You probably have a null value coming through...put in an or statement ...or qryHighestNum.highestNumber is ... So that if it is a null value or no value...it is set to 1 If you want to see where your problem is do a cfdump (cfdump var=#qryHighestNum#) that will display your query results.

Re: cfset dependent on javascript problem
Javascript cannot the ColdFusion cfset portion of your code based upon
your Javascript conditional logic. Your example will not work and jake was
trying to show you a Javascript way. If the closeboxflag is a form element,
it would be fire some sort of Javascript event to perform what you are
trying to do or perhaps update a hidden form field that will be processed by
a ColdFusion action page.

hope that makes sense, thanks for the help!
I'm not sure where you are trying to reference closeboxflag2 from but
from the looks of your code, you are mixing things that shouldn't be
mixed. The following works:
script language=javascript type=text/javascript
var closeboxflag = false;
var closeboxflag = ;
closeboxflag = confirm(Are you sure you want to close?)
if (closeboxflag == true) {
closeboxflag2 = true;
} else {
closeboxflag2 = false;
}

NO, it's not ok to have nested tags inside a cfset tag, or any other tag for
that matter.
cfset client.KissMyDate_DisplayMessage = 'Unfortunately this user has decided
not to receive anymore responses to this advert.' #iif( FindMatches.gender eq

You could use the IIF function here, but I'm sure there are better ways to do
this all around.

RE: cfset or cfparam in cfc?
Yes. Any time a variable is set inside a CFC method, it should have the var keyword unless you WANT it to be available to other methods in the CFC (i.e. you want it to be in the CFC wide variables scope). This goes for CFPARAM, CFQUERY, and every (every) other location where a variable is set. My practice is to do: CFSET var qProducts= CFQUERY name=qProducts. The question you have to ask yourself is how and why you're using the CFPARAM tag. Hi, I know that when you declare a variable inside a method of cfc, you should use the var keyword in front of it to prevent any conflict with variables outside of it. That is the case with cfset. What about cfparam? When you declare a variable with cfparam, do you have to worry about that? Johnny ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: cfset or cfparam in cfc?
Really, I don't think that cfparam is as useful inside CFC methods as it is inside CFM files.I have mostly used cfparam to declare attributes to a custom tag or input values to an included file. It makes sure that required variables exist, and for those that aren't required it can set default values. It also makes sure that the values for those variables are of the right type. The cfargument tag serves this purpose for parameters to function calls, removing the need to use cfparam. On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 15:22:34 -0500, Michael Dinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes.

RE: cfset or cfparam in cfc?
CFARGUMENT can validate the data type being passed in and if it exists (as well as give a default value). This copies most of the ability of the CFPARAM tag. On the other hand, the new validation ability of CFPARAM does not exist in CFARGUMENT (oversight?). Of course, you can write the same using functions, but I've told people in the past to use CFPARAM to validate the structure of their data within a CFC method as a fast 'check'. Really, I don't think that cfparam is as useful inside CFC methods as it is inside CFM files.I have mostly used cfparam to declare attributes to a custom tag or input values to an included file.

Re: Slightly OT: XHTML (was Re: cfset ?)
Pardon me as I catch up on my CF-Talk reading here... Claude Schneegans wrote: single tags such as br, img, etc close themselves (a la br/). Completely useless, but anyway... Useless looking, but making your pages fully standard XML is an awesome thing. 2) all tag attributes must be lowercase. This I really hate. Since HTML is actually a mix of several languages like Javascript, CSS, etc, See, that's where you're wrong. HTML, especially XHTML, isn't a mix of any other languages. Just like you should practice MVC on the server-side, you split your structure (html) from your presentation (css) from your behavior (js) on the client side. They're separate and don't need to be mixed. Here's a couple recent references: http://adactio.com/articles/display.php/this_year's_document_object_model http://www.alistapart.com/articles/scripttriggers/ and text, I find much clearer to have all tags in upper case, including CFML, and the rest in lowercase. It is much easier to separate different parts, especially that text is mostly lower case. It can be easier to read, uppercased, but it's part of the basics of XML. When you get used to it, lowercase tags are much easier to read, but that's me. -nathan strutz ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Actually xHTML works fine in IE provided it is xHTML 1.0 served as text through a mime type of text/html.

XHTML in general has to be served as application/xhtml+xml, application/xml or text/xml to be valid.

Re: cfset ?
Uhhh, the table tags are part of your content. They are the structure. The presentation are things like headings Well, I was more thinking of the content (text) as opposed to the presentation in a larger sense, including the container as well. For me, the fact that some text must be laid inside a cell inside a table is part of the presentation scheme for the same reason as bold, italic or strong. The perfect example is the b tag in HTML. What does it mean? It means bold the contained text. That's a presentation concern, not part of the content. Exact, this is why I always write B, not b, in order to better separate it from the content generally in lower case. And this is why I do not like XHTML. In XHTML you have the strong tag. What does it mean? The contained text should be 'stronger' than other text. That's a semantic concern, not presentation. The you use CSS to supply the presentation info appropriate for the medium, based on the semantic meaning. I know, this is the philosopy behind SGML and DTDs. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

actually .net will (haha) its really easy to do in dreamweaver! set the default document type to be xhtml compliant in the preferences and then when done with page under commands select fix xhtml. u have to do a few things like adding alt text to images but u should be doing that anyway. a few simple steps really helps cross browser support, if now we could only get m$ to do the right thing and build ie right, it would be awesome! kinda screwwy how msn is now building cssp sites but yet refuse to have their own browser support it properly. hopefully they will get sick of having to hack their code to get it to work in their own browser but not holding my breath. overall, u really should be coding in xhtml! it is really sweet:) so much cleaner, leaner faster! html is pretty forgiving on crappy, sloppy coding but xhtml is not, so if the browser isnt guessing what to do and can run straight through it, makes it much faster! kinda like calling a key in a structure or array instead of pulling it out of a list, in other words, it knows exactly whats its doing instead of searching, so speed is WHOO HOO! would be hilarious is the net switched to it today! can u see all them frontpage sites take a big ole dooky! on some other boards we were trying to help this guy make his code compliant but he refused to leave frontpage, its was totally amazing that u can not make that code compliant, no matter what u do! good stuff ms! keep up the good work haha From: Will Tomlinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 3:28 PM To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: Re: cfset ?

Re: cfset ?
It's a personal style thing. I like it, because it's consistent with the XHTML I create. I don't have to think about whether I'm writing CFML or XHTML, I just close every tag. One thing to watch out for, however, is custom tags. The self-close is treated a closing tag, so if your custom tag isn't expecting that, weird problems can arise. In theory, every custom tag will properly check it's executionMode, and react accordingly, possibly by ignoring a close tag that it wasn't expecting, but that's not always the case. cf_myCustomTag cf_myCustomTag / The first line will call the custom tag once, with executionMode = start, while the second line will call the custom tag twice, once with executionMode = start, and then again with executionMode = end. This goes for CFMODULE calls as well. cheers, barneyb On Thu, 3 Feb 2005 18:14:19 -0500, dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ok this is dumb but was just curious about something i have always done cfsets like suck cfset blah = my ex but i was just browsing through one of charlie griefers articles and i see he closes the tag, like suck cfset blah = my ex / the docs dont mention using a closing tag and i have never seen it before so just curious :) -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

It's a personal style thing. I like it, because it's consistent with the XHTML I create. I don't have to think about whether I'm writing CFML or XHTML, I just close every tag. One thing to watch out for, however, is custom tags. The self-close is treated a closing tag, so if your custom tag isn't expecting that, weird problems can arise. In theory, every custom tag will properly check it's executionMode, and react accordingly, possibly by ignoring a close tag that it wasn't expecting, but that's not always the case. The first line will call the custom tag once, with executionMode = start, while the second line will call the custom tag twice, once with executionMode = start, and then again with executionMode = end. This goes for CFMODULE calls as well. cheers, barneyb On Thu, 3 Feb 2005 18:14:19 -0500, dave wrote: ok this is dumb but was just curious about something i have always done cfsets like suck but i was just browsing through one of charlie griefers articles and i see he closes the tag, like suck the docs dont mention using a closing tag and i have never seen it before so just curious :) -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

Yeah, there's no tangible benefit to closing them like that. Pure style. Any CF tag can be closed like that, except, I believe, for CFCOL (used inside CFTABLE). I remember running into some tag that complained, and I think that was it.

Re: cfset ?
But if you do that, then you lose all the meaning of the CFIF tag, because both the true and false blocks are inside the tag. If you look at the JSTL (JSP Standard Template Library), they have an if tag (with no option for else or else if) and a choose/when/otherwise tag. the latter is kind of interesting, it's equivalent to fi..elseif..else, but it's structured more like switch..case..default: c:choose c:when test=x gt 5 x is greater than 5 /c:when c:when test=x eq 5 x is equal to 5 /c:when c:otherwise x is less than 5 /c:otherwise /c:choose One alternative (a less desirable one, IMHO) is exemplified in the Fusebox 4 grammar. It has three tags, IF, TRUE and FALSE, which are used like this: if condition=x GT 5 true It's bigger than 5 /true false It's less than or equal to 5 /false /if For general-purpose coding, the JSTL's pair of conditional constructs is definitely superior. For application structure descriptors (as FB4's XML files are) the need for conditional logic should be very little, so it's construct is suitable and simpler (since they're only one). cheers, barneyb On Fri, 4 Feb 2005 09:45:15 +1000, Taco Fleur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess its all just one step towards being compliant with xml, all you would have to do to make it really compliant is something like the following to get around the issue with cfelse. cfif 1 EQ 1 test ![CDATA[ cfelse ]] /cfif -- Taco Fleur Senior Web Systems Engineer http://www.webassociates.com -Original Message- From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 4 February 2005 9:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfset ?

Re: cfset ?
CFDUMP (along with 15 or so other tags) are still implemented as custom tags. Just in CFMX they fixed CFDUMP so that it checked executionMode and only does something on the start mode. The tags that are implemented in CFML (though they are encrypted) are in /WEB-INF/cftags.

Slightly OT: XHTML (was Re: cfset ?)
that's a whole 'nother discussion :) the biggest deal is that HTML is going away. There will be no HTML 5. The current (4.whatever) is the last. XHTML is the next standard as defined by the W3C. XHTML itself is nothing more than 'well formed' HTML (so if you wrote 'good HTML', you're in good shape). Basically: 1) all tags must be closed. this includes option, li, and the like. single tags such as br, img, etc close themselves (a la br /). 2) all tag attributes must be lowercase. this includes events like onclick, onsubmit, etc. 3) all attribute values must be in quotes. that's XHTML in a nutshell. if adhering to standards matters to you, then XHTML should be a big deal.

Well, there's a little more than will fit within that nutshell. XHTML isn't HTML at all - it's an XML language that shares many common elements with HTML and it is intended to replace HTML. However, you may have written well-formed HTML that isn't at all XHTML-compliant. Also, element names - what we'd typically call tag names in HTML - must also be lowercase, and there are some HTML tags which don't exist in XHTML if I recall correctly.

Re: cfset ?
It's the modern HTML standard. HTML 4.0 is still the most common, I'm sure, but XHTML superceeded it. It's not really any different, except it forces you to separate content from presentation, and since it's XML, allows you to do various nifty things in certain situations (such as embedding other XML namespaces, or doing XSL transformations). cheers, barneyb On Thu, 03 Feb 2005 20:43:01 -0500, Claude Schneegans [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I like it, because it's consistent with the XHTML I create.

Re: Slightly OT: XHTML (was Re: cfset ?)
1) all tags must be closed. this includes option, li, and the like. No problem with that. single tags such as br, img, etc close themselves (a la br/). Completely useless, but anyway... 2) all tag attributes must be lowercase. This I really hate. Since HTML is actually a mix of several languages like Javascript, CSS, etc, and text, I find much clearer to have all tags in upper case, including CFML, and the rest in lowercase. It is much easier to separate different parts, especially that text is mostly lower case. 3) all attribute values must be in quotes.

Re: cfset ?
Uhhh, the table tags are part of your content. They are the structure. The presentation are things like headings should be bold and red, cells should have a green background. With HTML, you can embed that stuff in the content (though you don't have to). With XHTML, on the other hand, you simply can't. You have to use CSS to do it. That's the separation of content and presentation. The perfect example is the b tag in HTML. What does it mean? It means bold the contained text. That's a presentation concern, not part of the content. In XHTML you have the strong tag. What does it mean? The contained text should be 'stronger' than other text. That's a semantic concern, not presentation. The you use CSS to supply the presentation info appropriate for the medium, based on the semantic meaning. For visual text, the default presentation of strong is to bold it. But for aural presentation, you'd use a stronger voice tone. Or perhaps you want it to be both bold and a different color. All this is very simple to do, because you can use the same content for multiple presentations, without having to change the content at all. It's worth mentioning that you can do all this with HTML as well as XHTML. The difference is that with HTML you can choose to do it this way, but with XHTML you _have_ to do it this way. cheers, barneyb On Thu, 03 Feb 2005 23:02:50 -0500, Claude Schneegans [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: except it forces you to separate content from presentation, This is exactly what bothers me.

Well that's why he said it breaks encapsulation is because it applies to the entire request -- if you happen to be using cfc's in your request, then by golly, it applies to the CFC because it's part of that request. You can of course choose to reset cfsetting within your cfc methods if you feel you need to. I've been modifying a few of my own templates recently and cosciously adding cfoutput around some items I might normally not have because I realized that another developer using the onTap framework might have enablecfoutputonly active in their configuration, so I just output around anything I think might get damaged by that.

RE: cfset vs. cfsavecontent
You're correct, it's not a bug, though it's not necessarily what you'd expect.Just think of CFSETTING as turning on a request-level flag (which affects ALL templates in the request), indicating that nothing should be output. I'd recommend always putting generated content inside CFOUTPUT tags anyway. And yes, that means that if you use CFOUTPUT query= group= that you'll have to do some nasty tag nesting.Of course, those loops don't happen a lot (ungrouped loops with CFLOOP are the norm), so it's not a big deal.

Re: cfset and figuring percentages..
Without getting into the editor part (that's a whole different thread), check out http://livedocs.macromedia.com - documentation for CF is there. -joe - Original Message - From: techmike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 13:19:22 -0400 Subject: Re: cfset and figuring percentages..

RE: cfset vs. cfsavecontent
You have output disabled with CFSETTING?If so, you'll need to wrap the
CFSAVECONTENT in a CFOUTPUT if you want the text to display.

Subject: cfset vs. cfsavecontent
I have a CFC where I'm writing the contents of a config file for a 3rd
party engine. However, if I use cfsavecontent (my preferred approach),
the XML string never gets written. But if I use the standard cfset,
the string is written out appropriately. Can anybody see/tell me the
difference between the following two snippets and if there's a reason
why cfsavecontent wouldn't be working? It just returns a blank string:
Using cfset:
cfset xmlString = '?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8
standalone=no?DYNCONFIG!-- Overrides the Input file name
--ELEMENTLOCATORTOOL(PropertyCSV)/DATA_FILE/LOCATORVAL
UEX:\\#Variables.instance[CORPORATEID]#\\#Arguments.fileNam
e#/VALUE/ELEMENT!--
Overrides the Output file name
--ELEMENTLOCATORTOOL(PropertyResults)/DATA_FILE/LOCATOR
VALUEX:\\#Variables.instance[CORPORATEID]#\\#Arguments.fil
eName#_Geocoded.csv/VALUE/ELEMENT/DYNCONFIG'
/
Using cfsavecontent:
cfsavecontent variable=xmlString?xml version=1.0
encoding=UTF-8 standalone=no?
DYNCONFIG
!-- Overrides the Input file name --
ELEMENT
LOCATORTOOL(PropertyCSV)/DATA_FILE/LOCATOR
VALUE#Variables.instance['CONSTANTS'].get('baseConfigFileMap
pedDrive')#\\#Variables.instance[CORPORATEID]#\\#Arguments.f
ileName#/VALUE
/ELEMENT
!-- Overrides the Output file name --
ELEMENT
LOCATORTOOL(PropertyResults)/DATA_FILE/LOCATOR
VALUE#Variables.instance['CONSTANTS'].get('baseConfigFileMap
pedDrive')#\\#Variables.instance[CORPORATEID]#\\#Arguments.f
ileName#_Geocoded.csv/VALUE
/ELEMENT
/DYNCONFIG
/cfsavecontent

RE: cfset vs. cfsavecontent
I have a CFC where I'm writing the contents of a config file for a 3rd party engine. However, if I use cfsavecontent (my preferred approach), the XML string never gets written. Why not just use the CFXML tag? That's exactly what it's for, I think.

I was trying to use that (that was my first attempt), but I kept
getting a Document root element is missing error using the code
below. If you happen to see anything wrong with the below syntax, I'm
all eyes, as that's the cleanest way to write the code (mind you, I
have no control over the XML syntax, as it's the 3rd party's product).
cfxml variable=xmlString casesensitive=true

Cheers, barneyb Thanks Barney, that was it. Out of curiosity, isn't that a bit counter-intuitive? I mean, the whole purpose (in this case, at least) is to write the contents to a variable to pass back from my CFC. If I'm not writing anything to the output stream in cfsavecontent call itself, why do I need the cfoutputs? Just curious. Thanks again. Regards, Dave.
