error emails firing for no reason
I have a page that is acting extremely strange. It's a simple form processing page that runs validation against some of the passed form fields. If it fails any of the checks, it displays a basic error message and asks the user to go back to the form to fix the changes (this was not my work, it's legacy code). In order to do the checks, obviously the form fields have to exist. When I run the page and it finds a validation issue, the warning messages are put into an array as the checks are done, and if that array is found to have anything in it, the contents of the array are displayed. If nothing is found, the database is updated. This processes completely normally, nothing out of the ordinary. But for some weird reason, when the warning messages are displayed, the error emails that my onError function in Application.cfc creates are also triggering, claiming the form field being checked in the very first validation check cannot be found. To make matters weirder, the HTML page that the onError code creates (in addition to the email that is sent) is NOT displayed. I have debugging turned on, and it shows all the form fields passed to the page. Sure enough the field the error email claims is not there, is in fact there. I have tried wrapping the block the error email references in a CFTRY/CFCATCH to try and muzzle it. The email still is being sent. So I am really lost as to what is triggering these emails. I have Ray Camden's code regarding the CFABORT/CFLOCATION issues with onError already in. Any ideas at all? thanks -r _ Rob Barthle Contractor - Sr. Software Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-245-6484 ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267325 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Update: error emails firing for no reason (I still need help)
Update: I have the cause for why this is happening. The reason is that the form processing page is calling itself mere seconds after it is first called. The second time around, the form field do not exist, and that's the reason for the error. The problem is, there is nothing in the code that would cause that. And it's all happening in the background. The logs show that my computer's IP address makes a POST to the form submission page, as it should when I submit the form. But anywhere from 1-3 seconds later, a GET request is sent from the same IP address for the form submission page, and the listed referring page is the forms processing page. Here's the log entries. Can anyone help me as to why this might be happening? On the form processing page there are no CFLOCATION, CFHTTP, Javascript calls, anything that would cause a page to make an HTTP request for itself. (Sidebar: I have had this happen to me before on a personal site of mine. I never understood what was happening until now.

RE: Update: error emails firing for no reason (I still need help)
Check your FORM tag along with any JS validation your doing. Sometimes it can happen if you have a form tag that has: OnSubmit:CheckForm() instead of: onSubmit=return CheckForm(); That way if the form validation false it would return false and NOT process the form. Else might be doing it twice. Just a thought. I may be way off base but worth a look. -Original Message- From: Barthle, Robert (Contractor) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 3:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Update: error emails firing for no reason (I still need help) Update: I have the cause for why this is happening.

Re: Update: error emails firing for no reason (I still need help)
But anywhere from 1-3 seconds later, a GET request is sent from the same IP address for the form submission page, and the listed referring page is the forms processing page. Would you have by any chance some onsubmit function that does a submit() on the form?
