Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Another Question From Rip Van Winkle:Which Book?
Another option might be to look at what these Javascript libraries have to offer: Prototype and script.aculo.us http://www.pragprog.com/titles/cppsu These are not just for UI niceties. They handle a lot of the browser issues correctly and transparently.

Second, Doug, which of those frameworks would you recommend? In its documentation, Adobe refers to Spry from time to time... I still have my question about how to re-write my particular functions (or properties to be precise) Firefox-style. Thanks for the info that parentNode = parentElement, but what about the other two? Incidentally, to most of you write web pages full of code like 'if IE to this, if NS do that'? I hope there's a way to escape from that!

I always used to write for Internet Explorer, and did so again after my return to programming a few months ago, resulting in what is by now a rather complex site. Many CF (and other internet-based) programmers have told me since then that I should have written for Firefox, and I now wish I had, because of it's debugging abilities. But... How easy will it be to convert my existing code to run on Firefox? Specifically, there are three functions I'm making heavy use of: 1. getElementById 2. parentElement 3. children[] According to my latest DOM book (O'Reilly, published 1998 - yes, I know I need a new one) none of these exists in Netscape (same as Firefox, right?). And sure enough I get error messages at least with the first one (I never get past there to the others). So my question is: What is the Firefox way to do each of them? (According to my O'Reilly book, document.all[] doesn't exist in Netscape, either.) One catch is: I would very much like to avoid giving unique names to everything, for two reasons: 1. There are lots and lots of them. This is a roll-my-own HIERARCHICAL grid of sorts with buttons to insert and delete new rows on

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF application -- UML or any other diagram
I've searched high and low for free UML tools and found the best of them to be NetBeans (with UML module). Recently we purchased MagicDraw UML at work.
