Even though they may swear the process will change, it will be a one time deal, or some other well-meaning sentiment, (and sometimes it's close)- I'll write up a parser. Many times it's taken longer to write the parser than it would have taken to enter the data by hand, but more often than not, it pays off in the end. Sometimes I really do waste time trying too hard to save time. Eh... I'm aiming at doing that less, now that I got a kiddo on the way and all.

Re: Headers and Footers
I've seen developers wrap headers in footer in many different ways. Some basic ideas just use includes, I've also seen custom tags that take attributes and effect the way a page is displayed. I've been using a layout.cfc for a while now. showHeader() showFooter() showLeftMenu() etc. It seems natural to me, and easy to understand. It also allows me to send in whatever data I want to the header, such as titles, meta tags, etc. If I were Bobby H. I'd be using cfhtmlhead more, but I'm Will and I like having more fun than that. :) Will ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:255772 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Headers and Footers
If you use an application framework, or steal ideas from them, you have even more options. Model-glue is my favorite. Through your request, you add data to your viewstate object and views (pages) to your view collection object. The last thing you do in a request is run your final layout view, in which you output previously stored views. So let's say you have a blog. You would add your blog entries (probably a query) to your viewstate and include your blog view. This gives you the body content for your blog page. This view is stored in the viewcollection. Then you include your layout view, which builds the navigation, headers and footers, and drops the blog view in the middle. It just seems really clean to me. -- nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 10/3/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've seen developers wrap headers in footer in many different ways.

RE: Headers and Footers
Denny, As a developer who has been developing coldfusion applications now for 11 years, let me say this. Although the onRequestStart and onRequestEnd in Application.cfc is a good method for very lazy programmers, or if you're header and footer information never changes, but consider this. Custom Tag: If you developed a custom tag that could create the template required, you then have something that you could reuse in other sites by changing the style sheet, and minimise your work. But the biggest down side to the Application.cfc method you described, is you would never be able to introduce Ajax, or even webservices into your application or any form of Flex functionality. So think about how you want to expand your application first, or if you have to expand your application in the future and what problems you might have in doing this before deciding any solution to be the best. My advice would be to never use onRequestStart or onRequestEnd in that way to do header and footer processing. However if you would like to see an example of how one might use onRequestStart and end have a look at this. It has been constructed as a proof of concept, but it shows the power that you have and removing white space in this example is easy enough too. http://www.andyscott.id.au/index.cfm/2006/9/12/Proof-of-Concept Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

I set some sort of variable prior to this that is reference in the header / footer to determine output. I the following example, I set REQEST.Page which is used in the header to determine navigation and what not: Example page with headers/ footers: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=skinspider:0.viewcodefile=462C9 E6 E7E5B1C8E6091FB8940BA7D9E49E2AE744A6169B84A729D9AE1A1A841159C8C939E4 FA6F 8ABE7EF93999A6EA0AC9898823BAC1FA8CCD7C6E0A6CEC7CBFDEBA788F89288D398 42A1 code_module=I1_2006_09_27code_height=700#0587CE131042B73A28FBA15F45B0 78 29 Example header page: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=skinspider:0.viewcodefile=462C9 E6 E7E5B1C8E6091FB8940BA7D9E49E2AE744A6169B84A729D9AE1A1A841159C8C939E4 FA6F 8ABE7EF93999A6EA0AC9898823BAC1FA8CCD7C6E0A6CEC7CBFDEBA799E1819E9388 4DA39 380418C97509A9A537C686EA8512A5DBDAA3DA22DBFAFA3B2BC8D7B49AC31F3cod e_mod ule=I1_2006_09_27code_height=700#911875C4F2759B4537823DD3EDD643A1 Notice that in the header, I referencing the REQUEST.Page... (SORRY of the HUGE urls). Not sure how this integrates with Dream Weaver, but since its just straight up CFIncludes I imagine it would do just fine. And now, you can manage header footer arbitrarily. You can take it one step futher and just include a _header.cfm page which would then check variables and include a TYPE of header (ex. Standard, print, email, etc). ...

Some basic ideas just use includes, I've also seen custom tags that take attributes and effect the way a page is displayed. I'm looking for any ideas that would allow me to centrally manage header and footer content and still be able to use DreamWeaverMX2004 to make some quick table/css adjustments.
