and/or unfriendly
"codesmiths" out in the real world.

I also need a solid argument to combat the "cold fusion has security issues"
argument that these people may or may not have heard. At the very least, I
would love to hear a not-too-biased comparison of ASP vs. cF as regards
security . . . particular the security of any and all referenced
database(s).

Thanks.
