FCK has by far the best scrubbing tool I've found for removing that crap MS dumps into it. Right, although it can be much improved, which I did in my own inline editor. But the most retarded thing in FCK (unless this has been improved) is that the cleaning is left to the good will of the user.

the date enters fine but my select query (which is happening BEFORE the insert and is wrapped in a CFIF to eliminate entering duplicate data) is returning a record count of 1 anyway. Could it be that your insert query has the same name as the first select query ? --

This cuts down on duplication, meaning that only one validation routine needs to be maintained. Fine, but it is means more overhead for the server, thus less efficiency for the user. The purpose of an application is to be user friendly, not programmer friendly. And Javascript validation

Error recovery

2007-04-30 Thread Claude Schneegans
Hi, In my CMS I'm using some template defined in a CFERROR tag in the Application.cfm template to log every detail I can in a memo field in the database, for further examination. I can dump almost everything, especially the session, URL, form scopes. But I do not have the variables from the

This will contain all the error specific info. Is this what you are talking about? Not really, this only contains information about the error, and I already CFDUMP it. What I'm talking about is the variables scope of the template that caused the error. I mean all variables that were defined in

2007-04-30 Thread Claude Schneegans
My guess would be the reason you can't do it, is because the variables struct is probably only completely populated AFTER the page has been checked for errors. Well, I think the reason is simply that variables scope is proper to every termplate. If the error template was included, the

If that were true though, how is the form scope available? I didn't think of that, but you have a pretty good point. If it were passing the form struct through to the error template somehow, it could also pass the variables struct. Absolutely, and if it was running as a new template, it also

Whap happens if you try to CFDump out the VARIABLES scope? Does it throw an error? Yes, and then the CFERROR template is leaved for the standard error page. -- ___ REUSE CODE! Use custom tags; See http://www.contentbox.com/claude/customtags/tagstore.cfm

can you re-engineer the Application.cfm into an Application.cfc that takes advantage of the onError event? According to Josh in the same thread, that will not solve the problem. Apparently, both functionalities use the same internal code. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

2007-04-30 Thread Claude Schneegans
if you are getting a very consistent and duplicatable error, then start debugging the template that causes the error. It is the ABC of the debugging. But the most difficult part is generally to be able to reproduce the error. In this task, the dump of the error context is quite helpful. --
