Firebug is cool but I also use a reverse proxy called Charles which is extremely useful (http://www.charlesproxy.com/)

In Firebug you can see AJAX calls. Right click on that line in FB then select copy with parameters, and paste that into a new tab. It'll store all of your passed in vars, and let you see what CF is doing. andy -----Original Message----- From: Doug Hyde [mailto:deve...@fusesite.com] Sent: Thursday, October 01, 2009 6:32 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Debugging jquery post to coldfusion I am having trouble processing a post to a cf template using a jquery post. I have set up a template to dynamically evaluate the form fields being posted - it isn't working, however it uses the following basic syntax: <cfloop list="#FieldNames#" index="i"> <cfif i does not contain 'fieldnames'> <cfset value = evaluate(i)> #i# #value# </cfif> </cfloop> One of the challenges I find with debugging coldfusion and jquery/ajax interactions is seeing what is going on. To address this, and as a way to debug what is going on with the jquery post, I decided to place the above code in a cfmail tag as follows: <cfmail to="myem...@someaddress.com" from="myem...@someaddress.com" server="localhost" subject="Test jquery form post"> <cfloop list="#FieldNames#" index="i"> <cfif i does not contain 'fieldnames'> <cfset value = form[i]> #i# #value# </cfif> </cfloop> </cfmail> When I post to this template, I find that this doesn't work either? Huh? Can anyone explain why? The code below does work (I get a message with the fieldnames and values) so jquery is posting... <cfmail to="myem...@someaddress.com" from="myem...@someaddress.com" server="localhost" subject="Test jquery form post"> <cfloop collection="#form#" item="i"> <cfif i does not contain 'fieldnames'> <cfset value = form[i]> #i# #value# </cfif> </cfloop> </cfmail> Any explanation why the first cfmail example wouldn't work? In the meantime, I am going to start recoding my template to use the second method. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
