Done both to be on the safe side! I wish they'd document this. I suppose it makes sense if you think about it, but it's not clear that you can't set a cookie like any other CF variable and expect it to work. Oh well, we all know now! Thanks Paul -Original Message- From: Rob

Why not wrap it in a tag (see tag gallery) like cf_stripwhitespace or cf_lesswhitespace (see below) They take out all whitespace from a cf document after it's been processed. It may sort it out, it may not. Paul PS cf_lesswhitepace from http://www.bjork.net/taggallery/index.htm is my personal

RE: [RE: Source Control for Linux]

2000-10-13 Thread Paul Johnston
First of all, you need a source control SERVER. This sits wherever your files are. Then you need a source control CLIENT. This chats to the server and says: "I want this file, let me have it!" or "Please create a new version of this for me". So, you install the server on the file server and the

2000-10-13 Thread Paul Johnston
An email is sent out with a url on it. THe url sets a cookie and then redirects the user with a cflocation tag. For some reason, the cflocation tag is run before the cfcookie tag is complete thus not allowing the cookie to be set. Any ideas? Paul PS Code: CFQUERY NAME="getnextpage"

Erm, I have never come across a situation where you would need to run X on linux whilst the web server is running. Maybe you need X to install some things, but after that it's strictly command line. Why waste resources on a GUI when you don't need it? Paul -Original Message- From:

I am having problems putting a decimal into a SQL Server field. The data type is decimal and I am passing the value in with DecimalFormat(#var#) with the commas taken out (so that it is just xx.xx and no more). Exactly what SQL do I need to add in? INSERT INTO... ... VALUES (

You could put all of the properties you want into a structure and then copy the structure into the session variable. Have a look at CF_XMLPARSE on http://www.siteobjects.com/index.cfm?fuseAction=showProducts for a really good XML tag that puts a document into a structure. Paul -Original

RE: Browser Detect and CFIF

2000-10-05 Thread Paul Johnston
We've had this question before. see CF_BROWSER in the tag gallery. It's more robust (although not perfect) than just using the CFIF stuff although it is a custom tag and gives more info than you could need (although it seems to still only uses the CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT part). Paul PS Why not
