FW: Anyone using ASP in a CFM file???
Yesterday I sent this message to CF-talk regarding using ASP code in CF templates. I overlooked one particular aspect regarding redirects. I forgot about the CFLOCATION tag and by using this the CFOUPUTjavascript redirect/CFOUTPUT becomes unneccessary. So, in the last two lines of the code below you could substitute the CFHTTP and CFOUTPUT tags with the following: CFLOCATION URL="http://www.domain.com/aspfile.asp" Leong -Original Message- From: Leong Yew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 10:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Anyone using ASP in a CFM file??? Nancy, I'm not sure what you hope to achieve here. Are you trying to embed ASP code in your CF template and get the CF server to parse that code and perform actions on it? This can't be done directly. CF won't recognize that code and the processed CF template will be sent to the browser with the asp code intact. Sometime ago, on this discussion list, there was similar question. I've thought about it and there is an indirect way to use ColdFusion to "pre-process" other server side scripts like ASP or PHP. You'll have to use a combination of CFFILE (or CFFTP) and CFHTTP. The trick is to get CF to process and save a text string as the respective server side script and then use CFHTTP to request for that file. Here's an example. Suppose you want CF to process a form data but (for some reason) you want the output to be asp. !-- use CF tags to perform whatever actions on say, form.variable. The result is variable2 -- !-- You want to use asp's response.write method to output variable2 -- CFSET aspfile = "% response.write "#variable2#" %" CFFILE ACTION="write" file="d:/dirpath/aspfile.asp" output="#aspfile#" CFHTTP URL="http://www.domain.com/aspfile.asp" method="get"/cfhttp cfoutput#cfhttp.FileContent#/cfoutput Alternatively you could use CFFTP if you want to upload the file to a remote server. Of course this is just an example and you could do more complex things with it. Note that the page sent back to the browser will be a CFM page. If you want to leave CF and get IIS to directly return aspfile.asp to the browser, you'll have to place the above code within the html document header, replace CFHTTP with CFOUPUT/CFOUPUT and nest a javascript redirect within those tags. By the way, there might be a problem with the quotes (3rd line) in front of #variable#. You'll probably have to escape that or use the chr() function. I can't remember what the value is for that. But this generally is the idea behind it.

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